The store is only equal to about 2-2.5 blocks away, but it was hard to carry milk jugs and bags full of food the short distance (and I refuse to drive there like my husband does). Now most of the checkout clerks know not to put stuff in the plastic bag, 'cause I brought my own tote. I also am the local crazy lady who pulls the all-terrain kiddy wagon through the crocery store giving rides to both my girls and our food (it only took one walk carrying a suddenly tired toddler and two gallons of milk to get me over any embarrassment I might have felt).indywriterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14108023297967433564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32686050.post-83006255205335900072007-10-01T08:26:00.000-05:002007-10-01T08:26:00.000-05:00Here's a really simple way to make a reusable bag:...Here's a really simple way to make a reusable bag:<BR/><BR/>http://noimpactman.typepad.com/blog/2007/08/the-ultra-cool-.html<BR/><BR/>Im lucky in that in addition to reducing our initial use of plastic, I know where I can take old bags to be reused (a wholefood shop and several charity shops) as well as many supermarkets having a recycling bin for them. It might be worth asking in similar places near you if they would like them your old ones.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32686050.post-7315183024428680042007-09-30T20:13:00.000-05:002007-09-30T20:13:00.000-05:00We love the fabric bags sold at Whole Foods Market...We love the fabric bags sold at Whole Foods Markets. They are only a few bucks and have good flat bottoms and very sturdy handles. <BR/><BR/>We also reuse plastic bags in a variety of ways. In fact, we just posted about using them in the car on Family Hack.<BR/><BR/>Best,<BR/>Michael<BR/>http://www.familyhack.comMichael Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04823046375557280457noreply@blogger.com
