Several years ago, a friend of mine told me this method of storing plastic shopping bags.
I find it handy to have a bag or two in my diaper bag, or purse, or in the car to be used for dirty diapers, wet swimsuits, trash, whatever.
Of course, you can wad up a bag and shove it into your purse, but they take up more room and are easily destroyed that way.
Begin with a regular bag.
Fold it in half lengthwise,
then in half again.
Fold up a triangle
continue folding it flag-style
Tuck in the end and ta-da,
you have a neat little bag ready to tuck into your purse for any use.I do always feel a little bit like the anal-retentive chef when I do this, but it works for me!

ReplyDeleteWhat a good idea! I've needed to put a few plastic bags in my diaper bag - now I know a nicer way to store them, without them being all wadded up & bulky.
