Plastic bags are a part of most people’s lives. Whether you are grocery shopping, clothing shopping, or even ordering items online, you will end up with some sort of plastic bag accumulation within your home. Now, some may view this as a negative occurrence, but with the right attitude and a little thought, you can put those bags to good use.

- Use plastic bags as garbage bags: Chances are your office, bathroom, and perhaps your bedroom all have garbage cans. These cans are a great deal smaller than those found in your average kitchen. Save money on buying small trash bags and save your grocery bags instead. These will make great small trashcan bags!
- Give your pets the gift of luxury. Plastic bags can be used in the realm of household pets in a few ways. They can make a killer pet bed. Stuff a pillow case with plastic bags; or, if you’re feeling crafty- make your own pet bed using some old fabric and some plastic bags. This will keep your cat or dog comfy and cozy in the home! (p.s. Plastic bags and food bags make perfect litter box liners, and pooper scoopers as well!)
- Moving? Plastic bags can serve as a gigantic help throughout the process. Use plastic bags to help pack your fragile items. You can wrap breakable glasses and tableware in plastic bags before stacking them inside a box. For larger fragile items, such as lamps and antiques, place the item in the box then stuff the sides with plastic bags until tight. This will save you money on packaging materials and provide you with a safe method of transporting your valuables!
