Wasn't sure where to put this

I found the neatest website for reusable bags, like for groceries, etc. It's www.simple-bags.com . The bags are cool & cheap! I think I'll buy a few for the grocery store. Now, if I can only rememeber to take them to the store with me! lol

I just had to LOL when I read the title on their page - The Bag People.

Anyway, I always forget to take my "green bags" in too.

I have that problem too...hard to remember those darn bags..LOL

**annertak** · 09-15-2008, 11:40 AM

I know, I LOL'd at the name, too! I tried to order a couple of bags this morning, and there seems to be something wrong with their order page. I e-mailed, so hopefully they'll get back to me soon.

Hellooo....$20.00 a bag is not cheap! You can make them yourself or pay someone for less than that!

I make my own tote bags from old blue jeans. Much cheaper...very sturdy. Any time I do pick up plastic bags from the grocery store (ie. forget my bags), I store them at home for garbage bags. In fact, recently DH asked me specifically to not use the cloth bags as we need more garbage bags.

I made mine from old t-shirts. They are great. If they get yucky, I just toss them in the washer machine. I am considering making some from some of my hubby's old work pants.

My Aunt saw one of my bags yesterday and was interested in them, so I am going to make a few for her.

Whole Foods had some nice nylon with a drawstring for $1.50.
I keep on in my pocketbook for any purchases.
For the groceries, I try to put them right back into the car after I unload.

Wow, very stylish! I can't afford $20 though. I got one from JC Penneys for $1.99 a few weeks ago. Think its call A Green Bag & has a nice design on it. Seems stronger than my Target shopping bag, but I use both often. Plus one grocery store gives .05 credit off your bill, imagine that being in a small town!

IMO, $20 is too expensive. Most grocery stores sell green bags for around $1 each.

Real Canadian Superstore sells their recycled cloth bags for .99 a piece. I also have the heavier plastic bags from there that were 3/.99 and a couple bags from when I shopped at M&M Meat Shops. I suffer from the same problem as everyone else:

I keep forgetting them.

I also have green bins that I take with me. It'll come in handy this winter.

How I remember to have mine at the ready is this, after I unload my groceries, I put my reusable bags in the trunk of my car. That way they don't get left at home.

**Luv2BeFrugal** · 09-15-2008, 08:46 PM

Holy guacamole!!! Those are EXPENSIVE!!!! $20 EACH!!! (gasp, choke!)

Our grocery store has them for 99 cents each...they aren't all cute like those...but you could get 20 for the same price!!

**annertak** · 09-16-2008, 05:55 PM

Well, call me stupid

, lol, but I just ordered two of them! YAY!

I know I can get the other ones cheaper, but hey, I LIKE these. Maybe I'll actually use them because I like them. Believe me when I say I really don't splurge on much of anything, so I think I deserve them. Besides, I don't sew. lol And they are cute.............

ETA: I'll be using them for much more than groceries, so they'll get lots of use!
