You can put them in your personal.xls file, typically located in
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\XLStart"

This will is opened when you start Excel. Personals.xls is
typically not visible.

Start by recording a macro, select personal macro workbook when prompted
where to put it, start and stop the recording, press alt + f11, double click
module1 in the left project pane of personal.xls, delete the text in there
and paste in your macros, when closing excel save the personal.xls when
prompted.
To run them press alt + f8
