101 uses for a bread bag

[shiney]

Is that on top of the slugs you've just collected? YEUK!!!

Two smart ideas though Ina.

Ergh - no. Use for fruit and veg first, and when too dirty to take to the shops again, use for slugs...

Fashion into masks, using baling twine, as a precaution against bird flu.

Put on children's feet under shoes, when shoes have holes in them. Mock not .. ask my kids!
(Effective but creaky)

Having just experienced (for the first time in many years) the horrible unpleasantness of a white, processed, polyester loaf of Mother's Pride 'bread' (don't make me laugh):-

97. Disposing of mass produced 'bread' in, without ever having to unwrap it.

Beats me - but there seem to be people who like that stuff. Even if the taste wasn't so - ergh, non-existing is probably the right word - knowing what's in it, and how it's made would be enough to put me off.

How about this!! Looks very usable once it's crocheted up too.

They do look good shirlz, not a bad idea at all.
I won,t try it with co-op plastic though, imagine carrying your shopping home and the biodegradable plastic decomposes on the way
I remember joining elastic bands together as a kid in the way described there. At least 3 of you had to play, 2 with the bands around our ankles. I can,t for the life of me remember what we called it

I think we just called it elastics but stand to be corrected. Was a fab game - you just don't see kids doing that nowadays do you? I can sense a 101 things to do with an elastic band now..... or 101 games to play in the playground while reusing/recycling things...

Good point about the co-op plastic

[Shirley]

just googled... was also called french skipping!

[Libby]

I don,t remember it called french skipping, maybe we called it elastics or something too.
You,re right though, you don,t see it played any more.

In German it was called Gummi Twist! But it doesn't seem to be known there anymore either... Another one of these "free" leisure pursuits gone.

1. Put handful of maltesers in, tie, pulverise with blunt object, untie and sprinkle crumbs onto ice cream. Thanks Jamie!

2. Use as bag to collect other bread bags ready for recycling

3. Use bread bag full of bread bags, loosely filled and then tied off, as makeshift tripod for taking timed photographs (this is a professional trick using carrier bags)

Slurp! Scrummy

That's a great one HWz - I'll try that one out.

[hedgewizard]

That's 67 so far, by my count.

68. Use for flouring meat (or mushrooms, ok?) Put a few tablespoons of seasoned flour into the bag, add the chopped meat, shake bag like buggery.

My Mum uses them for poop-a-scoop bags for when her dog craps in a bag it and bin it area.
