If you are like most people, you have a pantry filled with plastic sacks left over from shopping and grocery trips. These sacks tend to build up quickly and before you know it, they have taken over your entire pantry, leaving you little room for food or storage. What most people fail to realize is these sacks come in handy for thousands of other uses around the home. The simplest way to cut down on the number you have stored up is to reuse them for shopping. If you have a few cloth reusable bags, pair them with the store bags you have collected and you will probably be able to make a shopping trip without bringing any new sacks into the house. Even if there are not enough, you are likely to receive one or two new ones at the most. Once the plastic sacks have worn out, toss them and use a few others from your collection. Though they eventually end up in the trash, your garbage output is much less over time if you use the bags several times before tossing.

Though children might want to pack their lunches in metal or plastic boxes featuring their favorite cartoon characters, adults can use plastic sacks to carry lunch. This is especially useful if you are used to buying lunch, but you are running short on cash one day or you just want to grab leftovers from home. You might have no need to invest in an expensive lunch tote if a meal from home is a rarity. The plastic sack is a great way to toss in a few containers of leftovers and head out the door in a hurry.

The plastic sacks left over from shopping trips are fantastic for cleaning up behind pets. Whether you need to carry along a receptacle for messes when walking your dog or you need somewhere to toss used kitty litter at the end of the day, the plastic sacks are ideal. They are capable of handling a little bit of wetness without leaking and they form a barrier between hands and mess. The next time you are tending to pet duties, grab a plastic sack to make your job easier.

The sacks are usually just the right size for the small trash cans throughout your home. Though your kitchen might have a full-size, large trash can, your bathroom, office or bedroom may be the location of just a small one. The plastic sacks you get from shopping are perfect for slipping in the can to protect the can from messy garbage. When the time comes to take out the trash, you simple grab the sack and go. They really make clean up easier.

Finally, the sacks really come in handy outside in the garden. When you are weeding, you can toss the weeds into the sack and then dump them with the rest of the yard waste. The sacks can be used several times to haul weeds and yard waste that needs to be dumped before they wear out. The sacks also work great for bringing in your harvest from the garden. Pack the sacks full of tomatoes, onions, potatoes and carrots and lug them indoors for washing and cooking.

The focal point of every dining room has to be the dining table. Without its presence, the dining room is essentially just a game – think musical chairs: a bunch of chairs in a circle, with nothing in the middle. If that was the case, then quick! Grab a chair or you’ll be left to eat while standing. Starting to see why dining tables make such an impact in our daily lives? Let’s face it, without them we wouldnt be able to have a nice family dinner, or entertain guests at a house party.

Luckily, dining tables are available at just about any furniture store or online furniture retailer. They also come in a variety of finishes, materials and features; therefore the amount of possibilities available to you is limitless. However, with this many options, deciding on which table to get can get confusing. So here is a small list of things to cover when shopping for a dining table.

The Type of Dining Table:

Believe it or not, furniture manufacturers actually offer different types of dining tables. But how does one differ from another when they all seem to be more or less the same; four legs holding up a flat table top. Thankfully, there are ways to differentiate one style of table to the next.

First, the Accent Table. These are standard dining tables, however very ornately designed to provide a sense of classic romance. The type you might imagine inside the palaces or mansions of your favorite storybook.

The Breakfast Bar is another type of dining table. These are usually smaller in size than standard dining tables; however, some have very interesting features that make them unique in their own right. For example, it is not uncommon to see breakfast bars with locking casters for added mobility and convenience. Some will also have cubbies and racks for added storage.

The Cocktail Table (otherwise known as a Coffee Table) can also be considered a type of dining table. However, many of us choose not to eat many meals on these, rather use them in front of the sofas and couches to place our drinks. But for those of us who enjoy eating dinner in front of the TV (myself included), then yes, a Cocktail table could be considered the prefect dining table.

The types of formal dining tables can vary by style and the amount of people who can be seated. Most can seat more than your standard Breakfast Bar. In fact, formal dining tables tend to seat anywhere from four to eight people. Also available are the long dining tables that seat many people. If you ever watch a movie about ancient times of kings and queens, you might notice them. These types of dining tables are called “Refectory Tables”. If you’re ever in need of a table that can seat an extreme number of guests, then this is the one for you, but make sure you have enough room for it.

That brings us to our next point when shopping for dining tables. Always make sure you have the space in your dining room. You never want to be stuck with a table that takes up so much room, that it doesnt leave room for dining chairs.

There is still a lot more to know about the dining table. However if you want to get the skinny, then you’ll have to wait for ‘A Closer Look at Dining Tables, pt. 2’. For now though, I hope this article has given you a better idea as to why Dining Tables are such an important piece in our daily lives.
