Have you noticed? I certainly have. Shoppers using their reusable bags. When I first gave up plastic bags, I felt like I was on a lone crusade here in Mt. Pleasant. No longer. These days I watch baggers fill all sorts of reusable bags. Whether a bag from The Little Green Bag Project, a Better Bag from Whole Foods, a 99 cent bag from Harris Teeter, or canvas bags, I spy you! Dwell Smart also sells an array of shopping supplies, and it may even be on your route to a store. I enjoy watching all your reusable bags being stuffed, and I hope you thoughtful consumers feel better too.

I’m glad that you are noticing. Since I only ever go to the Harris Teeter or Food Lion, I literally NEVER see anyone with a reusable bag. In fact, in the nearly one year that I’ve been using them, I have not seen a single other person doing the same. It’s so easy, and makes a real impact, yet nobody does it. total bummer.
Chear up camper! There’s at least one more family using reusable bags. We made the decision two weeks ago to make the switch.
Someone needs to tell the mgmt at the food lion and HT to offer, sell, and advertise reusable bags!
Awhile back our family made the decision to not bring anymore plastic bags home with us. That means on the occasion that we forget our bags (yup, it happens) we just have the bagger load our stuff up in the cart. Now a person in line behind you can’t miss this – it’s something of an attention grabber. And would you believe that 3 times the person behind me has said no to a bag – and they don’t have one with them. It’s made me want to keep getting in line just to try this unproven social experiment. My cloth bag useage has, to date, never prompted the same reaction.
