I keep reading about how people are using those reusable fabric tote bags instead of getting shopping bags at the checkout stand.

I also kept wondering why they weren’t big here in Oklahoma. I haven’t seen anyone using them. Period.

A friend told me that she bought some branded ones and was using the on her regular grocery runs. I still hadn’t seen any at all, being used, or for sale, not anywhere I’d been shopping. At all.

Then, on Saturday, I saw them at Sams. They were right up next to the registers, by the stack of boxes you usually use for packing your stuff to the car.

That was the first time I’d seen them anywhere.

Yesterday I ran in Lowes for a quick purchase and spotted them at the end counter on the aisle nearest the entrance.

I haven’t bought any myself, but I’m glad they are catching on.
