When we go grocery shopping to the wholesale store, we carry our Blue, cloth bags. That's not because we especially care about the environment, but because the warehouse-type store doesn't furnish carry-out bags. The advantage of this type of store is that we can buy in bulk and stock up.
Recently, we went to our local grocery store to buy other items that the big box store doesn't carry. Because the Blue bags were still on the top of our minds and in the back seat of the car, we used them again. Who knows? Thanks to Blue, we might just save a tree or two!
Happy Blue Monday!

Hello Sally,
ReplyDeleteTY for hosting... this is a good idea for a blue hunting LoL*
Happy Blue Monday to you.
Thanks,
/CC girl
I never seem to be organised enough! Is that more blue light bulbs I spy in your shopping bags? Are they working? Debbie
ReplyDeleteI don't really use cloth bags but we usually bring a regular bag ( like small gym bag ) when shopping specially if we know we'll buy heavy items.
ReplyDeleteWe use cloth bags - we're dissuaded from using plastic ones here in Europe!
ReplyDeleteYes,we use cloth bags. Green cloth bags!:)
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting.
Happy Blue Monday!
They want to start charging 10p a bag at supermarkets here - but I'd argue that re-using old bags for new food shopping is not a good idea.
ReplyDeleteI remember using a cloth bag while attending classes in gradschool, while the rich classmates were flashing the Channels and Pradas. Then something funny ensued. Slowly they also began using cloth bags in later weeks :)
ReplyDeleteHi Sally, I'm joining Blue Monday today but I'm afraid Blenza is not allowing me to link up. I will appreciate it if you could kindly link me up. Thank you very much.
Oh yes, I always re-use bags or bring a sturdier one when I go shopping. The amount of waste is big as it is and I think that we all should do what we can to help our planet to survive!
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday!
I do have one or two blue shopping bags, but most of mine are green.
ReplyDeleteSince blue is my favorite color, I wouldn't mind shopping with those bags at all!
ReplyDeleteInteresting. Our supermarket shopping bags are green.
ReplyDeleteOur shopping bags are the same shade of blue!
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting, Sally.
My angel photo has a startlingly blue cape.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting!
I should start this green habit soon.

I always have one blue shopping bag in my car, but most of the time I forget to take it with me. Happy Monday :)
ReplyDeleteYes, beautiful and useful fabric bags Pretty Blue!...
ReplyDeleteSaludos!
WE use cloth bever since the city of Toronto imposed a 5 cent fee for plastic bags. That fee has been lifted but most people are just now in the habit of bringing their bags with them.
ReplyDeleteSally, thanks for sharing. We usually use an L.L. Bean bag. Not blue but it has a blue handle.
ReplyDeleteSeveral large grocers don't provide bags anymore, so we always have a collection of cloth bags in the car. They're sturdy and easier to carry from car to house, too.
ReplyDeleteI still use the plastic ones. I reuse them in my small trash cans.When it is just one, it does not pay me to shop at wholesale stores.
ReplyDeleteI like warehouse stores like Costco and reusable grocery bags, Sally. Your bags are a pretty color blue! Have a good week,,,HBM
ReplyDeleteI like the blue color bags. I do use cloth and canvas bags for my shopping. I have one for grocery shopping and a different one for Walgreens and smaller items. Absolutely, save those trees :)
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Sally. Always have the cloth bags in my trunk. They come in handy for so many things including groceries. Thanks for hosting Blue Monday.
ReplyDeleteJoy
Cloth bags all the way I hate the build up of plastic and if I forget them I go for paper bags.
ReplyDeleteDenise
Thanks for hosting Sally. I have 2 bits of blue in my post, nothing like all those handy blue bags. Have a good week.
ReplyDeleteDenise
I have several blue bags. IKEA has these big bags for big stuff. Love your blues happy blue Monday
ReplyDeleteI have several blue bags. IKEA has these big bags for big stuff. Love your blues happy blue Monday
ReplyDeleteLove buying in bulk! A very had habit to change is to remind myself to take bags with me when I run out the door to do groceries. Already for years they do not provide plastic bags in grocery stores Holland - they make you buy it!
ReplyDeleteNice color and so practical...Christine
ReplyDeleteI have some bags but not in a pretty shade of blue. It's nice for the environment anyway. Happy Blue Monday!
ReplyDeleteHi Sally, thanks for hosting Blue Monday! Great idea :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat Blue post. You are so creative. Mine is up.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week.
Sherry
Great blue post Sally! I love the reusable grocery bags.Blogger gave me a fit and I missed the deadline but still have my post up if you want to stop by. Have a wonderful week. Hugs Anne
ReplyDeleteI would love to use those blue bags, but I never remember them or it would take so many that I don't have enough. I'm horrible.
ReplyDeleteIn South Australia it's illegal for Supermarkets to use plastic bags
