A friend of mine showed me a clever way to fold a plastic grocery bag. I'm sure everyone else knows this trick already, but I thought it was great! I've got bags bunched under every bathroom cabinet and under the kitchen sink, and this is a real space-saver.
First, straighten the sides of the bag by pulling the handle and the bottom pleat in opposite directions. Then, fold over (about 2 1/2 in. fold) along one side. Then, wrap around two fingers until you have it all rolled up except for the handles. Then, tuck the handles in the roll.
I wish I were clever enough to come up with these tricks on my own! Share your thrifty tricks in comments, if you like. |
