I used my chico bags today and I loved them! I also have a huge "cooler" type bag that I use for all of my cold items. So between the cooler bag and my 5 chico bags, I did not use one plastic or paper bag for my shopping. I also used a "recycled" container for my bulk salt purchase, bulk shampoo purchase and my castille soap purchase.
Another big victory for me today was that I have planned 3 weeks of menus (mostly dinner but when I shopped I factored some lunches into it too). Aside from perishables, I will not need to do a major shop for 3 weeks!
So, my goals for the rest of this week are to continue keeping my heat set at 67 during the day when we're not here and at 69 when we are. I also only want to do one day of errands to help conserve gas. I may have to do 2 because my glasses should be ready by Friday, but I'm not sure I can wait until Friday to do the rest of my errands. Plus Friday is going to be crazy as it is between volunteering and interviewing a vendor for an event I'm heading up... hmmmmmmmmmm, may have to play with this one a bit! I also want to avoid eating out of any kind for 1 week. We have plenty of food and a large variety (especially once I do a little baking) so this shouldn't be too hard. Continue drying the dishes out of the dishwasher and only use my reusable bags when shopping!
