Every housewife who constantly visits shopping centers and grocery stores usually has in her arsenal a so-called “bag with bags”. This is a real crowd of supposedly disposable shopping bags, which we manage to use at least once more, and often even more. They are usually stored in a mess. After unloading the products, we just crumple the packaging bag and throw it in the box. The result is a huge, messy bunch of crumpled pieces of plastic, which over time begin to terribly annoying. I will tell you how to store store bags neatly and compactly.

The issue of collection and storage is very acute for many housewives. Recently, many stores are switching to environmentally friendly paper products, which solves the issue of storing seemingly unnecessary junk. But many still use plastic and plastic bags, and there are a lot of them in our homes. Of course, you can throw them away, but it’s much more economical to reuse them if their condition allows.
Important! Plastic products are not environmentally friendly, but most stores do not offer a choice, offering cheap plastic bags with handles or the so-called "T-shirts." Women simply have no choice but to use it to bring food to their homes.
Each zealous hostess will certainly put together a high-quality, not torn package, because it can come in handy in the future as a garbage bag or just to re-go with it to the store and not spend a few rubles each time to buy new.
How to organize package storage system?
That is why they "breed" in our homes at a tremendous speed that most people visit stores every day, bringing a new package home every day. As a result, a mountain of unnecessary bags accumulates in the box very quickly.
Typically, packages are stored in one of the following ways:
- bags nested in one;
- special shelf;
- basket;
- drawer.
Important! In any of the proposed options, as a rule, all the bags are crumpled and lying around as necessary. Storage of packages has no systematization and distribution by color, size or density.
I propose to streamline the store bag storage system to see how much usable space is “eaten up” by this messy bunch of packages. And most importantly, how to fold them beautifully and neatly so as not to get annoyed every day from the mess in the kitchen.
Life hack for competent storage
Everything is very simple - we need to take one package and, laying it on the floor or table, carefully align it with our palms. Then it is folded into a thin strip, three or four times, depending on the size of the bag. Handles also need to be carefully aligned.
Then we start folding the plastic product with a triangle, wrapping it from the bottom to the handles. As a result, you should get a volumetric triangle in which the handles are wrapped and all this is pressed by the palm of your hand to make the bundle flatter.
As you can see, the procedure is very simple. Such triangles can be put in a special small basket and gently put in a box. It is convenient to distribute the bags in size so that you can always take exactly the one that is required in a particular case.
This is a convenient way to store grocery shopping bags that will appeal to every housewife desperate to clean up her own kitchen. Do not be lazy to spend a few seconds folding, and you will see how the box is transformed, where you stored the notorious packages that constantly annoyed you with clutter.
