One more bag I need…REALLY!

I recently did a post on things that make me happy. The ones I listed are general ones…but in reality,there are many things that make me happy. Even the smallest of things. Let me tell you an example. As I was making my grocery shopping last weekend, something caught my eye, which made me very happy.

This type of bag is used in Europe so that not every trip to the grocery or store would mean plastic (as is practiced here in the Philippines; posporo na lang ipaplastic pa). I remember being amazed (and envious) because many use these handy strollers (if not their own bags).

I have my eyes on these cute bags…

Boy, am I glad to see that the practice is being introduced here. I for one always bring my own bag when shopping so that when the opportunity to not use plastics comes, I grab it (ie, when there is no store policy prohibitng you to use your own bag). Sometimes, I just carry my purchases with my bare hands (even when cashiers ask  “Mam, sure po kayo di nyo na ipaplastic?” because I am carrying one Coke bottle, two bags of bread, 1 kilo of potatoes , and two bundles of suman at the same time)

Seeing these babies made me happy, but it would certainly make me very happy if these become the norm here in the Philippines. This is one bag we all should have.
