I'm wondering though: how many times did you use that paper bag and get that 10-cent rebate? Might it have been worth it in the long run to spend $.99 on a cloth reusable bag that won't wear out? Then you wouldn't have created any trash at all.<BR/><BR/>By the way, where do you shop that you get a 10-cent rebate for reusing bags? The best I can do in my parts is at Shop Rite, which gives me <A HREF="http://suddenlyfrugal.blogspot.com/2008/07/in-bag.html" REL="nofollow">five cents for using reusable bags.</A> You get three cents only for reusing plastic or paper bags.Leah Ingramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05221552406610413975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17209233.post-30133240543356156712008-07-22T19:28:00.000-04:002008-07-22T19:28:00.000-04:00Not to be a stickler...but what you are doing is r...Not to be a stickler...but what you are doing is re-using the bag, not recycling it. Recycling is what happens when they take that bag and turn it into some other paper product. :)<BR/><BR/>Good for you for reusing your paper bags. I see so many out on trash day!? Since I have cloth bags for grocery shopping I rarely get paper bags anymore and when I do they inevitably end up being a recycling container.Nicole D.
