I'm sure we all need ideas for what we can use all these empty bags for.

If you use your empty bags let the rest of us know how you use them.

Here are a few ideas I came up with;

Small trash can liners

Cut three holes in them and they would make great rain coats for midgets

Sew handles on them and make shopping bags out of them

Boot lines for when its wet outside

Fill them with Helium tie a string to them put a cardboard middle finger on the string and float them over Saudi Arabia

Find a way to liquefy them and sell the oil to our neighbors when oil goes back up. Use the money to buy more pellets

Put them in a time capsule and bury with a message that says do not open until 3000 (oh ya that’s what happens when we throw them away)

Make a kite with them

Collect them and trade them with your neighbors, try to get a complete set like baseball cards

Use them for underlayment on your roof

Save them for when you get old and can't hold your water, save money on depends

Use them for freezer bags for large items like Turkeys

Any other ideas out there?
 
Cut hole in one side and use them for rain coats for large dogs 40 LB bags, 20 LB for smaller dogs.

Or if I had dreadlocks I could use them as a hat (not sure if I spelled that right)
 
I posted them on craigslist last spring, and one person wanted about 50 of them for gardening, and the other one wanted all I had for storing his firewood in..
probably kindling.
 
We could fill them with ash and return them to the maine wood pellet company (Athens, Maine) so they could see how their "Premium" pellets perform.
 
I use them as trash bags, much stronger than anything your gonna buy in a store..

Yup, H-A-T, hat, that's how we always spelled it. But, guess ya never know these days.
 
Ship them all down south so when the next big storm comes in they can make sand bags.

> kids could use them as sleds in winter or even double bag them (holds up better than cardboard I had to use - too poor for trash can lids)

> stuff them with dryer lent & sock fuzz for dorm room furniture (beer wipes right off)

> take them on the deer hunt - "bag a deer"

> lay on them while working under the car
 
I put a bunch in the recycle bin this morning, I am anxious to see if they will take them. They should, I think they are a #4 plastic.
 
I'm gonna use the one sitting next to me as a barf bag after reading this thread.
