I am unfortunately going to admit that I am one of the people who bought reusable grocery bags years ago, and always forgot to bring them in. I’ve made it a priority to remember them and it’s been so so so nice. they hold so much stuff, and I don’t have to worry about the bottom ripping on the long trek up to my apartment. If I do end up forgetting them now tho, it’s fine bc I have cats and use those bags for their litter box waste lol.

👜Honestly always carry one in my bag because sometimes a little walk turns into a CVS haul which leads to a bookstore stop and then ends at the grocery store - you never know what errands the day will bring!

🛍Each of my bags I take grocery shopping with me tell a story, usually of a time I forgot to bring enough bags. I got my three standbys over the course of living in New Hampshire. I am fond of them.
— Market Basket/Demoula’s bag (IYKYK) — Trader Joe’s low yellow canvas bag (with a waffle on it) — Trader Joe’s New Hampshire-themed bag (with recipe on the bottom that no NH natives I’ve spoken to have heard of)

❌want to preface that i don’t hate the concept of reusing them. my issue is that at this point, they are starting to feel like a regular plastic bag and i have too many in my closet now.
i would rather a store that doesn’t use plastic bags invest in paper bags because then i have more uses for it. love Trader Joe’s bags because not only can i recycle them, i can use them for other things like shipping small packages, compost, or using it as kindling for fires. most reusable bags from the store are single use and can’t be recycled efficiently again.
especially with using meal or grocery delivery services, sometimes the restaurant invests in a plastic reusable bag with cute branding that im NEVER going to use, or an aldi instacart order and the shopper gives me reusable bags instead of grabbing cardboard boxes to hold the food.
i am in a conundrum here and i want out 😂 its getting to the point where i want an actual plastic bag so that i can at least use it to deep condition my hair or recycle it at the grocery store

You don't always have to be doing something productive or creative. Sometimes it is okay to just take a step back and exist.

🕶I've posted about this once before and will post about it again, I'm sure. One of the things that I have noticed since getting letterboxed last year is how afraid people are to admit they like something. that new animated k-pop movie on netflix made me notice this again when three of the people that I have on there prefaced their reviews with a variant of "i consumed this ironically, but it was actually kind of good..."
...LAME... and a little bit pathetic to see tbh.
We really need to remember that you only live once. just fucking enjoy the stuff you like, and stop asking the world for permission and acceptance to do so! being so afraid of what others will think when you post a review under a kid's movie is more cringe than admitting you like a kid's movie.
