Best Change I've Made All Year...


...Well, besides actually using the gym membership I bought 3 years ago! The best change I've made all year is bringing my own bags to the grocery store. F paper or plastic. I hated having all those bags around the house, and not having a use for them. It just made me feel bad because it's such a waste! The most I would ever do with them is put other garbage in them and then toss them out. A few months ago I decided I was going to start bringing my own bags. I've found that it makes so much more sense, they have better / longer handles so their easier to carry, they hold more than you think, and once I unload the food, I just put them in the car ready for the next use. The only thing I have to watch out for are those fast 'bag boys'. I have literally been standing there with my reusable bags trying to pay only to look over and see the bagger has already started loading up paper or plastic bags! They get a little annoyed when I inturrupt their flow and hand them my own bags. I wish they'd start asking people if they have resuable bags before they start loading them up. Also, I have to keep an eye out for cashiers at CVS or RiteAid putting 2 items in a plastic bag way too big for the purchase, or, my favorite, packaged items put in a bag...is that really necessary?? Start taking your own bag to the store, it's SO much better!
