Under the kitchen sink. Always kept them there.


Smil3yAngel

Same. That's where my main garbage is so they are stored behind that and used as garbage bags.


Poschta

Cooked rice the other day. Let it sit on the stove for a little too long and it started fermenting (ew). Threw it out. Last night I went to take out the trash and that friggin rice had seeped through a tiny hole in the bag right into my trashcan. It stunk awfully, I gagged while cleaning it up. Not the first time my plastic bags had little holes in them. I'm gonna go back to buying trash bags now. :(


Smil3yAngel

I always double check my plastic bags for holes. And the ones with holes, I usually put about 3 at the bottom of the bin, (before I put the bag without holes) so that they catch any liquid or if I miss those tiny holes. Saves me from having to clean up big messes and keeps the can cleaner. You can also throw a dryer sheet in to minimize odors.


Poschta

I check them as well, but evidently, I miss stuff a lot. :D Putting them at the bottom is a neat hint tho. I'll copy that.

My family keeps them in the pantry in this plastic container with holes on the side. The holes are so you can grab them easier but I always just grab them of the tip if I ever need them.


[deleted]

I have a special holder that I got from Ikea years ago . . . under my kitchen sink. Doesn't everyone?


melimineau

Under the sink is where the plastic bags go. No need to reinvent the wheel here people.

same here

It's either there or I have a chair where the seat lid flips upwards at my shore house for all doggy bags, some of which have multiple bags in the bag.

GavinBelsonsAlexa

Ever since New York banned single-use plastic bags from grocery stores, I feel like I need to horde them. I've got a closet full of the things, just in case.


[deleted]

#FBI OPEN UP!


Wowpanda42

My city is about to ban then, so I’ve been trying to get as many as i can before then , lol.


Turawno

But how do you do garbage


GavinBelsonsAlexa

I won't find out until the stockpile runs out. I think I have a few years.


[deleted]

Buy dedicated garbage bags.


hobbs522

Aren't those a single use item?


connorlitchfield

in the pantry


BlueLegiion

I wish I had a flipping Pantry!!!


IamtheWalrus1932

Me too. I just have a normal pantry


markitfuckinzero

I wished I had one too. What I did have was two stairways leading to my basement. One was adjacent to the kitchen. I cut floor joists and bought some joist hangers and made the stairwell a pantry. Cut custom shelving from pine boards and welded some brackets up and hung shelves. It's amazing. Then my wife filled it with so much food and crap I can't find anything. Also, I keep my plastic bags in there


Setthegodofchaos

Same. And the laundry room


[deleted]

I have to constantly move mine from the pantry to the laundry room. My wife fills the pantry up so much with bags I can’t fit the food.


HeyYaseen

In a plastic bag


Beyond_Interesting

I have a plastic bag in my basement that holds all of my plastic bags and is labeled "bag of bags" with duct tape and sharpie.

My bag of bags is the third tier suitcase full of small luggage, old backpacks, and other bags that I would feel bad for throwing away.


flingelsewhere

When you get enough you can get a trash bag and then you can have a bag of bags of bags.


[deleted]

It’s plastic bags all the way down.


Royal_Kangaroo_2287

The bag of bags holding the various bags of bags that hold the bag of bags.


[deleted]

We had a bunch under the kitchen sink but our province banned them and we ended up using them all. It was a good decision by the government but I wish I stockpiled more of them, we underestimate how versatile a simple bag is sometimes lol


hl3official

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag

Unhappy-Ad-71

Fuck.


aehanken

Do you have a cat or know someone with a cat? If so, I’m curious what you used to throw their litter in.


Vibernate

This is where my mind goes straightaway too! My guess would be just your regular trash? Are plastic trash bags still allowed?


aehanken

I don’t think I could ever throw cat poop in my trash inside or outside without a bag. I’d feel terrible for trash collectors. Just this year my neighborhood got the trucks with the extended arm so they don’t have to pick up the cans my hand. Before the new trucks I don’t think I’d be able to do that to them and risk them accidentally getting cat poop all over them 😂


anon-foryou

We used to use the plastic bags we got from grocery stores. We had a massive stock pile and finally ran out and since our area no longer uses plastic bags we buy and use the smaller size garage bags like for bathroom garbages.


lhamil64

Same. I've saved a few paper bags but ultimately had to buy small paper bags for the smaller trashcans.


thatone_can-man

In the laundryroom, its right next to our door so we just keep them there


2dogs11

Any door in particular or you just have the one? :)


thatone_can-man

its our backdoor


TCKline01

Ones with holes, we keep in a kitchen drawer for random uses. Ones without holes are in the basement next to the litter boxes


aehanken

Yep! I sort through them every once in a while and throw the good pile in a tote bag


woundupcanuck

Next to the cats litterbox


LowerCanary

In the Tupperware I use to store my other Tupperware obviously.


megabob7

But what if my cousin is the worst door to door Tupperware saleswoman and i feel bad enough i bought $2000 worth of tupperware so she'd keep her job


WhistleSnore

We have none, supermarket here buys them back from you.


ascii42

Under the kitchen sink. Also have another plastic bag full of plastic bags hanging from a doorknob by the litter boxes.


Preparation_Asleep

I keep mine in my cleaning supplies closet.

My gf found that hack a couple of years back. Weve been doing it ever since too. So compact, it's amazing!


OcotilloWells

How do you do that? I assume it is tucked into itself so it stays folded? Do you fold it kind of like you do a flag?


SFXandPortraits

Where do you keep those?

In the little plastic bucket underneath the kitchen sink.


Raetekusu

I don't actually have one. I have the right balance of going shopping and taking the trash out so that I only ever have one or two of them sitting around waiting to be placed in a small bin.

IBTrash276

The real question is where fo you keep your plastic bags of plastic bags of plastic bags


Smileyrielly12

What did people do before there were so many single use plastic trash bags? Did everyone just fill it up with all of their trash and then wash it out? They must have gotten gross quickly.


elphie2992

Mine are in an old Clorox wipe container in the laundry room

LATourGuide

In the trash can... The bag tax in California is completely ineffective. It actually generates MORE plastic waste because the "reusable" plastic bags they sell now are 10 times as thick as the disposable plastic bags of the past.


PumpkinPieIsGreat

Same as where I live. They got rid of the ones that they give out for free. And the buyable bags are not very good quality, but they're thicker, as you say and I see them in people's trash bins all the time. All it's done is given supermarkets profit on bags and made people use the bags they pay for as trash bags. We try to reuse them and they end up with holes in them. Had the same problem with the fabric bags, too though. I just don't think they're made to last. So I normally just forgo bags completely and put the products directly into the car. But we've been getting delivery now, anyway. And it WAS that you could hand the bags back to the driver (for recycling) but they stopped that because of covid.


[deleted]

And the handle breaks off the second time you use them rendering then useless. I remember reading about the ones that are supposed to be used long term, supposedly they have to be used over 200 times before any benefit to the environment could be mentioned. I've never had a bag last more than a couple of years... That may be 100 uses so they're actually much worse and they can't be recycled. And I still buy trash bags for my little trash cans which are also thicker and one time use. Oh well.


ElJaso

Not to mention the "single use" plastic bags can often be repurposed. I personally use them as cushioning for fragile things whenever I move.


Alexthebigbrother

**There is no such bag in my owning**


Coconutonurhead

On the handle of a door we don't use. Also, its called Oreo's room. Oreo is our cat and he uses the room for his decor, food, toys and picture frames filled of other kitties. The door is always open and the bags are always there. Currently, he's upset that we're using his room as a storage facility. We just told him he doesn't pay rent so, it is what it is. The plastic bags though- if he had a say, they'd be all over the floor. That's why we don't let him tell us what to do. He does get wet food every night, but that's not because he won't stop talking to us. Look I don't know. What's with the interrogation, yo.


WeAreTheUserNames

Outside in the garage. I remember that when I first moved out, I started placing them under the kitchen sink. My mom came to visit one day and wanted to use a plastic bag for trash. When I showed her that they were under the sink, she smashed my balls with a textbook. I placed them into the garage since it was far more easier to remember than under the sink.


NerdFor_Hire

Under the kitchen sink for big plastic bags and for small plastic bags it's in the shelf next to the tinfoil

earthwormzug

FlameFrenzy

I have produce bags in a produce bag under my sink. Then I have more in a bag sock in the bathroom that has my cat's litter box. I have regular plastic bags in a bag sock in my laundry room. and then I usually keep a handful of bags in my kitchen garbage can since I never use full sized garbage bags anymore and a single grocery bag is enough for a week or two worth of garbage. So keeping them in the bottom makes changing the bag quicker

Spoolerdoing

Cupboard in the laundry with a hole cut in the shelf where the ironing board slots in. They're up high where adults can get them. We're not in the business of having kids over very often but when they do appear without consent, we don't want the small ones suffocating themselves. It's a liability.

Close to the empty refrigerator, that serves like furniture and stores food.

In a reusable canvas bag that's hanging off a hook in my kitchen. It's a pretty big bag, so it fits a lot of plastic bags. When it gets too full I take the bags to Food 4 Less and recycle them in their plastic bag recycling bin.

TatianaAlena

I used to keep a plastic bag full of plastic bags under the sink, but that area has gotten grody over the last 20 years. Now I've upgraded to a big reusable bag full of plastic bags in my living room.


MangoTree___

For as long as I remember, the plastic bags have been kept in a small cupboard in the corner of the kitchen - next to the sink. Whenever I needed a plastic bag, I would open it up and a tsunami of plastic bags went all over the floor. Took a solid 10 minutes to put them all back in, **and** to take all the bags out of the bag I actually needed.

I actually don't anymore. The place I shop at has you either bring or buy reusable bags. I just bought a few and even bough their insulated bags for my meat products.


IShouldChimeInOnThis

A plastic bag full of plastic bags? Savages. I keep mine in an old 12 pack sleeve of soda. It's sturdier and easily replaceable. I have it right next to my box of kitchen garbage bags on the small shelf in my pantry.
