As I've blogged about before, we shop at Wal-Mart, really, because there's no where else to shop in this part of rural Arkansas. We do have one locally owned grocer left, but they are so high, we only shop there for what limited meat we buy and sale items.
A few months back, my husband picked up some Wal-Mart cloth bags for $1 each. This doesn't mean that their clerks know how to pack them (or any other bags for that matter), or that they offer you cash back for using them.
That's right, I said, "cash back," which is what we used to get at our locally owned grocer in Kansas City when we brought our own bags. A nickel a bag may not seem like a lot, but it all adds up - and in this economy, that's important. When you think about it, it's only fair for them to offer a refund per bag, as the cost of using their own bags is already calculated into the cost of groceries.
Maybe we should all get together for a petition drive to ask Wal-Mart to reimburse us for our cloth bags?
