I keep all of the plastic bags that I get when I go grocery shopping. I put all of the bags into one bag and keep that bag in a bottom kitchen drawer. Here are some ideas on how to resue those bags.
Some stores, like Aldi’s and Costco, offer no bags. That’s when the plastic bags come in handy. Bring them with you and bag your items for easier carrying.
Line your small garbage cans at home with them, rather than buying bags. I actually always have one in one of our bathrooms, so that after I clean the cat box I can get rid of the waste neatly.
Put one in the car for trash. I hook mine over the inside latch of the glove compartment, so if we have trash while driving it goes right into the bag.
We take them with us when we go camping, and dispose of dog waste in them.
We always keep a bag in my younger son’s backpack, in case he has an accident there is something to put wet clothing in.
Do you reuse plastic bags? Feel free to share how you reuse them.
I do reuse some, but I get more than I can use. I just took a gigantic plastic bag filled with smaller plastic bags to Wal-Mart for recycling.
I use them in the same ways especially for garbage. I also use them to put shoes in when packing luggage. My grandmother used to wash them, hang them out to dry and use them instead of clear wrap on foods. Now that’s frugal. Since I cut back on food shopping, I don’t have so many around.

We reuse plastic bags till they fall apart! We are a family (with ten-year-old twin boys) traveling on bicycles and all of our belongings get stashed in our panniers. When it rains, it would all get wet, if not for those plastic grocery bags. We tend to stockpile the bags and then when it rains, everything in the panniers get stashed in them. I don’t know what we would do without them!
We are now getting ready to ride our bikes from Alaska to Argentina - leaving in THREE WEEKS!!! YIKES!!!
