98. put one in your bag to hold wet clothes/waterproofs when you're walking.
99. Keep one in your hiking sack to put dirty muddy, wet shoes in when you're camping.
100. keep balls of cotton wool in.
101. Put the crusts of bread in one in the freezer to keep to make bread pudding with

yeay! i got to 101!! Took a bit of brainpower mind you...

Well that was quick!!! Bravo everyone!

OK next subject......

No! It was so quick that there must be more!!!

As freezer bags, they are brilliant, but keep out freezer burn best if you double bag the goods to be frozen (we use them for our homekill chooks and rabbits, and they are fine up to 6 months later - but we usually eat the meat long before that).

Well this is an actually tried and tested use that was frequently seen on the rivers in my younger canoeing days.
In winter cut the bottom open, and slit up the sides a cuple of inches, put paddle through, gaffa tape the bottom of the bag back up and you have a pair of very serviceable paddle mits.
They work pretty well believe me.

Wasn't this the first "101" we ever had?

I haven't had a turn yet!

They make ideal little coats for poorly lambs or kids!

Cut out a hole for the head and holes for the legs and slip them on the lamb or kids, keeps them dry so they don't get cold!!

Make sure you change it every so often, cos they can sweat and they go mouldy!

Nuffin' worse than mouldy lambs!!

I think the last two win the prize for the most original use of a bread bag!

Yes I think so, but we are resurrecting ones to try to actually get to 101!!! See Andy's thread which I think is a sticky at the top of this section.

Must have missed that... But I think we had the one for the lambs' coats before - I remember somebody saying they called the lambs the names on the jackets: Warburton, Mother's Pride, Value... Can't be bothered to go through it all again now, though.

dont know if this one has been said but cut into strips and plait together; like you would for a rag rug. make resulting plaits into bowls, baskets etc.

I have a new one!!

When clipping your toenails and fingernails, stick your hand/foot in a bread bag to stop nail clippings from flying all over the place. When finished, simply tip them from the bread bag into the bin...or compost!

I'm off to do so now!!!

That's brilliant but I bet I can't persuade my husband to do that.

They're also useful for putting smelly rubbish in. You can tie it up, and seal the smells in, so you won't have to discard the bin bag as often if it isn't full up!
