    I get such a thrill out of using reusable bags rather than plastic grocery bags.  I've purchased a few very compact bags that can clip on my belt loops or be tucked into pockets.  They are very lightweight and carry everything I need when I do groceries.

    I always try not to use one time use plastics.  It has become a habit to reach for a re=usable container before I grab a "baggie" so it is going well
