going green

I am officially one of those people that takes their own bags to the grocery store. I don't know what took us so long to purchase these handy bags--they are only 99 cents, and they eliminate waste! What a no-brianer! I have two so far...one is beige, the other is right here:


I really want a green one, too. Green is my favorite color. SO, back to being GREEN, I encourage you to buy these! I am so relieved that I don't have to save up my plastic bags and then forget to take them to the recycle bin at Publix every time I go shopping! It's very freeing not to have wads of bags around the house because I never could find a place for the growing mass.

I do have one complaint...I wish the bags weren't branded because I really want to take this to Walmart. Why didn't I buy Walmart bags? The Wal-mart bags are $1.50. Gasp! Publix actually has a less expensive item. I am still recovering from the shock.

ps. This post is dedicated to my friend, Julie. The earth saver. And my (only) faithful reader. Thanks for wanting more posts, Julie!

  2. She is not your only faithful reader. I too have read every post you've made. :) It's a good way for me to keep up on a small part of what's happening in your life. I miss you girlfriend!

  3. Thank you Stacy!! I love it!! Plastic bags are such a pet peeve of mine. BTW...don't worry about brining Publix bags to Wal-Mart. I do it ALL the time and they have never said, hey, you can't spend your money here if you don't have our bag! :) Oh, and Publix has this really cool frozen food bag that zips on the top. You can put a ton of stuff in that one. My tip is to always keep your bags in your car. As soon as I empty them out I put them right at my door to take them back to the car. Also, in many places I just don't put my purchase in a bag at all and I don’t even have that big of a purse. Luv ya!!!

  4. Stacy....hi!! Shae here-- just thought I'd add to the "don't worry about who's name is on the bag" comments. I use my Grocery Outlet bags at Fred's :) No Biggie!
    And here is a cool link to a comany that makes a million different types of reuseable bags-- even freezer bags for frozen foods, and muslin bags for produce!
