Have you ever thought about reusing cereal bags?

I'm talking about the kind inside a cereal box.

Bags are great for reusing for repurposing for other tasks around the house.

Tips for cleaning the bags:

Bags, not the kind inside of an Aldi box cereal, but the kind that is super thick can actually be washed in the washing machine.

1.  Turn the bag inside out. (This is important to get all the cereal crumbs out)

2.  Wash on cold, you can wash them with other things like towels.

3.  Air dry.

4.  Turn them right side out and store.

What you can use them for:

Travel

Leftovers

Shoe bags

Children's art work storage

Knick knacks in the pantry

Use them for packing and moving

So what about you?  Do you reuse the cereal bags?
