BYOB

This is great!!! I don't know how many people shop at Weis Markets, but these bags are wonderful. They are easier to use than the GIANT ones I've been using and are much cheaper (though I give GIANT lots of credit for having come up with the idea of selling re-usable cloth bags a long time ago). I guess I should have felt my nerve taking GIANT bags along when I shopped at Weis Markets, but I couldn't help but wonder when the idea of being environmentally friendly would catch-on. Now I have two cloth bags from each store. Check-out clerks are always surprised how much these bags can hold. I load all my heavy things in them and they have proven to be very strong. Tonight I fit $60 worth of groceries into two of them (I would have probably had at least 10 plastic bags had the clerk bagged my things as usual). Tonight I used only one plastic bag for my bread and eggs and I carried my gallon of milk and laundry detergent separately. That one plastic bag will serve as a trash bag for our small trash can in our bathroom this week and I don't need to store or throw away 9 other plastic grocery bags.

Looking for a creative way to care for Creation? This is a handy way to curb the amount of plastic we add to our landfills.
