Do you do it? eco-friendly grocery bags

so have you jumped on the band wagon by using the plethora of eco-friendly or “green” grocery bags that are out there in the market?? I haven’t, but I think I have a good reason not too. I re-use my bags, every single one. I have a cute little plastic grocery bag holder in my kitchen (that I made in home-ec when I was still in school) and I save each bag that comes into my home. I use these bags to line my smaller trash cans for the bedrooms, office and bathrooms. I also have a toddler still in diapers, so his stinky diapers get wrapped in a plastic bag and thrown away. I also use the bags as padding when mailing out packages. I really would like to use the “green” bags, besides the fact that I’d be going green, there are so many really cute bags out there. And I’d like to have the store clerk at my local grocery store stop telling me to buy the store’s green grocery bag and give me a disapproving look when I decline, every time I go in to make a purchase.

I saw these really cute bags via Creature Comforts last week and loved them. These are really fashionable and they have something for everyone.
