Shopping Bags

Here's the latest news that I forgot about in my last entry. I no longer use plastic bags when I go to the grocery store. I bet I have a bazillion of them in my closet (let me know if you need some) and I am sick and tired of bringing home 10 more everytime I go to the store. SO... I now take my own reusable shopping bags that I have accumulated from Wal-Mart, Kroger, here and there! Not only am I cutting down on all those stinking bags that I can never seem to use up, BUT I am going green! You also get a 3 cent discount per bag at Kroger so I figure by the end of the year it would pay for itself.
Here's a few laughs about my shopping bags..... I took them to Greenbrier to the "Stupidcenter" to get a few things. When I handed them to the cashier she looked at me and the bags like I had lost my ever loving mind or handed her a foreign object. I just smiled and politely told her to put my groceries in there instead of using a plastic bag. The other laugh was at Wal-Mart one day. I have an insulated bag that I absolutely love and the cashier was making a big deal over it... "oh this is so nice, it will be great for the ride home, blah, blah, blah" so she rings me up, bags my groceries, and sends me on my way. When I get out to my car I am pretty sure I laughed out loud in the middle of the parking lot 'cause she has put my bread and cereal in my "insulated" bag. Boy, am I glad she made sure my bread didn't get hot on the way home! :) Anyway, not only am I doing my part in helping the environment, but I get a good laugh ever once in awhile as well!
