Bags, sacks, and pokes

Do you ever forget to take your reusable grocery bag with you to the store?  Many of us do.  Then you have either those plastic or paper bags in the house - what do you do with yours? 
Here are are a couple things to do with the bags  - please comment and add your ideas.

• use the plastic bags as liners in small wastebaskets.
• recycle them at drop-offs, usually at entrances of bigger chain stores.
• give them to the local food pantry to re-use.
• use the paper bags as wrapping paper.
• use the paper bag on top of a landscape area or in your garden where you don't want weeds to grow.  They will eventually degrade into the soil.
