Being a girl it is a necessity that I carry around a HUMUNGULOID bag wherever I may go, for without one I may perish. So refusing plastic bags from shops has never really been an issue unless I fail to fit the gazillion amounts of crap that I buy into my satchel. However, food shopping was a different story. I did convert to big tote bags and those bags for life jobbies that tear as soon as they contain anything with edges, but I have now gone one step better! I realised that why go all the way to the shops when I could just get my necessities delivered straight to my door!? Hurrah I hear you cry! Unfortunately the first time I got my shopping delivered it arrived in bags… in boxes. Hmmm. Doesn’t make much sense to me, but that’s how they came. Now I opt out for the bags and the lovely man/lady that delivers my food helps me carry it up the stairs and ALL THE WAY into the kitchen and even helps me unload. Now that’s service ladies and gents, and I always get a smile.
