Reuse: Grocery Bags and a Milk Carton

Do you keep plastic grocery bags?  I do and I always have a million.  I use them to line mini trashcans in bathrooms and also to house stinky diapers.  But I usually have on hand way more than I need.  Well, I found a simple solution!  Cut a hole in the bottom of an empty plastic milk carton and store them inside.  It holds about 25, which I think is just about right.  All the bags that didn’t fit are now in my recycling bin.  I’m not a plastic bag hoarder anymore and I have an empty cupboard I can fill with something more useful.

I found a convenient place for my new storage bin right inside my pantry that is both accessible and hidden from main traffic.

That is really quite genius. I need to do that.
