    ANOTHER HACK FOR STORING BAGS: Take a trashbag and put all of your plastic bags inside. hang it up anywhere (we have ours in the garage) and cut one of the corners off the trash bag. That was you can store many more bags!

    A lot of cities don't recycle plastic grocery bags if they are put into the regular recycling bins. Please look up if your city recycles them or not. If not, you have to take them to a bag center in a grocery store. Sam goes for any soft plastic packaging such as wrappers, sealing plastic, shipping air bags, etc.

    _TIP: lets say you have half a dozen plastic bags filled with groceries, pick an empty bag, pass it through all the handles of the other bags and tie it, when carrying this bundle spread your fingers holding from different places there so you dont have all the loops digging into the same spot on your hand. feels MUCH LIGHTER_

    You can also take a pair of scissors, cut off the handles, then from the top, or from the bottom cut the bag up to form a long string, then you can do this to many a bag, and use them as you'd use yarn. You can make bags out of the bags, or make mats for basically anything. Just look it up. Some even use them to make simple bedding mats, for those in crisis situations.
