Do you have a drawer or
closet stuffed full of plastic grocery bags? I have my share, and since I hate
to throw away anything that can be useful, I try to put ‘em to use a second
time around. Before you discard (or even recycle)
another plastic bag, consider trying some of these super ideas:
· Save money by using plastic bags as
trash can liners.
· Don’t buy expensive mailing fillers—tuck plastic bags
around your items to keep them from moving around.
· For wet-weather gardening work,
slip a plastic bag over each sock before you put on your boots. The bags’ll
keep your feet dry no matter how many puddles you step in!
· When the forecast calls for
freezing rain or snow, cover your windshield wipers and mirrors with plastic
bags to save yourself the trouble of scraping in the morning.
· Before you head out on a road trip,
hang a bag over the back of your car’s seat. It makes a quick trash holder
that’ll keep your vehicle looking a whole lot neater.
· Time to paint? When you take a
break, wrap your brush and roller up in a plastic grocery bag. It’ll keep ‘em
from drying out.
· When peeling carrots or potatoes,
do it over a plastic bag. The peelings will drop right into the bag and you can
just toss the whole shebang in the trash—with no muss, and no fuss!
