save them. They work very good in the 9 qt small wastebaskets.

I save them and use them to wrap the not so pretty diapers in. Also for the bathroom wastebasket. Everyone in my family saves them. And I always have a couple handy in the car for extra trahs when traveling. Gotta love those free grocery bags...lol.

I don't accept plastic bags anymore.If a have a few items or one item I carry them out by hand,if I have a lot of items I carry my cloth bags into the store with me.I always keep them in the car.

I use them for the cat litter, and sometimes to carry lunch in. I recycle any that I don't use.

I re-use everything that comes into my house. I have a frame attached to the kitchen cabinet door, under the sink that holds them for trash. I also have several craft patterns that re-use them. My favorites are coaster patterns.

I use them for trash bags in the bedrooms and bathrooms.

I usually say no bag thanks and bring a reusable backpack. However, some stores are really quick to bag before I get a chance to mention. So I save the ones I end up with, and use them for putting garbage in, that then goes into a bin rather than buying garbage bags. So on average they only get reused once. The really thick plastic bags that hardly any places give out anymore I like to save to use to bring items to potlucks etc.

I reuse some as moisture-proof waste basket bags and I recycle the rest. I use a canvas bag for some groceries and paper bags for the other groceries. I recycle the paper bags that I don't reuse for later grocery purchases.

I try not to use them. Here in Ireland we have to pay a levy on plastic grocery bags to try and reduce usage for environmental reasons

Avoid using them if possible. If not possible, I recycle. There's a bin on my way back into the store.

I try to remember to take my fabric bags so I don't get plastic. I still forget the fabric bags A LOT, so I use the plastic bags I get when cleaning the cat box.

You mean "soiled cat litter receptacles"? Toss 'em!

Plastic bags are more handy and helpful than you think. Make a list of all the things you could do with them. And make a list of what would happen if you just threw them out.

I use them for garbage.

Well we save them and when too many bags are in one bag we throw them out. and recycle them.

Save them, they come in handy.

I HAVE THEM, IF A STORE DOES'NT USE THEM, I DONT SHOP THERE. ( JUST BECAUSE PEOPLE CANT PICK UP THEIR TRASH, THE REST IN THE COUNTRY IS SUPPOSED TO DELETE IT,) NO WAY.

Save them. Throw them out only full of garbage. But mostly I shop at places where you don't get the bags and I take a cardboard box.

I use them to put my sneakers in for the gym and pick of dog poop in the backyard. I save them all and ask the store to double bag my groceries. If we have too many I take them to the store and recycle them or donate them to the animal shelter for poop bags. I also use them to empty the small trash can in my room.

save them and use them for rubbish and potato peelings.
