Household Hack – Plastic Bag Storage & Dispenser

I used to fold my plastic grocery bags into tight little packages that allowed me to store many in a very small space, but that recently changed when I came across this hack that is much more functional. Plus I don’t really need a ton of grocery bags stored because I only use them as trash bags. I do try to use reusable bags more often so I don’t accumulate plastic bags to begin with. Let me know if you want me to write a post about my previous bag folding method.

Basically, take an empty tissue box and stuff each plastic bag into the box with the end of the bottom of the bag folded around one of the handles of the preceding bag already in the box. I use the rectangular tissue box instead of the square one since it holds more bags. This method allows dispensing of bags in the same manner as you would grab a tissue from the box! Check my video to see how easy it is to pull a bag as well as how to stuff one in:
