I finally used my downtown Greensboro bag for grocery shopping!
I'll admit: I am very bad about using my reusable shopping bags.
I've even made the effort to put all of my (...many) bags--cloth and paper--in the car so that I can quickly grab them before going into the store. One of three things happens:
(1) I don't need a bag (or I can put it in my purse). Ok, this is ok.
(2) I just forget. Tsk tsk.
(3) I am too embarrassed to use it.
What?! Embarrased?
Sometimes. Actually, at Earth Fare, I am more embarrassed when I forget my bags. After all my time shopping in the "healthy supermarket," my efforts tumble when I try to act like I am actually choosing the better choice between paper or plastic.
They don't let you get away with that.
I am embarrassed when I go into a Wal-mart for example. Or, I could end up being embarrassed. I know, I know, even Wal-mart sells their own bags. P.S. don't even get me started on thinking about getting started on all the stores printing their own bags. Anyhow, it just seems to me that with all the hype about these bags, in big box stores and other retailers, it doesn't seem to be a part of their efficiency to have customers give the cashier or bagger their own bags. Maybe I should focus on Wal-mart since that's where it seems to take more effort for the cashier to bag items when the bag isn't on that carousel thing-y.
Ok, I am thinking too much about this. But, honestly, I feel weird about it when I go into some stores! I just have to get over it. Just look what I can fit in a fine ol' reusable bag:
