Cloth Shopping Bags

I’ve recently decided to be more ‘green.’ So I’ve been looking at a few websites that offer cloth shopping bags, some really hip ones. I found some nice bags here, but since I figured I’d need about 10 this seemed like a lot of money. So when I saw WalMart had them for a dollar, I bought one and have actually been taking it with on short trips to the store.

Today I go to Super Target to pick up a few things and see that they also sell cloth shopping bags. They are a little more expensive, but $1.49 really isn’t that bad. And they are kind of cute.   So I bought one. Now I have two bags and wonder why on earth I thought I needed 10??

I bought about $40 worth of goodies for my sick little granddaughter and everything fit in the two bags. I didn’t even feel stupid using a WalMart bag in Target…I thought there might be a chance of that.  So, take a look at my new bags and all the crap that fit in just two.

So I’m feeling pretty good about doing my part to save the planet. Then I take my righteous  self out to my gigantic Yukon Denali and blow through about $8 worth of gas going 5 miles back home with my cloth grocery bags. Gonna have to get rid of that thing!
