How to Fold Plastic Bags For Easy Storage

If you are like me, you probably have a large collection of plastic bags from your various shopping excursions. I try to re-use them as poo bags or garbage can liners in our bathrooms, but without fail I run out of space for them. We have reusable grocery bags but we are also human and forget them. Recycling them is great but also requires a special trip as soon as I drop them off, I find myself in need of a plastic bag. Oy Vey!

BUT WAIT! I’ve got a simple solution that takes very little time! Fold those plastic bags up for easy storage!
