    Been using reusable bags for better than 15 years in our household. I just bought some mesh bags to replace plastic produce bags ... when we make the move to Nevada we will be composting all our organics, and recycle binning all the metal, glass, plastic and meat comtaminated stuff that won't compost well. Rob is really into gardening and he checked the ground at our plot and it is fairly heavy on the clay and will need amendment with composted organics.

    [He is also trying to figure out if we should go with an incinolet toilet that produces ash, and running all the grey water in the house through a filter and back into the ground as irrigation water. Speaking hazmatically we would need to change our household chemicals, and I am not sure I can find laundry products I am not allergic to that are biodegradable.

      I go to fairs every year, every local fair that I can find, and you can pick up dozens of bags at those fairs. Vendors just love to advertise on reusable bags. Just this last summer alone, I must have gotten 30 bags! I'm donating a bunch of my older bags to a food bank who can use them, and next year when I get about 30 more bags, I'll cull them out again.
      Of course, I usually don't remember to bring them into the store, but I'm getting better about that. Really I am.

        Can you put them in your car? Somewhere easy to remember?

          My challenge is remembering to get them from apartment to car, and they get stacked right near the front door!

            If I know I'm going shopping, I usually hang them off of the front door handle. Once they're in the car, I pull them part-way through the handle of my backpack so that they get yanked out with it.

                                I sewed up a bunch of grocery bags out of remnants or fabric I got at Goodwill. I originally did this because a bag holding cans of soup broke, and not only did I end up with bruises on my foot I had to get down on hands and knees and fish the cans from under other vehicles. So, since this was the second time it had happened, I felt that it was time to put my sewing skills to use and sewed up a bunch of bags.
