What is a good way to remember to take my reusable bags into the store with me?

Question

I bought 6 reusable shopping bags, but I always leave them in the car and don't remember them until I'm in the checkout line with my stuff all over the place. Does anyone have a clever way I can remember them? Thanks!

Side note: I come from a very un-green town. The day I bought the bags, instead of using them to bag my groceries, the moron bagger stuck them all in a plastic bag!

Answer 1

get in the habit of putting your list and coupons in the bag when you head to the store............works for me...

Answer 2

put a reminder in a place you look often....like in a closed cell phone

Answer 3

I make sure to put mine on the passenger seat. Sometimes I clip them to my purse with a carabeener. The problem for me is getting them back out to the car after I've brought groceries home.

Answer 4

Maybe you could get a dog leash.

1. Gather all of the bag handles and tie them together at the dog end of the leash

2. Put your hand through the loop.

3. Throw the bags into the passenger seat or back seat, while still keeping your hand through the dog leash.

If you manage to get out of the car without the bags, then you probably won't get very far, because of the leash being stuck in the door. :^)

Here's a stylish tip. Try to find a leash that matches your purse. If you need to, you can tie the leash end together, and then throw it over your shoulder, like a purse. This is helpful, in case you don't go into the supermarket right away.

Here's a technical tip. Try using a caribeener if you have a spare. If not, then try using an extra piece of string or something. This way, you won't have to struggle to put the bags on the leash. Also, you could fasten the 2 ends of the leash in a better way.

I like this idea so much, that I'm going to try selling leashes to people when they go into supermarkets.

Answer 5

Staple them to your face.

You'll never forget then.  :p

Write "Bags" on a leaf of lettuce and carry the lettuce in your pocket, and when u put ur cars keys in ur pocket ull feel lettuce and ull say to urself: "hey who made salad in my pocket?" then you take it out and realize it says "Bags" and you say to yourself "Oh I better get my reusable bags from the car before i go in the store" Then u can reward urself by eating the lettuce. a fun thing to do is use icing on the lettuce, the kids love it.
