| Seemingly a dumb question but, what do you all do with your empty feed sacks, other than just toss them out? You all usually come up with ideas I’d never think of, so before tossing the pile I have now, I figured I’d start here. |

| Thanks everyone! I usually just toss them or use them as trash bags, as I like to keep everything neat, but since we had someone else feeding for us while we were gone for the holidays, there is a larger than normal stack of them. The tote bag idea intrigues me though |

My friend made one for me!! They are super cute. She put rope handles on it and lined the inside of the bag. It will be my "boot" bag for bells, wraps, etc. |

| I think it depends on what type of bag you are talking - mine are paper, so other than using them for trash or burning them, they aren't much good. A friend of mine gave me one of the more sturdier ones she had made with handles sewn on and I use that ALL the time to tote stuff around. |

Location: TN | We put trash in them sometimes. We burn them when we get enough of a pile. I hate seeing them pile up, but they've got to go somewhere I guess. |
