There was an inquiry regarding using bags that had meat in them. I save my marshmallow, brown sugar etc. bags flat and separately. When I buy a package of meat to be utilized in smaller portions, I put those portions in those bags with a twist tie and then put the batch in a bread bag, label and date it, mark the position in the freezer in pencil on a “what’s available in the freezer” list and store. When I use them, I throw them.
I store general sized bags, gallon zip, and sandwich/zip bags separated into three different gallon milk jugs with larger holes cut on the top and laid sideways on a shelf space about that size. They are great for slipping over food in a bowl and many other including sorting errands, groups of similar papers etc.
I dry bags on a mug racks arms. We can use the moisture in the house. They dry nicely on the line in summer even with 3 held from corners by one clothes pin.
I love your validation of my saving ways because I don’t get much from anyone else. I’ve been told,”You are so frugal you make me sick,” when I am not that good at it at all. I had attached a dried Hydrangea to a brown paper lunch bag for a gift decoration and closure for a second marriage get together, when the gift inside was handmade but worth $80.
