Kroger Goes Green
A national grocery chain is encouraging its customers to recycle by offering a discount on groceries. Kroger will now offer two types of re-usable grocery bags in all of their grocery stores. Customers can buy the bags that range in price from 99-cents to $2.99. Kroger is also encouraging customers to bring their own bags, by offering a five-cent credit per bag.

I totally bought a few of the Kroger bags and they’re fabulous. They hold a lot of stuff and are very sturdy. But here’s what drives me CRAZY: When you use the self-checkout and try to put your reuseable bags on the spinning rack of bags, it freezes the system! It’s happened twice to me and it’s so frustrating. I guess there’s something about placing the added weight of the bags (they can’t weigh more than a couple of ounces) on the spindle, b/c the spindle thinks that you’ve put some type of grocery item on it without checking it out. This is difficult to explain, but trust me, if you bring your own bags to Kroger, Don’t go through the self-checkout!
