A fun idea that will reduce landfill waste and save you money is to make your own shopping bag by reusing an old t-shirt. This simple project costs only pennies and takes about 5 minutes to complete. Your t-shirt shopping bag will fold small enough to fit in your purse or in the console of your car. Now you’ll have a use for all those old t-shirts that you can’t bear to give away, and you’ll also be helping keep plastic shopping bags out of landfills.

Another benefit of shopping with your homemade reusable grocery bag is that some stores will give a 3-, 5- or even 10-cent discount for every reusable bag (or reused bag from any store) that you use during your shopping trip. Check with your store to see if this is the policy, and don’t be shy about politely reminding a forgetful cashier to subtract your discount from your shopping total.
