Thread: Double plastic bags, please????

    I don't ask for double bags, unless I have heavy items.. I reuse all the walmart type bags in my wastebaskets, which all get changed daily (I clean out the cat boxes and put the "goodies" in the WM bags as I close them up to put in the trash cans.)

    Normally when I go to the store, whether it's Giant, Redner's or where ever, I bag my own groceries, and that way I can double bag whatever I want. I go through a bunch of doubled bags when scooping the litter pans.

    No, I just use the singles. But in the late summer when Dad's garden is ripe, I tend not to buy as much and then I find I sometimes am almost out of bags. So I will keep this in mind for that time of the year!

    I use the self check out's whenever possiable so I can double bag the heavier stuff. I have several people saving their bags for me for the cat litter and I do double bag that. I shut the bag inside the bag and use it two days then carry it to the dumpster.

    I don't ask for double bags, since the bags can't carry that much, meaning I end up with a lot as it is. But I do double bag when cleaning litter since some of the bags have holes and I don't want the litter to leak.

    I occasionally ask for paper bags for the kitties to play in.

    We always use to ask them to double the bags so we can reuse them.But it got so I had so many that Mike threw some out so I stopped asking.But they do come in handy.I hate throwing away good bags.Mike has been throwing them away but I stop him when I see him do it because I know we'll use them for something eventually.They sell bag holders that can store those type plasic bags and they hang on a hook(it's cloth with a pretty design,about 2 feet long with 2 holes on either end with elasic to hold them in without falling out on the bottom..you can stuff about 30 in them I think to get them out of the way nice and neat.

    Thank You Kim for this wonderful siggy

    I have a "baglady" that holds my plastic bags.. She hangs on a hook as well, and you stuff the bags in the opening in the bottom of her "skirt".. She holds a LOT of bags.. I have had her for years. I can always tell when my bags are getting low, because I have a skinny, underfed "baglady".
