in Works For Me Wednesday

I went on a cleaning binge last night.

I don’t function well when things are cluttered and messy. That doesn’t mean I don’t have clutter and messes in my house. It simply means I function better when things are as they should be.

I found about 30 grocery bags under my sink. I hate to throw away grocery bags because you just never know when you might need one, but I hate that they were scattered about. And then it dawned on me that I learned a grocery bag trick some time ago. And then I found the cardboard paper towel roll that I stored under the sink a few weeks ago.

I retrieved approximately 712 bags from under the sink and wondered why in the heck I would have kept so many of them.

I started folding them in a back and forth manner until they were this big.

And then I began stuffing them into the tube. I think I got about eight in there.

And I placed that little tube under the sink.

Use this under the seat of your car, your desk drawer, or in a classroom.

This tip works for me.

Great tip! Although my cat may think it’s her job to pull each and every bag out of the tube!

Have a great day!

I love this idea! We keep all of our bags also to use as trash bags in the bath/bedrooms, for the car, dog poop and so forth but man can they take up so room. I can’t wait to go do this!
