Instructions

  • Step 1:
    Choose a specific place to put plastic bags in your house. A large bag, or even store bought plastic bag holders will serve this purpose and help you avoid the inclination to throw them out.
  • Step 2:
    Re-use these plastic bags as liners in all your household wastebaskets. Most plastic bags are the perfect size for a standard wastebasket.
  • Step 3:
    Bring used plastic bags to the grocery store when you go shopping. Almost all plastic bags are strong enough to reuse.
  • Step 4:
    Pack your shampoos, conditioners, lotions etc. in these plastic bags when traveling. Often liquids spill in suitcases, and plastic bags will save you from a ruined suitcase.
  • Step 5:
    Throw a few plastic bags in your car for garbage bags. You'll never know when you need them!
