I'd end up having half canvas bags and half plastic ones in our cart. <br /><br />However, I obtained some HUGE bags at a seminar I attended in March and now six of these bags hold an entire cart full of groceries.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12791420477284901556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7919889744528028610.post-42142128290336562602009-09-21T12:59:18.092-07:002009-09-21T12:59:18.092-07:00I have those re-usable bags and use them, but then...I have those re-usable bags and use them, but then one day I realized I had no more paper grocery sacks at home and <i>we re-use <b>those</b></i> for the doggie-doo clean up in the yard--thereby recycling said bags. So I had to go back to <i>not</i> using my re-usable bags in order to get the bags I needed to re-use for poop. If that makes any sense. If there is some sort of dog-poop removal method/system that I am unaware of someone feel free to enlighten me.SuddenlySouthernCyndihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07079201478976585715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7919889744528028610.post-49522440622159380032009-09-21T12:48:29.689-07:002009-09-21T12:48:29.689-07:00I still call them "bag boys" (or "b...I still call them "bag boys" (or "bag girls").

Actually I call him Paul since that's his name. But it's a small town and a small store and always the same guy.<br />I live with so much eco guilt that I actually forgot bags once and carried all my loot out in my arms instead of accepting Paul's offer of a bag.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7919889744528028610.post-44022426287782179142009-09-16T23:55:31.255-07:002009-09-16T23:55:31.255-07:00Sounds like my days that run on like run on senten...Sounds like my days that run on like run on sentences I want something to eat why are we having pork chops massage my feet honey I don't want to brush my teeth sunny (the dog) pushed me I can't find any socks this isn't the right paper for my homework make her get out of my chair...and so on.<br /><br />Eh, getting kinda down right now. I've been there, with the big Guy staring at me like, "THIS is the most inane minutia possible."<br /><br />Crazy Aunt Purl waxed poetic last year about Envirosac bags. They ended up offering her readers some on sale. Snatched up a few sets and freaking love them! I use them every day. You get 5 in a set and they roll up like sushi with another small bag to put them in. Super chic designs advertising no stores whatsoever. I could go on, but this is exactly the kind of topic you are talking about. Good gravy!<br /><br />Love your blog and Mrs. Suburban's as well. I have one question: I know I have seen your little title sign somewhere, have you ever told it's location? I live in So Cal too and I must know!
