Do you save the plastic zipper bags that bedding comes in?
I have been saving mine, and I mentioned the other day the I have used one for my DD's LP toys. I needed more bags for her toys today (I want the blocks in their own container, and they have outgrown theirs. I also want the "food" separated, as well as the tea party toys) so I went upstairs and got all those long-saved bags out. I have several sizes, and they are perfect. Even though holding on to too much stuff isn't good, I'm glad I kept these!

I often do and keep my wool and my quilt batting in them. They are just the right size usually.

I save ours when we buy new (rarely!) Seems like they'll stretch and hold anything - we've tried

I do. I use them to pack away the bedding when not in use. I have heavier bedding for the winter and lighter bedding for the summer.

I used to, but I never used them, so they were a victim of decluttering.

I've saved a grand total of ONE. Its in the trunk of my car with emergency supplies in it (blanket, water, snacks, etc.)
Nothing can taste as good as being thin will feel.

Don't you just love when you can get dual use of something. First, it stores your bedding in before you purchase the item. Then once its saved, you can use them for so many things.
I love that they are made of tough plastic. There isn't much these bags won't hold. They usually have a handle has well which makes them wonderful to carry from place to place.
