Steps

  1. Remove the empty plastic bag from the cereal box.
  2. Wash the bag. Turn it inside out and gently spray or wipe off the residual cereal pieces. Allow to dry standing upright on the sink over a detergent or similar bottle.
  3. Fold and put the bag away for reuse. Possible reuse ideas include:
    • Whenever you need to freeze items, these bags make suitable stand-ins.
    • Cut smaller rectangular shapes out of the bags and use as separators between frozen food, such as bacon rashers, bread slices, frozen pastry layers etc.
    • Store lettuce leaves in the bags for ready-made salads.
    • Cover cookies, biscuits, slices etc. that need to be transported to bazaars, fêtes etc.
    • Use for redistributing bulk items into smaller packaging, such as dry dog and cat food, washing powder etc. Use bulldog clips to tie down securely.

Tips

  • This works best with good quality bags. Experiment with the bags to see what works best for you.
  • It helps to cut cereal bags open with scissors to keep them neat and prevent tearing. That way you will be able to make use of them as complete bags. Torn bags can still be used as separators between frozen foods.

Things You'll Need

  • Empty cereal packet bags
  • Storage space
