I just thought of something. If I got bins (left my green boxes with my
daughter when we moved) and took them with me, while I couldn't use them for
the actual shopping because the carts are too small, I could get the clerk
to pack in the bins instead of using bags. Note to self: stop by Home
Hardware tomorrow and pick up some bins.
