[quote=Anonymous]We have tons.  We have gotten bags from so many festivals and conventions, street fairs, etc.  We probably have like 30.  We've also bought a few large ones on travel.

I keep 5 in the trunk of the car for the weekly shopping trip.  When we come home, we unload them, I fold them up and put them on a shelf next to the garage door.  The next time I go out to the car, I take them and dump them back in the trunk.

We have a ton that we keep in regular use.  One is the "medical bag" which has notebooks, papers, medical test results, a crossword puzzle book for waiting rooms, etc.  One is the travel bag and has things we only use on car trips.  One is a kids grab and go bag (preschooler twins) that has an extra change of clothes for the kids, and a couple of small things that can keep them occupied (aquadoodles, magnetic sketch pads, dollar store sticker books and stickers).  If we need to run out in a hurry, we toss that in the car to make sure that if the kids get antsy we can keep them occupied.  One has the swim clothes for swim lessons for the weekend.  After we wash the swim clothes, we pack it up and its ready to go agin when we leave.  I work an evening job once night a week.  I have a bag for that job and anything I need for the job, I toss in the bag so it is ready to go.  Since I am normally in a rush that night, picking up the kids from preschool, taking them home, getting them ready for dinner that my wife makes (she WAH and ends her work day 30 minutes before we get home) and then grabbing stuff to go, I would forget things if I didn't have them ready to go.  We probably have a dozen or so bags that are always filled and ready to go, or can be packed quickly to go.  We also have a ton for when we do something we don't do regularly, like go to the zoo, we grab a bag and toss the insulated lunch cooler and water bottles for the kids.  We have a hard enough time getting the kids out the door, prepacking bags and having some ready to go for regular events helps a lot.

After all those, the leftovers, we have a plastic tub that we keep on the top shelf of the coat closet by the garage door (in an alcove between the garage door and kitchen).  We toss the rest in there.[/quote]
