Our month-long June theme was the hefty topic of reusable shopping bags. We blogged and blogged bags, and yet there’s so much more we could have blogged. Bags are a big deal. We’ll likely revisit this feature at some point. If you missed any bag goodness, here’s a round-up of all things reusable bags…
The BYOB […]

This month we’ve all been working hard on the reusable bag challenge. Now is your chance to tell us how you did.
Myself: I did pretty good. I only ended up with the one lame video store bag. Thankfully, I averted some clerks during the month, who were trying little sneaks, like re bagging my fruit […]

Bag month has been a little hectic. Too bad, because there’s just oh so many bags to see. In any case, I’m going to try and fit in a few more bags before we kick off out cool July theme.
I saw these bags originally at Eco Friendly Driver, and fell in love, because Hil had […]

Inexpensive is relative; one person’s inexpensive is another person’s not so much. However, for the sake of this post, I’m naming right around $10 and under as a decent inexpensive bag. Yeah you can get store brand non-washable bags for 99 cents, but I’m more on the fence of folks buying a decent washable set. […]

Go me… Go me!
So far, I’m only in for one bag - my previously mentioned lame movie store situation bag. I haven’t used that one bag for anything yet though. I decided to place it by the door to the garage. This way, when we’re on the way out, I see it and think “LAME” […]

We’ve been showing a lot of bags this month, being that it’s reusable bag month. Good old basic plain bags is all you need to make a difference to the environment, but sometimes, a totally cute tote is still a good time.
Check out these bags from three beans & co - I know, from the […]

This is a tough question to crack, but one you may be wondering about if you’re considering buying some reusable bags for grocery and other shopping trips.
How many grocery bags?:
I used to have a bunch of odd shaped bags. Now I have eight that are exactly the same size; 12″ wide x 12.25″ tall […]

Just checking in to see how everyone is doing with their reusable bag challenge this month.
How I’m doing:
My grand total count of plastic bags in the house this month - counting all produce bags, basic grocery bags, and bags from other stores is - 1.
I got one plastic bag. AND you won’t believe how stupid […]
