Want to know what I use for grocery bags?
I use the canvas bags that the Army, Navy and National Guard give to career placement folks at High Schools.

I have roughly 100 of them sitting in my office. We tried to give them away as prizes for post prom, but no takers. :rofl:

I think you could probably just walk into any office and ask for them. I mean, we paid for them, right?

They're very nice, roomy and I love getting that $.05 back for each bag. Not that the money makes that much of a difference, but I just love doing it.

1. I use really deep coat pockets.
It doesn't just save resources, it saves me money and time because I can just bypass the checkout. :patriot:

5. Now THAT is rich.
I wish I had a Navy one.

That would be the biggest joke in my little town.

I'm going to try and get someone to drive me over to the High School and see if they have any. But I doubt the recruiters even make an attempt here in S Marin County.

11. If I posted what I'm thinking

Plus, Matcom wouldn't feel Da Luv. :(

13. In Canadian supermarkets we are phasing out plastic bags
for 99 cents the check out sells cloth bags and more and more customers are switching to them.
