Money back bags
Tuesday, June 24, 2008

At various grocery and chain stores where I live in the midwest, for every fabric reuse shopping bag used at purchase you receive 5 to 10 cents back for not using plastic.

Each bag is a nickel or dime that you use for your purchases.  On average, since I buy in bulk, I get 50 cents to a dollar off my total bill.

The fabric grocery bags only cost a dollar and I'm going on 7 years with my bags.  They are washable.
