I went over to Target yesterday to pick up some TP, because, yet again, I have a roommate who uses the last of the TP and forgets to tell anyone. Excellent.

As I was walking past all the food and crap near the check-out, I happened upon this:



I'm a big fan of reusable bags and usually keep mine all rolled up in a bag near the door, because honestly, there's really no better way to store them. Target, however, came up with one of the best $0.99 ways to store their little green-friendly bags by zipping them in upon themselves into these little, women-sized-wallet packages that fit right into my glove-box. I never have to worry about leaving them in the car and taking up space, I don't have to think about whether or not I grabbed them on my way out to a shopping spree.

Brilliant. I do wish they were a little larger (Whole Foods's reusable grape vines nad bees bags have better shapes, more squared off at the bottom, and longer handles for over-the-shoulder carrying), but I can't complain when there's the little incentive to buy the fold-up bags. Cool stuff.
