Organize Your Plastic Bags (without one of those overpriced things!)



Whether you reuse those plastic bags for packing lunches, or picking up after your pet, there is nothing more annoying than having a collection of free-flowing plastic bags roaming around your living room. However, there is no need to spend much money on expensive bag-storing systems. Instead, opt for a stylish, yet practical method...

First of all, gather all of your plastic bags into one area. If you have an obscene amount of these bags (as I recently did), then recycle most of them at your local Wal-mart or grocery store. Most of these stores have bins in the front of their buildingsthat are delegated for this use.

Secondly, you will need an empty tissue box. Make sure to use one that has the plastic top, where each bag will be able to be routinely plucked. Use either a recently empty box that you have lying around, or, if you are very aesthetic, head to your local Walmart or Target to purchase one that resembles your tastes. These boxes now come in every shape, color, and design-- don't be afraid to choose ones that reflect your personality or decorating scheme!

Next, insert each bag into the empty box. When you get more bags, place a few in the empty box and recycle the rest. Whenever you need a plastic bag, simply turn to your new box and enjoy!
