Twenty-Nine Ways

Yet another way to avoid supermarket plastic bag guilt when you've forgotten your canvas totes:
Take your purchases in your shopping basket up to the cashier and tell her your dilemma. Ask her if she minds if you put all the stuff back in the basket after it's been scanned. Carry the items to the car in the basket, transfer the purchases to the floor of the back seat (you don't want your apples getting under the accelerator). Then send your nine year old back inside the store to return the basket.
Works great!
