Did You Know About My Reusable Shopping Bags?

Did you know about my reusable shopping bags?

I am happy to use less plastic by taking my own shopping bags to the store. I've got several tote bags/book bags, but they really did not work so well for shopping. Our local stores began selling some reusable shopping bags. I did buy a few of these, but knew I would need many more for my weekly (or ten days) shopping trips.

My friend Forever Flamingo bought herself some sturdy reusable grocery bags and wrote about them on her blog . I decided to check them out for myself. I found them online and purchased the grocery set , four sturdy bags and four produce bags.

I must say that I love them! They are large and hold a lot, they are sturdy and the produce bags work well too. I am still not completely in the habit of taking my own bags in with me. If I am going on my grocery shopping trip, I usually remember, but if I am out and decide to stop and pick up a few things, I don't always remember. But I'm getting there. There have been a few times where I or my kids have gone back out to the car for the bags. I think it really is worth it.
