SMART goal is to use a reusable bag everytime I go grocery shopping.
I did really well with it the past week! I brought a bag with me every time I went to the grocery store. However, once I only brought in one of my bags, and ended up needing two. So i chose plastic. I went one other time just for a few things and remembered my bags. I also got 10 cents taken off of my bill! :)
The challenge I faced was not remembering to have both of my bags in my car. The strategy I used was that earlier in the day that I knew I was going grocery shopping again, I wrote a reminder note to myself on the white board in my living room.
I felt really great to use my reusable bags! I felt like I could help inspire someone else to use them, by seeing me do it. My plan for next week is going to remain exactly the same :) Even though it didn't work out perfectly I think it's definitely still an attainable goal.

Very clever of you to write yourself a reminder note. I think I am going to start doing that as a way to make sure I remember to bring my re-usable water bottle!
ReplyDeleteGreat job! You are inspiring other people to do the same thing.
ReplyDeleteAwesome job so far!!those pictures of the bags your have are really cute, I want one!
ReplyDeleteI had the same problem of remembering my reusable bags, until I got a Tote of many colors from Maggie Bags. It is big enough to hold all my groceries, sturdy enough to carry anything I buy and cute enought to remember to take it in with me.
