Free Space Savers

I know: plastic bags are bad.
"Introduced just over 25 years ago, the ugly truth about our plastic bag addiction is that society's consumption rate is now estimated at well over 500 billion plastic bags annually, or almost 1 million per minute." (http://www.reusablebags.com/facts.php?id=4)

But sometimes you just don't have your own alternative to the plastic bag. Plastic bags can be reused in many ways.
While you're looking for the next way to reuse one, those crinkly little rascals tend to build up at home taking up precious kitchen space!

Free up space once occupied by plastic bags by saving your paper towel roles.
Stuff the inside of the paper towel role with your extra plastic bags.

Love it, Beth....I hate when those pesky plastic bags accumulate in my closet/under the sink and this handy little invention just nips my peeve in the bud.
