It's a challenge! My target store makes it even harder because they only use plastic bags. I always thought Target was eco-friendly. It's so disappointing when I check out and see all the plastic bags they are sending out with people. I've been getting better about bringing my reusable bags in with me. Though the action is small in the grand scheme of things, it does make me feel good that I'm trying to do my part. The struggle is remembering to grab it beforehand.

  Yeah, I thought Target sold reusable bags, even canvas ones.

  When I order online from target I usually opt to have items brought to my car and I have the option to use their bags or indicate they are to use bags I bring with me. It’s a great option. And keeps me from impulse shopping.
