Hi Gloria,

I have gotten very good at remembering to take my own bags into the market.
I have had concerns about the bacteria they may carry. After I unload the
bags, I take them back into the garage and put them into my pickup so they
are there for the next trip. On the work bench in the garage I have a can
of Lysol spray. I can spray the bags if needed. I do not spray them every
time. Depends on what I carried in them and how long it has been since I
sprayed them. Once in a great while I wash them. When we have traveled,
some countries charge for the plastic bags. In Austria it came to about
$.35 each. While that is not a lot of money, it would certainly add up over
a year's time.

I am still surprised at how many stores will put one item into a bag. More
and more are getting good about asking if you want a bag.

I feel better about not having all of those bags here.

later,

Dale
