At last count, we have about 15 of those “sexy” new reusable grocery bags that replace plastic. These things are tough and you can put a gazillion pounds of stuff in them. (They’re good for beer and ice too, if you need to be discreet) I'm not a "tree hugger", but these reusable bags make damn good sense.
The plastic bags are awful and for us, were a pain in the ass. We had a massive collection of them under the sink, taking up a ton of room. The only thing I ever used the plastic bags for, was picking up dog poo and even with 2 very large dogs, we still had hundreds of the damn plastic bags kicking around. Every now and then, we had to cull the herd and throw out a plastic bag full of…plastic bags. It always felt crappy to do that. (throw them in the garbage...and use them for dog poo)
I just wish I could actually remember to take the reusable bags to the store when I go. Inevitably, I feel guilty when I forget….so I buy another one. Which is why I am getting quite the collection. Some are gleaming and are so unused, that they have the “new car smell”.
I was keeping a few in my Jeep, but they made “crinkly noises” that bugged me when I was driving, so I took them out. I hate “crinkly noises”. These superbags are great for the environment. I am surprised it took this long….but glad that it’s caught on.
If I could just remember to take the darn things with me.
