Bag Order

Mary

I live in a state (Colorado) that still allows plastic bags at the grocery store. Which is a good thing, because I use them. I don’t always get the plastic bags….I have a trunk full of reusable grocery bags that are my “regulars,” but when I need some plastic bags, I get some plastic bags.

I once saw a neatly organized “box of bags” and I’ve wondered for about a year how it was done. Well, I did the research (meaning, I googled it and endured an annoying long You Tube how-to video), and now I present my findings in photo form….no annoying video. (And hey, is it just me who has no patience for those videos?)

How to turn this unruly pile of plastic bags into….(oh, and notice the cutie pup-with-ball-in-mouth audience…)
this appealing basket of folded ones!
Place bag out making sure seams on side are folded. Also, as my niece Lissa has taught me, make sure the bag is completely DRY…and check to make sure there are NO HOLES.
Fold the bag all the way to the right once, and then again all the way to the right again so it looks like the above
Starting from the bottom, fold up in triangles, as if it was a flag.
When you get to the top, stuff the top part into the fold of the bottom part
And, voila, you have a perfectly secured, folded triangle bag.
If this wasn’t thorough enough for you, go ahead and watch an annoying 4 minute You Tube Video.
If it was….
You are welcome.
