I have to start putting them back in the car as soon as groceries are unloaded. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-reusable-shopping-bags#post-1955770 Sat, 22 Nov 2014 03:15:37 +0000 sunny 1955770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes we try to use them because I hate piling up the plastic ones at home! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-reusable-shopping-bags#post-1955753 Sat, 22 Nov 2014 01:50:27 +0000 lamariniere 1955753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always, I keep them in the stroller. Most stores charge for the thicker plastic bags, but grocery stores usually have the flimsy produce ones available for free. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-reusable-shopping-bags#post-1955183 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 17:09:46 +0000 blackbird 1955183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I like to use the plastic bags for cat poop! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-reusable-shopping-bags#post-1955095 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 16:36:38 +0000 sorrycharlie 1955095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yup! I have a ton from the disney store, love the quality. they hold up so well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-reusable-shopping-bags#post-1955089 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 16:35:40 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1955089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have them but I always forget to bring them into the store.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-reusable-shopping-bags#post-1955002 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 15:49:41 +0000 BSB 1955002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do, but I always forget to bring them into the store until I'm at the entrance. Usually I'm good with going back to my car to get them, but sometimes I'm lazy.</p> <p>Shoot! I always have 2 re-usable bags in my purse. I need to remember that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-reusable-shopping-bags#post-1954995 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 15:46:50 +0000 Ree723 1954995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! We get charged for using plastic bags so I always make sure I have my reusable bags with me. I like them - much easier to carry and far more efficient for packing groceries (we pack our own groceries here too), especially when I have two little ones in the trolley! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-reusable-shopping-bags#post-1954918 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 14:57:09 +0000 MrsF 1954918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love them! I feel like I can carry so much more that way too. Fewer trips from the car to the house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-reusable-shopping-bags#post-1954912 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 14:55:33 +0000 Corduroy 1954912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My county doesn't allow stores to give away bags anymore. So you bring your bags or have to pay for paper bags. I always forget when I'm buying things like clothes. Who remembers to bring their bags to the mall? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-reusable-shopping-bags#post-1954903 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 14:52:17 +0000 snowjewelz 1954903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only problem is I always forget to bring them into the store!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-reusable-shopping-bags#post-1954896 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 14:48:30 +0000 meganmp 1954896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have to in my city! Plastic bags are not allowed anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-reusable-shopping-bags#post-1954878 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 14:34:06 +0000 Mrs. Twine 1954878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Any time we shop I use them. I typically don't forget, but the rare times I do we get paper bags and then use them to store paper to be recycled, or cut them up for projects. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-reusable-shopping-bags#post-1954872 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 14:30:14 +0000 Synchronicity 1954872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We try to, but I'm still terrible about forgetting them at home/in the car. We also have a couple of bins that we use for groceries because we can cram a lot more in them, so less trips back and forth for unloading the car. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-reusable-shopping-bags#post-1954871 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 14:28:21 +0000 PurplePumps 1954871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use grocery bags as all our trash bags, but get more than we use, so I use reusable bags until I need more trash bags again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-reusable-shopping-bags#post-1954831 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 14:03:25 +0000 KT326 1954831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, my county has banned plastic bags so we have to bring them or be charged 10 cents. I think it is all places except restaurants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-reusable-shopping-bags#post-1954807 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 13:50:45 +0000 autumnlove 1954807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JessKas: Yeah, me too! I need to put them in my stroller basket when I go to the mall! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-reusable-shopping-bags#post-1954799 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 13:46:08 +0000 Andrea 1954799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, I bought a bunch and leave them in my car. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-reusable-shopping-bags#post-1954795 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 13:43:22 +0000 JessKas 1954795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always do for grocery shopping, but I need to get better about it for other stores. Especially because my town recently passed an ordinance to charge for bags! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-reusable-shopping-bags#post-1954785 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 13:36:51 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 1954785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We live in LA county and plastic bags are banned, so if we don't bring reusable bags to the store (even target), we have to pay 10 cents for each paper bag. When we walk to the store, I always remember bags, but sometimes I forget when I drive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-reusable-shopping-bags#post-1954766 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 13:28:27 +0000 AngelicOne 1954766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, we have some awesome ones from Costco from years ago that are huge &amp; hold so many groceries. Costco finally got them again &amp; we bought a couple of sets of them so now we have lots (though they are a tiny bit smaller than the previous ones) :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-reusable-shopping-bags#post-1954754 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 13:21:23 +0000 birdofafeather 1954754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep. and we're going to have to start paying soon if we don't bring them, so i'm trying to be better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-reusable-shopping-bags#post-1954753 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 13:21:02 +0000 MediaNaranja 1954753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All the time. I keep a bunch in my car. Although try as I might I can't seem to get rid of the bags full of other plastic bags that come tumbling down on my head every time I open my laundry closet!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-reusable-shopping-bags#post-1954751 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 13:20:13 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1954751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do for grocery shopping. I like that they hold more so I don't have to make multiple trips to my car to unload groceries. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-reusable-shopping-bags#post-1954749 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 13:18:53 +0000 avivoca 1954749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I love them. I've had a few bags for years and they've held up very well. I've had to reattach a couple of handles, but that was really easy. I use the plastic bags I get when I walk the dog or scoop the litter boxes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-reusable-shopping-bags#post-1954747 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 13:18:23 +0000 looch 1954747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, for grocery shopping, shlepping things to the cleaners, back and forth to work, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-reusable-shopping-bags#post-1954742 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 13:17:38 +0000 autumnlove 1954742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am a lot better about using reusable bags these days. I unload my groceries and put the bags back in my car so I can't forget...I used to have huge piles of plastic bags at home! </p>
