Just about everyone has a bag/box/drawer full of plastic bags from the grocery store. And there is no denying they have a seemingly endless list of uses (dog pick-up bags and trash bag liners for small trash cans are my top two).
But storing them in that tangled mess is not great.
Fortunately, if you ever went to fourth grade and played flick football, you already have a solution. Or we can call it origami and sound much more upscale! 🙂
Flatten out each trash bag and fold it in half so the loops line up.
And fold that in half again.
And then start folding in a triangle from the non loop side.
Twist the loop over the finished football shape and you are done. A pile of these takes up much less space than a pile of squished up bags.

that my sister gave me for my birthday a couple of years ago (long story, only funny to us).
. And I found three perfectly good magnets at the bottom of that drawer as well.
