Default A cashier told me...

That Publix will soon be charging $.20 each plastic bag that you use and that the Reusable shopping bags will increase in price!

We'd heard rumours of that happening here in Cali with a local chain. STILL hasnt happened. BUT, I guess we should all be using a recyclable bag anyways.

I've got plenty.

Makes me glad I've got about a dozen or so that I've picked up from here and there for free (buy this, get the bag free), and I have two nice big insulated ones for frozen stuff (really good to have here in FL... step outta the store in the spring, summer or fall and your ice cream is melted before you get to your car).

I guess it's a good thing that doing a better job a using reuseable bags is one of my many New Years resolutions for 2010 !
Right now , I always remember my huge binder but forget the bags .

hey falcon, i'm there with ya, i have the reusable bags and never remember to bring them. i always leave my house through the garage so maybe i should put a hook closest to the garage door so i can just grab it on the way out, hey, not such a bad idea!!

I have several re-useable bags, but don't always use them, because then what would I use to throw out diapers? Or line the bathroom trash cans? I like both because the plastic grocery bags get re-used around the house.

We leave the reusable bags in the car, on the floor in the back. We have all the bags folded and stored in one bag. If I only need one or two, I reach in and grab 'em... if I'm doing MAJOR shopping, I grab the whole bag of 'em.
