Ideas on what to do with long, narrow plastic bags (newspaper bags)?

My spouse just discontinued working for the newspaper (delivery driver), and has a surplus of the clear plastic bags that they use to bag the papers with. Theyre 22 inches long and 9 inches wide, so they are too narrow to fit in any wastebasket.

He had to pay his own money to get them, so I dont just want to only use them for litter box poop scoop bags, we have so many!

Any ideas?

(Also, any creative ideas what to do with extra newspaper? I hate to add to the landfills but you can only add so much newspaper into worm compost bins).

    when I was a painter, I loved them things. I would put my rollers in them to prevent me from cleaning them while I went to lunch, or took a break. they're perfect for painters!! lol brushes too!!
