Do you keep your shopping bags? email this discussion to a friend?

I was cleaning my room earlier and I realized that I have actually kept several shopping bags in my cabinet. I am referring to those paper bags where stores put the stuffs you buy from them. All of them are still in mint condition. Sometimes, I grab one or two so that I can bring some stuffs to and from work. I find them really handy. At the same time, I need not use plastic bags to package some stuff. How about you? Do you keep shopping bags for future use or do you just throw them away?

Everytime we come home from shopping i always keep those shopping bags and use it again when we have a food shop. Some of it, i used as a bin for leftovers and rubbish.The nice shopping bags is used by my hubby to pack his work stuff.

I keep the plastic bags that I get at the store and use for trash bags in the bathroom. However, if I get paper bags, I recycle them with newspapers at our local library. I have bought several canvas bags now and intend to use them most of the time so that I don't have so much waste and help with the environment.

It's nice to do something we love like shopping and yet, help save our environment by recycling... happy

Yes, I use them to put dirty diapers in. Or, I will use them to throw clothes out to the Salvation Army.. Or, I will use them to clean out junk that I no longer want in my home.. But, they are used, I will tell you that..

Hi Loud! I was actually referring to those paper bags that we get from shopping clothes, bags or shoes. These bags are are bigger and thus we can put more things in them.

Most of the time I take my plastic carrier bags back to the recycle bin in the supermarket. But there is the odd time that I get a really nice carrier bag and I just have to keep it. I do not tend to keep any paper ones though. I have a re usable shopping bag that I use for my shopping so I do not end up with as many shopping bags as normal.
