I tend to carry the groceries around the store in the bags, and when I get to the check out line, I plop the full sacks on the conveyor belt. It gives the hint that I want them back in these bags. Keeps them from getting too heavy, and saves useless bags getting tossed.
I walk to the store and use one of those little foldable carts to bring my groceries back home, so I usually balance a basket on top of my cart, since I've figured out that the amount of groceries that I can fit into the bigger size basket my grocery store has is about the same as the amount that will fit in my cart. Then when I get to the checkout, I take the basket off the cart, get the bags out of the cart, put them on the conveyer belt first, and then unload the groceries onto the belt. And I'll generally say, "I'd like these in these bags, please," just be be sure. Never works. They'll still put them in the plastic bags.
That sounds like a good method. I guess those folks just aren't the brightest bulbs on the christmas tree is all.
Kristin, when did you start the antibiotics? Thursday? Morning or afternoon? If it was Thursday afternoon or evening, I'd hazard a good guess that today was too soon for you to start feeling better. Tomorrow, though -- the drugs should kick in.
for antibiotics - as a kid 24 hours. As an adult 48 to 72 hours to feeling better.
Happy G&T season.
What ... it started an hour ago at my house.
I wonder if this guy has seen
Unbreakable.
Thursday afternoon. Okay, so then I'll give it another day. If I'm still feeling lousy tomorrow I'll call the doctor. Thanks.
all my ~ma are belong to you, Kristin.
My Kroger actually sells canvas shopping bags, and still there are times when they totally ignore my bag! But most of the time they're pretty good -- the cashier gets it even if the bagger doesn't, and at least some of my shopping ends up in there! I'm quite proud of myself for remembering the bags most of the time.
TJs will re-use paper bags but I can never remember to bring them in with me. I got them as far as the car. I wonder if I invested in canvas bags if that would help me remember.
