How do you store your storage baggies?

[campn4walleye]

I am trying to be more efficient with space in the TC. How do you folks store your different sizes of storage bags? I have been taking a few of each and putting them in a larger bag, but they end up in a jumble. It's annoying.

Any space saving ideas to keep them together, but separate?

I was just doing a search for storage ideas for Truck campers and saw something that made me think of Pringle cans...Would that work?? You might could even cut them down shorter for different sizes or roll them up inside each other and use only one or two cans..

Check out this site.

THANK YOU! That's exactly the answer I'm looking for. We have such limited space, I hate to waste any. I'll separate the baggies and keep them in a Pringles can. I'll add the site to my favs.

Thank you smart people!

Or get a full cardboard wine box, then you just won't care about the jumbled bags. :B

I find it hard to understand the OP's question and some of these answers. When you take the baggies out of their small boxes and put them into a larger container - milk jug, cloth bath, etc., you are taking up just as much room or more, than their original container.

Just leave them in the original container so you know which size to grab. Easy!

If you're bringing multiple sizes of Ziploc-style bags and don't have the space for the boxes, don't mix sizes of bags into a single larger one.

Use a single larger one for each of your sizes and clearly label it. Barely takes up more room and makes it so much easier to see which one(s) need restocking at the end of a weekend.

Did this for tent camping. For our TT we have enough cabinet space that boxes in there are better than having that same space for heavier cargo! 😉

Same here except we store in a bottom cupboard with the Tupperware, foil and plastic wrap.

We store our plastic grocery bags in a bag like this. I made ours by cutting a leg off an old pair of jeans of my son. We hang it from a command strip hook near our door. Makes it very easy to grab a bag for trash or when walking the dog.

x2 for the small WM bags. Think they sell them for ~$2 -- cheaper than you can make one yourself (obviously disregarding the personal satisfaction of the making).

We keep the larger plastic bags in the bottom of the trash cans they fit (DW has 3 different sizes...)

We leave food storage bags in the boxes they come in. Too much of a pib to have all those bags scattering themselves all over like rabbits run amok in a field of clover.

Where do you store your stored storage bags and then where do you store those stored storage bags. Ect, ect.

I use a box that all of my paper products fit in. The box sits on a shelf in the extra closet in the bunk room. All of the paper products stand up in the box so I can tell what they are.
I used a shelf in the linen closet to start with but as I added "necessary" things to it I ran out of room for towels.

All rolled together with a twist tie around the bunch, maybe an inch or so in diameter.

A cube type nose tissue box holds many crushed plastic grocery bags. I use the larger size for plastic grocery bags at home, but the cube style in my motorhome.
