Frugality can be fun

Remember I bought some reusabler plastic bags from Tiny Tapir earlier? It was mentioned in this post about being environmental.

I have finally got the chance to use my Envirosax, when DH was away in HK business trip. I took the kids to Jusco and after paying, I took out my bags…

Well, it was during fast breaking hours, there wasn’t any one at the cashier counter, so I took my own sweet time to pack.

The cashier was surprised to see the bags’ quality and the esthetic look. She said these Envirosax are a lot better than those sold by Jusco (they also promoting ‘bring your own grocery bags’).

Here are the loaded trolley:

Actually they claim that the bag can load 20kg (or so), but how can I lift that 20kg?! I have to separate them.

One thing I like about the bag is the loger handle, which we can carry around the sholder - freeing our hands to open doors etc, unlike the normal supermarket plastics.

Ian was so excited and wanted to help me carry the bags. I forgot to bring HIS bag, and mine are just too long for him. Look how long this is for him, a bit difficult to walk up the stairs:

envirosax too big

But this one is the kid’s size, slightly shorter, just nice for him!

Can’t see the difference? Never mind lah, it was also an excuse not to let him carry that heavy bag. Hahaha! Next time will bring his bag, so he can be also brainwashed too! LOL!
