    I was saving them like a crazy person, I just kept putting them into a cabinet that I otherwise didn't use..........

    Then I decided to stop. I haven't saved any in about 6 months............

    and I'm still not even close to out of them! UGH. lol.

    Not just an irish thing!

    We have a small/narrow cupboard next to the washing machine. Perfect for storing plastic bags!! :D

    For my plastic bags we have a dispenser in the pantry, and we don't refer to them as plastic bags, we refer to them as dog poop bags. M gets frustrated with me when we go shopping and I grab the reusable bags because since I've started using them we've had to actually buy dog poop bags.

    I have corrected loose/lose so many times I read this as lose and almost corrected you...I would have looked like a dumb *kitten*

    I don't know about plastic bags but I'm sure every house has a 'bits and bobs' drawer....batteries, candles, screws, packets of seeds, glue, anything you can't think of anywhere else to put!!!

    BAG HOARDER!!
    I'm going to suggest you to the Hoarders show!

    j/k

    I recycle my plastic bags. They actually are banned in my city now so I don't get as many as I used to.
    Previously I had one plastic bag that served as Prime Bag Holder and I stuffed it's litte guts out! Then I took it to the bag recycing bin.

    Can't see the bag, guess it'll only make sense if you've seen that episode of 30 Rock.

    And if you don't watch 30 Rock you probably wouldn't know funny any damn way.

    I want to make babies with Tina Fey. Mega girl crush. Our children will be short, sarcastic, and awkward. YAY

    It's a "junk drawer" in our house.

    Nope, these are outlawed in my town now. Stores can't give them out anylonger. My plastic bag supply is now ZERO.

    Before that, I stored them in empty tissue boxes under the sink. THey tuck nicely in there and are easy to pull out.

    We call it the 'catch-all' drawer!

    I keep a small supply of plastic bags in a holder and stash the rest in my re-usable shopping bags to recycle the next time I go grocery shopping...don't know how I get so many of the darned things!!!

    I started using cloth bags about 5 years ago (which is good yes) but now we have NO plastic bags in our house. So, when we need one it's like a mad hunt around the house for a stupid plastic grocery bag. We made an unplanned stop to Walmart this weekend though, so now we have 2 (yay!) haha

    They can also be stuffed into an empty tissue box and pulled back out one at time when needed.

    That's Genius!

    Forget the drawer... I have an entire bottom cabinet and when that gets full I transfer the bags to the trunk of my car (so I can drop them off at the local resale shop!)!

    I use an old can (formula in my case, or you could use a coffee can), I cut a hole in the cover and stuffed it with as many plastic bags as possible. Than I put one under each bathroom sink. Its nice to have one close when you need it.
