OnTheBrink Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I bought 10, yes 10, reusable bags at Meijer today. I spent $130 on groceries and only filled 5! LOL So, i took two more to the produce store and filled those. I figure I can keep 5 in the car and 5 in the house and just rotate them, so I'll never forget to take them with me. The Meijer bags are a pretty royal blue, so I chose those over the black Walmart ones or the higher-priced red Target ones. I'm resourceful AND thrifty!

Kim in Appalachia Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I got them from Walmart. I plan on getting 2 or 3 more. I would also say that it was the influence of the Hive that I bought those bags.:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elegantlion Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I have the Walmart ones. I have another that someone mailed me in sympathy before our stores carried them. I also have a purse sized one from Target. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runamuk Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I picked some up at the commissary and keep them in the car. I also have one of the big ones from Target. My husband doesn't remember to grab them, but my kids never forget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OhM Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I love the reusable bags too! I tell everyone about how great they are and then..... 95% of the time I forget to bring them in when I go shoppping. :willy_nilly: Yep - they're wonderful - when I remember to bring them. (Seriously - much easier to get the groceries into the house!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krista in LA Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 And when I took them with me to get groceries the last time, the goofy lady checking me out couldn't figure out that she was supposed to put my groceries in them! I understood when, out of habit, she started putting things in a plastic bag. But, when I pointed out the reusable bags and asked her to use them, she seemed baffled and kept putting things in the plastic bag. Obviously they need to do a little more employee training.

OnTheBrink Posted June 4, 2008 Author Share Posted June 4, 2008 My son informed me this evening that baggers don't like them, especially when an older person comes through with them. He said for elderly people, you're not supposed to bag as heavily as for we youngun's and it's difficult to pack them lightly and use them all and then you get angry little old ladies who get argumentative. I think he had a bad day today. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the one at our local Meijer that wraps it all in the plastic bags first, so that nothing spills in them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
