Tote bags

Santa's House at the mall

all lit up


I read this article saying that complimentary tote bags are overwhelming us now that they have taken the place of plastic bags. Come to think of it, I do have a mountain of them, how about you?

Nice house! You don't get complimentary bags or totes here, they all have to be paid for. They're trying to reduce the amount of unnecessary waste. Hugs, Valerie

Yup. I have to agree. I have so many. Basically because I always forget to bring a tote bag and often endup just buying another one.. :/

that's a lovely Santa house , I don't receive very many complimentary bags here in this small city,, only place I was given one was at Roots so maybe just the higher end stores give them away and i guess I don't shop enough lol,,, have a great day Christine, thank you for the kind comment about my painting,,

I always use the reusable bags when getting groceries, you don't look weird doing it there. I wish they were more common at other places. I just feel strange bringing them in to get hardware supplies or clothes or wahtever

In our country plastic bags have just been banned so we need all the totes we can collect. But there are no complimentary totes so far :)

I have a bunch but still within a manageable amount. When they get really old, I recycle them.

we have to pay a dime for every plastic bag we buy when we forgot to bring our own.

Lovely Santa house dear Christine!

plastic bags must be ban at any cost ,they are horribly increasing the air pollution here ,replacing them with such tote bags is great idea

When teaching, I got a tote bag at every conference I attended. What a stack I had piled up in my office. I threw most of them away when I retired.
