I don't know if you have the same problem, for me those plastic grocery bags particularly the large pick up bags take up a lot of room. I had them in a larger bag shoved under the sink and they appeared to grow & multiply overnight. I felt it was like the David Venable spot when he opens the cupboards and lock & locks tumble out.

At our King Soooers (Kroger) we have 3lb bags of fruit, bags are sturdy , nice art work and zip closures.  Bags are staying put in there , not flying around and take up much less space. Free too & recycling I suppose.  (ps still having trouble with inserting pic sorry about that).

@rockygems123   I live in the land of Publix on every corner, and they offer huge outdoor recepticals for recycling plastic bags (can be from anywhere), bottles, or clean styrofoam,    Even when I'm headed into a store near Publix, I recycle whatever has accumulated.   And then bring home more!

I take my excess bags to my city library where the patrons can carry all the books they checkout.  These are the store's bags not bags that products come in.

@rockygems123, good solution, but I recommend one of these. They come in lots of colors, prints, & sizes. You could always make one...

That is a great idea, we will check with local sources as to need for the bags.  That was part of my dilemma, keeping only what we currently need and minimize their little footprint lol but also didn't want to just add the excess to recycle bin.

We keep a small kitchen trash can bag in the pantry for grocery bags and return to the grocery store when it's full.

@rockygems123 : Purchased this years ago from Bed Bath and Beyond with a coupon. It holds a lot of bags:

My grocery bags are quite a jumble, too. I use them as garbage bags and excess goes to my sister for picking up after her dog and feral cats. She goes out every morning and cleans up the neighbors' yards of cat p o o p. She goes thru a lot of bags. They say store bags are single use, but not so. No more than regular garbage bags, IMO.

I use mine for cat litter so I just keep them in a bag. Mine don't go to waste.
