New Year’s Resolution: Using reusable bags for shopping (Target will give you 5c for every one you use!)

Did you know that Target will take $0.05 cents off your order for EVERY reusuable bag you bring to bag your items with?

Target wants to make it worth your while to think Green!  They give you a 5 cent credit on your purchase for each reusable shopping bag you bring and use!!

Five cents may not seem like a lot but think about how many bags you come home with from your average grocery store visit. 10 bags? That’s 50 cents. 20 bags? That’s $1. Once a week for a month? That’s $4! 12 months in the year? That’s $48!! All for reusing your bags!

Not to mention it’s good for the environment! I feel bad about throwing plastic bags away.  I’m always looking for uses for all those plastic bags, but they accumulate faster than we can use them! Now I can come home with a little less waste and little more change and not feel so bad.

Make a commitment to keep reusable bags in your car so you always have some when you stop at the store!  After I unload my groceries at the house, I put all my bags inside of one bag and sit it next to my purse.  So the next time I leave, I take them back out to the car.  I always have reusable bags with me!
