i'm such a good girl. i was just at the supermarket getting some stuff for dinner & i saw that they had some reusable bags for sale, so i bought one. these are the best ones i've seen yet. they have a flat piece of plastic at the bottom to give the bag a solid base. the checkout chick packed the few items i'd bought into the bag & i carried it away with me. by the time i'd reached the car & put my stuff inside i was so happy with the bag that i went back to get another one.

as i went through the checkout with just the second bag, i commented on what a good bag it was. then i said, "can you put it in a bag for me?" fortunately, she got the joke & laughed, rather than thinking i was just a big dork.

so now all i have to do is make sure that i remember to carry them with me the next time i go to the shops. i plan to keep them in the car, for those occasions when i end up going to the shops on the way home from somewhere else.

they actually have the words "green bag" on the front & back with a line drawing of a gum leaf &, of course, they're green. they have coles & bi-lo branding on the sides of the bags, but i don't care, i'll use them wherever i happen to shop.

they're really solid bags. i'm going to get some good use out of them.

yeah, they're getting quite popular. I read in the paper that people think they're cool coz they don't fit the hippy stereotype. My relies in Germany use calico bags whenever they can, and they also leave a plastic crate in the back of their car, which they use when they do their shopping. Similarly to Melanie & Coralie, my family has never bought plastic bags to use to put rubbish in, what a waste of money!, we also use them for other things. In fact I think my Mum's gone a bit far, as I think we have more bags than Tim the Bagman from Toowong in our storeroom!.
