Getting There... 2 months ago

Ok, so I have them in the car now instead of the cupboard. So at least they are at hand now when I go to the shops, instead of buying dispoable plastic ones. I’m not 100% on this yet but I am getting there :)

Especially once you start keeping your cloth grocery bags in your car to ensure they make it to the grocery store with you.

well, starting June 1st, we have to pay 5 cents per bag and I just HATE it. Guess it will force me not to forget the cloth bags next time I’m shopping. I’m going to put one in my hand bag.

Its a goal now for me... 8 months ago

I am doing it every day and I like taking my new jute tote everywhere….even when sometimes it is in total contrast with my dress..
Like pink and a green bag!! he he
But I do it anyways..
One problem:
Cant leave polybags completely coz they are the only way I can throw my garbage..since the place where I have to go and throw it is a bit far..and carrying it in polybags makes it easier.
Guess then I will fix a day and time to throw it from the can itself..

I've been meaning 9 months ago

to buy one at the grocery store, for god sake they’re only $1, hopefully next time I’m reimbursed I can make a habit of this.



Adrienne will be absent while taking strides for goal #1.

Finally! 9 months ago

I’ve been trying to get the grocery shopper in the household to use these for ages. They finally went on sale, so he bought enough. He used them this past weekend and said they worked wonderfully. I’m very happy about this.
