Helpful tip for when you cannot open apart a garbage or plastic bag with your hands.

Here is something I discovered after trying to pull apart a garbage bag so I could put a new bag in my trash basket. Well, I don't know about you but this particular bunch of bags I was really having a hard time separating  the two sides of the bag.  So, I decided to try some tape. I placed a piece of masking tape on one side of the outside of the bag of course. Make sure you leave a little above the crease so your fingers have something to hold on while you easily spread the two sides apart from each other. This worked for me on more than one occasion.  I hope it helps you as well.  :).
