BTW: those durable plastic carry bags from IKEA are a bit of a lifehack for me. They are just a few USD each and they carry a lot of volume and weight. I keep a couple folded up in my vehicle and in the garage. They are great for carrying lots of groceries, firewood, and other items...such as valuable pieces of art.


Also dogs! New York banned dogs on the subway unless they fit in a bag or other container, so New Yorkers have been dressing their dogs in Ikea bags with four holes cut in the bottom.

And laundry! That is what we use them for in sweden!


A few USD?? Wow here they're 50 euro cents


There's different kinds of those bags. My favorite is a rectangular prism, has a zipper and backpack straps and sells for like $4.99. I think it may have been discontinued in my area, or it is of sporadic availability?


$0.99. Probably .9 euro or something.


Some even make backpacks out of them. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13013868




They are exactly the right size to hold a Brompton folding bike. Some people add padding and check their bikes in these as luggage!


They work well for bullion too.


...and water.
