I am one of the millions of people who suffer from having way to many plastic bags. I have tried folding them, stuffing them in other bags, and even buying the cloth tubes made for holding them. I will admit that the cloth tubes look nicer than a bulging bag full of bags, but it doesn't do much in the way of space reduction. I have looked all over trying to find ways to use the bags and be creative, but nothing really came up. I ended up just recycling a handful of them every time the bag got too full. We use the bags for small trash cans around our apartment and for when we need to carry multiple of something, but we don't use them faster than we gain them.
I finally found this great blog that showed a tutorial on how to fold plastic bags into "footballs" to make storage easier and tidier. After doing these, it is worth the few minutes it takes to fold up any bags I bring home from grocery shopping. It does not take long, and it becomes easier to do with repetition. See for yourself how neater it looks!
