While shopping at the mall today one thing I realized is that while it is generally a good thing to bring reusable shopping bags with you, sometimes you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know if you are going to make an unexpected purchase such as seeing a very good item on clearance. Therefore, I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t usually bring any bags with me unless I am expected to make a big purchase.<\/p>\n
Today I saw some good sales for a few items and therefore I decided to pick it up. These were all in containers and so carrying them would be a bit odd as it would be like trying to carry a bunch of pool billiards with you. Therefore, I opted to pay the seven cents for the bag. Might not seem like much at all, but it adds up and not to mention all the extra clutter you get.<\/p>\n
Most of the reusable bags I see are for people who are doing like their weekly grocery shopping. Therefore, I am not inclined to carry those things around unless I know for sure I will put them to use. Sometimes what I do is that I just fold up an old plastic bag and stuff it in my inside jacket pocket for future use. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s just that I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t remember to put it back in the pocket after unloading everything.<\/p>\n
Too bad no one has invented anything that is a pocket sized and is easy to put in and take out. Then again, I am still waiting for the day where we can just light-beam stuff to our houses. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
