I wish I had taken a before picture. Both of these shelves used to be full of crumpled plastic bags. Now all the bags are in tight t-shirt style folded squares in a leftover tissue box.

This was one of the most insane recommendation Marie Kondo made in one of her books, and I was horrified even hearing the suggestion. But now that I've tried folding all my plastic bags, the space saved is really nice. Though now I feel like a crazy person, lol.

…something about time value vs folding plastic bags doesn’t compute for me.

If I have those single use ones I usually just tie them into a knot and throw them into another bag with other knots.

Fast and takes very little space.

We usually use multiuse bags.

There's probably many better ways to deal with plastic bags.

But I felt a little better about binge-watching a bunch of anime by having something for my hands to do.

I have a few hobbies I could recommend.

The problem with this is then you have to live the kind of life where you fold your plastic bags.

This is probably legitimately useful, but my first thought was that you had stuffed a bunch of clothes in a deep fryer basket
