How to neatly store plastic grocery bags

In the video from HouseholdHacker below, see how you can use an empty container of baby wipes to store plastic bags – dozens of them! And if that won’t do, try a tissue box, cereal box or cardboard soda case.

You can neatly store your new plastic bag container in any room where you have a trash can or even in your car.

And if you have way too many bags, recycle them at the grocery store. Just don’t mix the bags with your other recyclables. The plastic bags can cause the machines at the recycling facility to fail.

How do you reuse grocery bags? Share your tip with us on Facebook and Twitter.
