Trash liners for the dorm room. What is the trashcan I have..? Maybe 6 gallon? I dunno, but the plastic variety streches just the right amount around the lip of the thing.
I never get paper, because I never go grocery shopping. I have a college cafeteria/mommy to do that for me.

i wish all stores in america would implement something like they do in sweden, bring your own or pay a little for some, it would hopefully encourage people to bring their own bags and help the enviroment out.
of course, nothing stops anyone doing that now of course, but it makes me seem strange if i do it here for some reason.
just a thought.

Recycle both and reuse both. We also take the ones that are in good shape to a charity for reuse. None of them go back to the store tho.

We only use paper bags and use them for the trash. We have a grocery store chain here called Aldi's that you pay to get a cart and you either bring your own bags or buy them at the counter. With the cart you get your money back when you put it back in the line. That way they don't have to have people go out in the parking lot to gather up carts.

I use them for all the above. Save some of the plastic Walmart bags for when my daughter's come and have to walk their dogs, among other things. Use the brown grocery bags cut up for outside wrapping when shipping Christmas presents. Marsh grocery and Trader Joe's have the paper bags with handles. I double them up and use them to carry almost everything. When they get old and the handles break, I've lost $0.

All of the above, but mostly trash liners and recycled.
Last fall they were popular as household footwear while I was refinishing our oak floors. Between coats of polyurethane I'd put them on over my socks then tie the handles to keep them on. No lint, no chance of denting the new finish with shoes, and they make quite the fashion statement!

I used them one year for stuffing some old clothes to make a scarecrow. I wanted to be able to unstuff the scarecrow easily so I could wear the clothes again (ya never know). Worked pretty well.
