Red is the New Green

We recently went to an auto show, and while we were there we passed by the Toyota dealer as they were handing out reusable bags. The kids each took a bag and we continued on our way. I was quite excited about these new bags because I had big plans for them.

I had been wanting some reusable bags to use at the grocery stores, but I've been picky. Picky because I don't want bags that have store names on them. I know it's weird and just something I should just get over, but I didn't want to take a Target bag to use in Safe Way. See? Weird. And I'm also picky about price. I know, I know, they can be had for pretty cheap, but not if I want a generic no-name bag!

Enter my new (free!) bags from the Toyota dealer! The bags are big, and sturdy, and red!, and have Toyota written across the front. Now, we are typically a Honda family, but I think I'll make an exception here (we did once own a Camry and it was a very good car!). I knew that I was going to use these bags often and who knows really how long they will last, so I had Ryan and Mae go past the Toyota dealer once more to pick up two more bags. Score! I am now the proud owner of FIVE reusable grocery bags!!!

I have thought this through, and I keep my trendy, store-neutral bags in the truck so that I won't forget them when I go to the store. And it's worked out pretty good too, for I have yet to leave them behind whilst going grocery shopping. Oh, and the number? Perfect! Five is a great number. I think we may have used all five at one time, but never have we had to supplement with plastic! Sweet!

Take a peek at my new Green bags! Aren't they fab?!
