The Walgreens sales paper has a coupon that allows customers to purchase 3 reusable shopping tote bags for $1. That is a great price because most of these totes are sold for $1 or more. I hope that other stores will follow their example and offer the totes at such low prices.
If the tote bags were less expensive then more people would purchase them and that would mean less use of the disposable plactic shopping bags. When you thing about it, a family shopping at the grocery store would have to use several of these bags and the upfront cost of purchasing the necessary amount of bags is probably a deterrent.
Now price is not a real issue with these reusable bags at Walgreens that can be purchased 3 for $1 with a Walgreens coupon. The coupon is part of the sales paper in this Sunday’s newspaper. Walgreens also has sales papers in their stores that have the coupons.
It took me awhile but I am a believer in the reusable shopping bags. The large bags make it very convenient because it means less trips back to the car while unloading. We even use our bags for towels when going to the pool.
I just started using reusable shopping bags. I use the bags instead of the plastic shopping basket.Plus I get five cents back per bag that I use when shopping.
