We have always recycled our plastic grocery bags, but when you count how many a family of only 3 uses (counting double bagging for cans, milk, etc) it is ridiculous. I felt guilty every time we went shopping. Then add in trips to Target....uuggghh. I could wrap my house in plastic bags from a month's worth of shopping.
So, over the weekend we bought as many 'green' bags as we thought we'd need for a large grocery shopping trip. I ran back to the store twice, yes twice, for things I kept forgetting on my Super Bowl party list. (I know, I know...I wasn't using my SmartShopper organizer obviously.) It felt good walking in with my trusty reusable bag. Oh and SCORE on the fact that our grocery store gives you a discount for each bag every time you use it. Yeah, it's just a small amount, but paying me to go green? Why, that's just too kind of them. It's the least I could do for our planet.
I'll be looking for more ways to help become more green. We've already switched a lot of our light bulbs to compact florescents, put in low flow shower heads, replaced 1 of 3 toilets to low flow ones and will be changing out the other two toilets later.
Alright, it's late and I'm super tired from our little get together we had tonight so the discount list may be a little short, but no worries, I'll be back with more. Oh and the food is at the bottom of the list, too....

I am green!!! I not only have the bags from various stores...I make them too!!!

I love me a give-away.....bags or otherwise :) Do it! Do it!

Congrats on going green! We are forced to use our own bags here, or pay per bag that we need. I wil lbe packing the French bags in my container when it is time to come back. I LOVE the idea of reusable bags, and that your store pays you! Awesome!
I love the Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Soup/Chili recipe. It uses ingredients I usually have on hand so I just threw a batch together for dinner tonight. Thanks a bunch!
My vote is always yes for a give-away. Everyone loves a prize.
Thanks,
Jody H.
♥ That cheeseburger meatloaf sounds really good. I think I'm going to give that I try! The chicken taco soup sounds great also! :)
Yes! A giveaway for green bags is perfect! They can be used for so much more. They hold sooo much!!
Sounds wonderful to me!
I've also thought about making big bags from the plastic grocery bags. You can cut them into strips and knit them together. You can make bigger bags and it reinforces them.
yes yes yes a giveaway bag woul dbe fantastic especially because NYC will now start charging for plastic bags! On the bright side it will force others to be become green ;)
FYI: Sorry to hear of about your friend Carrie. She will be in my prayers.
sale! sale! :)
