   More ideas:

   Reuse them as bathroom trash can liners until they fall apart.

   A plastic bag, with slits cut down both sides, make an excellent thing to juggle. A professional jugger told me this. They’re lightweight and won’t hurt you if they land on your head, but they’re easy to grab.

   In a pinch you can use one as a cloth diaper cover.

   Barf bag for the car.

   Trash bags for the car.

   Inexpensive lunch bag.

   Etc.
