LMAO!

I have to tell this "hunting" story.

It was fall in GA and a group of us along with our major prof were heading to Hartsfield to catch a plane to a conference. Early morning. A lady was with us in the other car from China. Anyway, a truck drove by with a deer on the back (one of those platform things that you can get and put in your tow thingy and haul stuff like coolers, etc.). Deer was kind of big but not obnoxiously so. Anyway, we were in the car behind and you could see her jaw drop, then her head whip around like she wasn't sure she saw what she thought she saw, then her hands are just waving all around and she's jabbering about something. It was hilarious to see and I'm sure even more hilarious if you were actually in the car with her.

Sea of Bags (Could you image if I tried to use the reusable grocery bags? I'd have to take a million in with me! LOL!)

When Christmas & Halloween collide! This is what Drew was playing with today! LOL! Her Trick or Treat bucket & her nativity set.

Ummmmm, B, how many people are you feeding in that house of yours?!?!??!

haha, was wondering that myself!
And you know, those reusable bags hold WAY more than the plastic ones!

LOL! Just 3 + the alien in my belly! I only buy groceries about once a month (other than the basics--bread, milk, cokes, etc.). Once the baby is here I'll have to change that to smaller weekly trips unless Jason watches them so I can go shopping. There was barely room for Drew in the cart! LOL!

I do reuse all those plastic bags though. I save them and use them for everything around here--little trash bags, packing material in shipping boxes, poopy diapers, etc.

Drew is adorable and can't wait to see more photos of her. I love kids in jammies.

You can fit about 2-3 regular bags of grocery's into one re-usable grocery bag. Also, my grocery store gives me $.05 back per bag I use if the bag was purchased from their store AND if they ever break or what not you bring it in and they replace it for FREE. My bags have paid for themselves and are now paying me. The hardest part is remembering to bring them. Im still trying to make it a habit.

I got one reusable bag from Safeway (green one for some promotion) during the summer and it's already got a hole in it. The best one is my large (or XL?) LL Bean tote. LOL!

LOL! I love the .05 credit for my bags! They'll replace that holey one for you Shirley! One day Anna spilled milk on one of my bags and they gave me a new one just for that. My favorite is my PCC bag but it isn't as big as the others, it only holds about one bag's worth of groceries.

Okay, this is making me laugh - Poor Brandi's thread hijacked by all the reuseable grocery bag talk

they will? I guess I'll have to go to the customer service counter and ask next week.

what's PCC?

I'm with Brandi though about finding uses for them - all the bathroom trash cans, diaper throw away bags when I'm out and about, etc.

Puget Consumer Co-op

I used to use them up, especially when we took the dog on a walk, and for wrapping diapers but now I try not to bring them into the house so much It really bums me out when I forget them at home!

I haven't succumbed to the green bags but I do take my brown paper back to the commissary each visit until they wear out/rip/get a hole..
