Do you like to keep your paper bags from shopping malls?

Every time we shop, or buy clothes from the mall, we will be given a paper bag to place the clothes or shoes we buy from the mall.
Sometimes the paper bags used to place the clothes we buy are of good shape and color. So it's a shame to throw it away. but if everything is stored, it could make our warehouse full of goods plus paper bags from the mall.
Do you always keep the paper bags you get from the mall when you shop for clothes or shoes? or you just throw it away.

I also keep them since they look good, I use them again when I go to the supermarket instead of buying a new one. I only throw it away if it tears, or gets worn out.

@Hildasalom Yes, I totally agree with you. It's a shame to just throw it away.

Yes, for other uses like trash bags. Some stores like Walmart, gas a place to donate your unneeded bags for others to use.

I do keep paper bags to put trash in so that I won't waste clean paper bags and stuff like that.

Okay. Of course, if you store too many paper bags, you will also create new trash where your belongings are stored. If you already have a lot of cloth bags, it's better to just throw away the paper bags.
But if I usually give to neighbors in need. Because if the paper bag is good and strong, I feel like I just throw it away. I think there must be someone who needs it.

If they look good and are made of a good quality material that'll last some time, I keep them. I call them "ostentatious bags" for some reason
