Frugal Living: Uses for Bread Bags

If you buy bread, save your bread bags.

Uses:

  • Store homemade breads in them.
  • Store leftovers (roasts, chicken, etc.) in them. (Wrap in wax paper first, if desired.)
  • For breading meats, chicken, etc.
  • Lunchbags.
  • Trash bags in the car.
  • For compost clippings.
  • Plant seeds or cuttings in them.
  • If they’re clear, use them over pots of seedlings and cuttings to make a mini-greenhouse.
  • Use them for collecting, on nature walks.
  • Save up a bunch of them and stuff a pillow.
  • Wet or snowy weather? Pull them over your children’s shoes and add a rubberband around the pants leg. Instant mud boots! (use two over each shoe)

What do you use them for?

Have a lovely day,

Denese

    I can’t think of any others, but I love the shoe covering idea. I vaguely remember doing this as a small child!

    I can remember using them the couple times it snowed when I was little.
    I don’t use them now, we all have waterproof boots we wear year-round.
    Big difference living in the country than a city!
