It happens - you make an unexpected grocery store run and end up using grocery bags to bring your goods home. Take the challenge and find some good use for your plastic or paper bags.

Here are a few ideas:

1. Reusing plastic grocery bags:

- Use them for trash when you’re at home

2. Paper grocery bags:

- Use them to hold recyclables, if you don’t have a recycling can

- Use them for postal packaging; double them up, remove the handles and use them to ship items
