I used to always use the standard plastic shopping bags, but then I got thinking…

Now when I walk into the supermarket….I have a BIG fold up carry bag (the base is the same size as the trolley) and a number of large jute bags.

I run the aisle in a particular order - to pack the trolley most efficiently,

I place stuff on the checkout in a particular order - with the bag I want it to go in.

Heavy items (11L milk per shop) go in jute bags. Fruit & Veg in another. All non-crush items go in the big fold up bag.

Usually shop 7.30am Monday morning so I get the same person on the checkout who knows my system.

No disposable bags, super fast to unpack at home (before the school drop off rush) because I've packed like things together from the start.

If only I thought as hard about arranging the stuff on my desk & in the garage.
