Even though it took a bit of practice to change old habits, I, too, am now carrying fabric bags to the grocery...or practically anywhere I'll need a bag. I keep them in the car at all times...empty them when I get home and hang the bags on the door knob so I'll carry them out when I go to the car. One grocery has begun giving me a small (very small) rebate for using my own bags!! Every little bit really does matter!!!
