For years, I loved the idea of reusable shopping bags. There are so many benefits to using them. They are better for our Earth, many stores will give you a small discount for using them, they are cute, and the hold a lot more than those flimsy plastic bags. The only problem I had was remembering to bring them into the store with me. Even when I kept them in my vehicle, that did not guarantee I'd remember to take them in to the store. That all changed a little over a year ago, when I figured out how to trick myself into remembering.
Before we leave for the grocery store or farmer's market, I grab our stash of reusable bags from the back of the vehicle and place them on the passenger seat on top of my purse. When I get to the store, I have to pick up the bags to get to my purse, and that is all it takes to remember to bring them in.

Good idea! I have a slew of reusable bags and I ALWAYS forget to bring them when I go shopping. I'll have to try your idea. :)
Great idea...I too am guilty of getting in the check out line, only to remember the mountain of bags in my car!
My WFMW tip last week was on this same topic- but I keep mine in the car. Great minds think alike! :)
Great tip. I do the same thing when trying to remember anything!
I always forget to bring in my reusable bags. Great tip.
I have had the same problem so I began putting them on the seat next to me with my purse inside the bag that holds the bags!! Now that my son is old enough to want to sit up front, frequently because he's driving, I have to put them in the back seat which still causes me to reach back to get them since I can't shop w/o the purse. =)
