Empty loaf bags, what do you use yours for?

For some reason I have started folding and saving my empty loaf bags, don't know why as I haven't done it before.
I just emptied the crumbs out of one the other week, folded it and put it away and have been doing it with the last few since.
:rolleyes:
Now, do I need to throw these away or can someone please come to my rescue and tell me that I am not going mad and give me some ideas what I can use them for other than storing homemade bread in.

I've only ever seen people use them to take their packed lunches in - is a good question!
if they're biodegradable then you might be able to use them to line a compost caddy?Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants - Michael Pollan

My OH uses them as sandwich bags.Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it!'0

I use them instead of clingfilm. Put half onions, turnip, celery etc. saves them drying out. Then you could throw them away knowing they've been reused at least once.GC - Oct £36.17/£31

I reuse bread bags for freezing home made cakes. I store the empty bags in the fridge or freezer till I need them so that any stray breadcrumbs that may have been left behind don't go mouldy. Glad I'm not the only one who can't bear to throw these away!0

We have an open fire so I keep all these sort of bags - i.e loaf, banana and the paper bags fruit and veg comes in from market stalls. I keep one by the sink and any burnable rubbish goes in it and at the end of the day I put it on the fire.0

With the normal sliced loaf bags my mum has always just used them as a sandwich bag once you get through the loaf. I do if I remember, but I have a terrible habit of forgetting to toast the crusts, then realising they've gone mouldy- so don't want to reuse a mouldy bread bag!
Paper bags always just go in the recycling, the bags from supermarket bakery products just end up straight in the bin as they rip apart.A waist is a terrible thing to mind.0 -
I use them as sandwich bags, freezer bags, as a cover for leftover food that goes in the fridge-if it's on a plate you can put the whole thing in the bag and it doesn't dry out.! I'm a bit obsessive about re-using things, I save marg tubs too for sandwhich boxes and storing food in the freezer - ideal for individual portions:DOfficial DFW nerd - 282 'Proud To Be Dealing With My Debts'

maybe use them once for taking sarnies to work in, but then chuck them!! I am cleaning my grandma's house whilst she is in hospital ad she has hoarded loads of the bl00dy things.... its a bit depressing!0
