The lifestyle will follow what the mind sets out to do.
Bags, bags, bags …
No, No, No
I remember one day looking at my kitchen pantry and realizing that we had more grocery store plastic bags than we knew what to do with. It was then it finally hit me that I should probably try to limit my plastic bag use at the grocery store.
It just so happened that dsw.com was having a promotion to earn a free tote bag set if you bought so many shoes. I needed more shoes (right?). And my home needed less plastic bags. Perfect! These bags stay in the car for planned and impromptu grocery trips.
I haven’t seen the promotion on dsw.com recently, but you can find similar totes at Target. I know it says laundry, but the rectangular design really makes packing tons of grocery items much better than a round bag. The trick to it is to always have the bags handy and nearby so there’s never any thought to it. Mindset.
