Today wasn’t a very exciting purge, and it’s not going to free up much space in my closet; however, I’m not sure why I was hanging onto these seven shopping bags:
It’s not as if I was going to use them as gift bags. That would just be tacky. Right?
Back when I worked full time I sometimes carried my lunch in one of the small shopping bags, but I no longer have to do that. And while in the past I’ve used such bags to tote a change of clothes to the gym, I own a perfectly good gym bag. So these bags are going into the recycling bin unless someone can give me a good reason to hang onto them.
Peace, people!

Confession time….I, too, hold on to these bags. I have a bag-o-bags next to my bag-o-giftwrapping bags. It’s silly, I know. The large ones I use to put stuff in I’m taking to Goodwill/Salvation Army. But the others? No idea why I keep them.

Exactly! They’re kind of pretty, right, but serve few purposes that I can tell.

I also hold onto those bags and have no idea why!! I sometimes use them to collect items to take to Goodwill so other than that, I cannot offer you a good reason to hold onto them.

Using them for transporting goods to goodwill seems the number one use on the minimalist page on Facebook, too.

A consensus on the web….praise be….been a while since I’ve seen that. Snz too, has a collection of assorted and similarly favored shopping bags…and her reason choruses here ….to put the giveaway stuff in. Now me, I got boxes of software dating back to the DOS era. You never now when one might need version 2.3 of that Mustang Bulletin Board System, or a back up copy of Word Star.
