The spice must flow...

On reusable bags

Some reusable bags are just clunky. The ideal ones are those you can fold to the point you fit it on your purse or pocket.

I made grabbing the bags part of my routine. I can remember anything when it is part of my routine.

I don't use any bags anymore if i can help it. I just load them into my trunk and use a little crate with wheels and a handle on it to bring groceries inside. The crate never leaves my home, so I can't forget it.

I leave a pile by the front door so I take them to my car next time I go out

Keep one in your back seat at all times, keep another in your trunk, then remember to bring one every time you go to the store. If you forget, you have the one in the back seat, just put a new one there later. If you forget to do that, you got the trunk backup, just replace that later.

Wanna get real fun? Keep all of your reusable bags in the trunk.

Always fold mine and put them next to my shoes. Then next time I leave the house, I put the bags in my car 🙂

I do like to collect them but I never need a fifth examplar of that bad quality overpriced one they are offering...

I'm in this picture and I don't like it

I just use an old cardboard box.

I’ve never really had that problem, because I almost always carry a large-ish backpack with a cotton bag folded inside, but it would be neat if stores had a box near the checkout where you could leave your extra bags for other clients to use for free.

One of the libraries I go to does something like that, they keep some bags near the front desk and give them to users who need something to carry their books. I’ve given them two bags I had no use for. And I know a bulk food store where you can leave empty containers for other clients to use.

this could be a case where you should consider having groceries delivered to your home.

If you live in an area with bag fees, you probably also have yard waste / compost bins. I take the paper bags for gardening and compost. 5 or 10 cents for a compost bag ain't too shabby.
