this is not a paid announcement for smith's or their reusable bags. however, i did want to share my latest attempt at being a little more environmentally friendly. our local smith's has these reusable shopping bags for .79 each. they also sell thermal ones for slightly more, but i figure that my plastic bags that i've been using for years weren't thermal, why start now?
the bags are great. they are way more sturdy than the plastic bags, so when your bagger overloads your bag, you don't have the embarrassing experience of having the handle break and salsa and spaghetti sauce mixed with glass all over the ground (true story). also, they hold twice as much as normal bags, so it means less trips from the car to the house. and best of all, they're way less wasteful. there are tons of these types of bags available out there even if your local grocery store doesn't sell them. check it out.

I just started using these bags and I love them too. I hate it when the baggers at walmart put 2 items in a sack. I like to load them full!
i also just found out that they give you a 5 cent credit for every bag of your own you use at smith's. it's not a lot, but technically, these puppies would pay themselves off within a year or so.
