SAVE WITH THE SACK

AND KEEP IT IN THE CAR

Yes, we've converted to the recycled grocery sack, but did you know that it not only saves the environment, but saves you pennies if you use it?

And here's a trick to remembering, since the common lament is that you don't have them when out shopping: Keep them in the car.
