Kitchen and wastepaper bin liners
Protect your table when doing art and craft projects. Cut the bags up so you can lay them flat.
Shoe covers for wet/muddy places - put your whole foot, shoe and all, into the bag and tie the handles around your leg snugly.
Variation of the above - if you need to put on wet shoes or boots, put a plastic bag over the driest layer (socks or foot) to keep your feet dry.
Donate them to your local library so they can give out to patrons to carry their borrowed books / movies / CDs in (still checking up on whether Sg libraries will accept)
Donate them to your local thrift store eg. Cash Converters
