Grocery Bag Storage
Many many years ago, what I’ll refer to as my former life, I had a friend whose grandmother use to fold her grocery bags into small triangles for easy storage. I loved this idea and I had her teach me how to do it.
I have to admit though I didn’t keep it up for very long.
Then came along the reusable bag craze and my collection of plastic bags dwindled to a manageable amount.
When I found myself with too many plastic bags I would donate them to the PKU office at the local hospital.
Now I find myself with a kitty cat and a vintage trinket business where I tend to need and use plastic grocery bags (you can figure out why lol regarding the kitty cat).
I needed one today and when I looked in my cupboard to retrieve a bag I was embarrassed to see the mess I let my bags get into. I’m almost ashamed to show this picture.

For some reason the triangle method popped in my head and I knew it had to be done. I started on the mess and within a half hour I had it looking like this. Now there is just one bag holding all the others, must neater, much better.
This is one of those small easy DIYs that can make a big difference.
Folding a bag into a triangle is quite easy but here is a link to this method and another method of folding (which I’ve seen done but haven’t tried).
Something old is new again….it’s A Wandaful Thing!!
How do you store your bags? I’d love to know!
OMG ! I used to do this when I was younger and my parents loved it ! Pretty sure we still have bags folded like this at the bottom of our bag storage ! 😀
