Great tips! I reuse bread bags too, sometimes for cat litter junk, or even when I want to put a cover on a plate or bowl and put it in the fridge.
I've heard rumors that the ink used on bread bags can contain carcinogens. Frankly, I reuse mine. The other option is to buy good quality washable bread bags (I have produce bags, there must be some for bread) and then bake your own! In the breadmaker, of course. It's easy.
Thanks Kathleen! Those are great ways to reuse them. I just fold mine up, stick them in the drawer, and wait for a good way to reuse them!
I hadn’t heard that Daisy. Thanks for sharing. The bread I buy comes from a local bakery with no ink on the bag. They use a small recycled paper card for all their info. I haven’t used my bread maker in years, never had the time. Now that I am unemployed though I probably have the time ;-)
