In an attempt to break our own world record, we went to the store yesterday and spent $411.83 on groceries in one go. The sad part is that they all fit in one cart. Well, not really. I did need another cart for the dog food. The good news is that they all fit in the reusable bags we've been taking to the store since last Earth Day. That's when my cousin sent me a shopping bag with our family name on it (big white bag in photo) on the very same day I got online to buy a set of reusable bags (the cute blue ones with the earth on them). I took it as a sign. We've added various additional bags like the two we bought up in Logan that are insulated (Smith's Marketplace $1.99 each!), when we needed to carry some cheese home from the cheese factory. It's quite a mix of types and sizes now and the store folks always comment on it. But they've been universally supportive of the effort even though it takes them more time to pack the groceries. Hooray for the little things we can do to make a difference.

Good job on the bags!
I love your blog. It's too bad I live so far away and miss out on all the fun things back home. BTW, our cabin at Hebgen is in the Romsett Summer Home area, near the part of the lake with an actual sandy beach (remnant of the quake) and near the contour road main entrance on Denny Creek Road. We go every summer, and it's also the place we got engaged. One day, Steve hopes we will build our own cabin up there so we can spend all summer there with our kids and dogs.
