Doggie Bag
The Everlasting Plastic Shopping Bag
Many of us have them by the hundreds. They pile up in our pantries because we just can’t seem to throw them away. If only it were some type of currency, it may solve our nation’s debt issues.
It’s the plastic shopping bag.
Apartmentites, it’s time to get those creative juices flowing. We know those little bags are re-usable, which is why we stuff them on a shelf in the pantry or under the sink. But what can we use them for?
We’ve put together a small list of helpful ideas that may put that balled up wad of 1000 plastic bags to good use. Next time try re-using those plastic bags as a/an:
Umbrella-ella-ella- It’s raining outside and you don’t want to get your hair wet? Easy. Cover your head with a plastic shopping bag. ***MAKE SURE NOT TO COVER YOUR FACE OR INHIBIT BREATHING***
Abrasive Scrubber- Need something to clean the grime off of your grill or scrub the tub? Go ahead and wad up a few bags into a plastic ball-like sponge and scrub away.
Trash Bag- Probably the most common use, we all know that these bags make great trash bags for the kitchen, bathroom, office, or bedroom. They work really great in the car too!
Laundry Bags- Sure, one bag probably won’t fit all of your laundry, but fill a few plastic bags up with your dirties and suddenly you have yourself some cheap laundry bags.
Pooper Scooper- Gross, I know, but if you are without an actual scoop and need something to pick up Fido’s feces, nothing comes in more handy than a plastic shopping bag. Also, works great to line Mittens’ litter box too.
Packing Material- Forget those little peanuts that get everywhere. When packing up your fragile items in boxes for your next move, stuff plastic shopping bags all around the items inside the box to insure their safety. Heck if you don’t have a lot of stuff to move, you could even use the bags as your “boxes.”
Scrubs- Need a quick foot cover? Tie one of those bad boys on each foot and suddenly you have cheap and easy scrubs. You can also do the same thing over dirty shoes to keep the carpet clean. (Don’t try to use them to walk on water though. It will absolutely not work)
Doggie Bags/Lunch Box- Another common use, plastic shopping bags tend to work great for sending those leftovers home with dinner guests or sending Junior to school with a packed lunch.
Organizational Bins- Need to keep some things separate and organized? Use bags labeled with a sharpee.
Recycle them- Many markets and grocery stores now offer some type of recycling program for these bags, so if you don’t want to re-use them around the apartment…check there for recycling options.
We could go on and on about the various uses that plastic shopping bags can be used and hope that those few ideas can get you started on some of your own uses.

Baby Powder Dog Classic Waste Bag in Blue – Size: 100 Capsules $25.95 Pictured in 35 Capsules – DNP1009: Since 1988, the Doggie Walk Bags team has worked hard to create the ideal bag for picking up after ones pet. Our creation of this ideal bag needed to include these features; Odor Neutralization to mask offensive odors and make the task more tolerable, (no animals were used in testing of the scent), Responsibly Priced so bags can be used daily. But perhaps most importantly is what affect our bag would have on the environment. One of our top priorities is to minimize our global footprint. Besides cleaning up the mess now, we want to make sure we are not creating messes for generations to come. Plastic is a hot topic in current environmental issue discussions. Where a plastic water bottle can take dozens of years to degrade, the decomposition process for our bags begins within two months, about the same time as an apple-core takes. Also convenient for dirty diaper disposal, cat litter pick-up, car trash, camping waste, dirty gym clothes, wet bathing suits, and car, boat, or air sickness needs. Features: -Dog waste bag. -100% Degradable. -Available in several sizes. -Scent: Baby powder. -Opaque: Yes. -Tie handle: Yes. -35 Capsules. -Made in United States. Specifications: -5 Capsules dimensions: 1.5-6 H x 0.5-1 W x 1.5-4 D. -25 Bags dimensions: 3-10 H x 0.5-1 W x 4-6 D. -35 Bags dimensions: 10 H x 0.5-1 W x 6 D. -35 Capsules dimensions: 1.5-9 H x 1-1 W x 1.5-2 D. -70 Pop-out bags dimensions: 6-10 H x 1-1.5 W x 1.5-6 D. -100 Capsules dimensions: 8-10 H x 1-1.5 W x 6-12 D. |
