Organization Hack: What's the Best Way to Stop Plastic Shopping Bags from Taking Over My Cabinet?

Hello Organization Masters and Life Hackers!


My biggest clutter problem right now is the pile of plastic grocery bags I keep under my kitchen sink (or sometimes just stuffed into another larger bag). It’s a chaotic mess that balloons out every time I open the cabinet door, and it takes up way too much space.

I need a genius, simple life hack to tame this plastic beast and make it manageable. I want a method where the bags are neatly contained and can be pulled out one by one easily for use as trash liners.


Can anyone provide their best, tried-and-true, step-by-step organizational hack?


Specifically, I need an answer to these questions:

  1. The Folding Hack: Is the classic "fold into a small triangle" method worth the time? Is there an even faster, simpler folding method that saves a ton of space?
  2. The Dispenser Hack: What common household item (like an empty oatmeal container, a tissue box, or a paper towel roll) makes the best DIY dispenser that allows for easy, single-bag removal?
  3. The Commercial Solution: For those who have invested, are those wall-mounted bag dispensers (like the IKEA one) truly worth the cost and installation hassle, or is a free DIY hack just as effective?


Please share your best tips for transforming that chaotic plastic bag mess into a neat, space-saving system! I'm ready to declutter!

Thank you for the life-changing advice!
