LGT- Reusable Bags (Giveaway)

April 15th, 2009 Bella Posted in Fave Giveaways, Living Green, My 2 cents |

Target's version of reusable bag.. it's 99 Cents!

This week’s Living Green Tip (LGT) is Reusable Bags! I absolutely do not shop without reusable bags. It just seems like the obvious thing to do! You can purchase a reusable bag at your local market, Target, heck, even CVS is selling them now, and they’re like a dollar.

Even if you don’t want to purchase a canvas reuseable bag, you can just reuse the same plastic ones that you get from the market. Bring them back to the market and many of them offer you a small discount of like 2 to 5 cents per bag on your order! You can also use them to line small wastebaskets, or to clean up after your pet!

I think the hardest part to the reusable bag switch is to always have one with you when you make an unexpected trip to the market, or even clothes or makeup shopping. The key is to have several of these bags, so you can leave some in your car or squeeze one or two in your handbag. I have about 6 or 7 of the canvas bags, and I always feel like I’m helping the environment in a small way when I tell the cashier that I don’t need any plastic bags.

Also, don’t limit your bag reusing to the market! They are good for holding all kinds of goods for trips to the dollar store, trips to the mall, and even trips to the drug store or library.

To help you get started, I will give away 5 reusable bags to four lucky winners! To enter, simply add a comment to this post. You can say anything you want, from Hey Bella! to Pick me! Be sure to add an email address to the form when you enter your comment so I can contact you if you win (it isn’t posted)On April 30, I will randomly select the winners!!

I bought my first reusable bag at Jo-Ann’s last week because it fit my 12X12 paper better! I’d love to have some more, though, so pick me! =)

I’m all about reusable bags—and these are adorable! Most of mine are fm Shaws and Hannaford so I am actually a walking billboard! I’d love one of these pretty ones! Thanks

My new goal is to start buy one reusable bag per week starting May 1st through the end of June. Then if I need more I will get more after that. This will be a great start.

Bella,

sending you subliminal messages…pick me, pick me…

I have a few of these bags, but i always forget to actually take them
with me when I shop. Any suggestions??

I always leave a few in the car so I always have at least one or two with me.

makes sense to me…i think i have one in the car too. now
i just need to take it OUT of the car. probably should
put in in the cab instead of the trunk. out of sight, out of mind…
