I finally made it to Bashas’ and I think I did pretty good considering I upgraded the spices to the larger size. The packets for FREE but this is our favorite steak seasoning and for almost 3 oz more it was well worth the extra $.50 each.

Here is what I bought:

• 6 Promax bars (hubby loves these)
• 6 Daisy sour creams
• 6 McCormick seasonings
• 6 Electrasol dishwasher detergents

I paid $5.84 all 24 items after sales and coupons! And I even remembered to use my Bashas’ reusable bag.

I came across this totally by accident while looking at another bargain site, I wish I could remember what site it was that led me to the solution but either way I am very thankful for a post I saw at WiseBread by Myscha regarding an Eco Hack for produce bags! Now I’m not one for sewing, heck I can barely cut a straight line let alone attempt to make my own bag but Myscha gave us non Martha Stewart types a really frugal and green option! I went to my local Dollar Tree and found this cute little pack of 4 reusable Tidy Totes for just $1.00! I grabbed 2 packs and might get more since they had tons of these in stock.

So now I have my cute reusable grocery bags that I got from various stores and my new pretty green mesh reusable produce bags to take along when I go shopping.

Thanks Myscha for giving readers more than one option on the Eco Hack, though I wish I could sew so I could have a really pretty produce bag.
