We all have tons of plastic bags.  We call them Wal-mart bags here because we go there a lot, so most of our bags are from there!  I was raised to use and reuse all kinds of bags.  So I always keep these bags and reuse them for garbage bags and carrying things and such.  But they take up so much space.  This picture is of 5 bags.

See, even wadded up, they would take up a lot of space.  Well, my mil taught me a cool way to store them so they take up minimal space.  I will walk you through it.

First, lay your bag down and flatten it out.

261

Fold it in half,

262

and then in half again.

263

Starting at the bottom, start rolling it up.

264

Keep rolling,

265

and rolling until you get to the handles.

266

Open up the handles to form a loop,

268

twist the loop,

269

and fold it back over the bag.

271

There you go.  It takes some time, but now look at how much space those 5 bags take up!  I keep these all in a bag in my pantry, and I never run out of bags!
