Did You Know About Target's Five Cent Discount for Reusable Bags?

Did you know about Target's five cent discount for reusable bags?

The last time I shopped at Target, I remembered to take in my reusable bags. And when I checked out, I got five cents off for every bag that I used! I had not had that before, at least I hadn't noticed. Once when we visited in the Boston area, I got a discount for using reusable bags but hadn't had it happen down here. It may only be five cents, but it's a good idea. And when you load up seven bags of groceries, that an 35 cent savings!

Did You Know Whole Foods Market Will Discontinue Plastic Bags?

Did you know Whole Foods Market will discontinue plastic bags?

We were able to get to a Whole Foods Market yesterday and saw the sign announcing this plan. I have noticed many stores selling re-usable bags recently. I like this trend and think it's a good idea. I've even started buying a few of those bags to use. But Whole Foods is the first store committed to becoming plastic bag free. By April 22, 2008-Earth Day-Whole Foods will discontinue the use of the plastic bags.
