Reuseable Grocery Bags: One More Way to Save at the Checkout
Written by Deb Ng - June 30, 2008 1 Comment
Does your grocery store give you money back for every bag you reuse? Mine does. Whether we bring our own canvas bag or reuse the plastic ones from the supermarket, we get a nickel off our groceries for each bag. That may not sound like a lot to you, but it adds up over the course of time. I know someone who takes his nickels and puts it in a jar. He’s saving for a Wii. OK, it may take him a while, but the cashier told me today the average person saves fifty cents a week bringing back ten bags for reusing. That adds up.
Most of us like to collect our nickels and dimes from returning bottles. Why not apply the same principal to our shopping bags?
