Although I take my reusable grocery bags to the store with me when I shop, that doesn't mean I don't forget them on occasion, or purchase more than they will hold. Having a few plastic bags in your house is almost inevitable, but this fun tutorial shows you not only how to roll them to store them, but a resourceful way to keep them on hand for impromptu needs.
It's summer and there's all sorts of fun to be had. There are wet swim suits, muddy shoes from wading in creeks and more. It can be a long ride home with soggy shorts or the fear that your car upholstery will never recover. Instead, try this simple trick for repurposing plastic bags to keep you ready for all life's emergencies.
By reusing an old Lysol wipes container and filling it with retail shopping bags, the result is an on-the-go, pop-up bag dispenser that is as easy to use as it is to create. The key is all in the rolling technique used to keep the bags in order so things don't get tangled inside the container.

Great idea!
GENIUS. I swear those stinkin' bags spawn as soon as I shut the cabinet door...
Brilliant!
I am a HUGE fan of T and J, I love Mod Podge, but this does not appeal at all to my practical side. First, I don't buy Clorox toxic wipes, I make my own cleaners. Second, I can't believe how much time one person would spend trying to figure out how to fold plastic grocery bags so they fit inside, when you can just as easily use re-useable ones and not take home plastic bags in the first place. Sorry, Jen, I just don't see the point of this one.
Love this! Thanks for the idea!
Nice idea. Here's a new use:
I developed a method to reuse / recycle both a 105 count Clorox Wipes container in addition to a 32oz Dannon Yogurt container. This technique creates a sub-irrigated planter / pot. I’ve been testing this with good success:
