Many people now own reusable bags but remembering to take them with you can be a problem. Our top tips to help you remember are:
- Keep a bag in your handbag for unplanned shopping trips.
- Put your bags next to your shopping list.
- Keep your bags by the front door so you see them just before you leave the house.
- If you have to take your car to the shops, keep a few bags in the boot.
