I believe that counts. Miss you already.

I have been needing tissue so often now for 3 days that the skin under my nose and on either side is chapped. I am putting on petroleum jelly tonight, all lotions and make-up sting. enough stupid allergies sinus crap. and the medicines not so much really stopping the runny nose.
You need the Kleenex with the lotion. They're non-chafing.
One chain of grocery stores here has started charging .05/bag. At one of their stores they don't give out bags at all, you have to bring your own or buy thier reusable ones.
This is usually not a problem for me because I've been schlepping my groceries home in a backpack for years. I have become extremely picky and I can't let anyone else pack my own groceries in my bags, and I get irritated if they don't ring in my groceries in the way I've put them on the counter--because I have put them on the counter in the exact order I want to put them in my bag.

Sue, I am exactly the same. I just tell the vashier to put it on The back and I'll bag. Otherwise I end up angry and rebagging.

I keep getting the paper bags because that's what we put the newspapers and other paper recycling into. It's worth $.05 per bag for me for that!
And, plus, you know it gets recycled, so it's a win for us all.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
They used to effectively charge .05 per bag at Ralph's by giving a .05 discount for every bag you brought in. Now they give you 5 points to your account and that turns into dollars every blue moon, and really, you're just doing it for the environment and nothing immediately palpable.
I do feel fail when I mis-estimate how much I'm buying and need to get a store bag. Even though I recycle those too.
