Did you know...

At the checkout when you go grocery shopping there are no grocery bags to bag your groceries. Yep forks thats right there is no one there to bag your groceries you cant choose paper or plastic and that beloved cupboard in your kitchen that is chuck full of plastic sacks doesn't exist. I have to buy small plastic bags now I cant just get them for free at the grocery store.
It's the worst when we forget our reusable bags when we had a car our trunk looked like this except it was full of soda, candy and chips.
But now that we don't have a car if we forget our reusable bags we stuff our pockets, stroller, diaper bag, arms with whatever we can carry until we make it home. Sometimes Chris will even bring a big duffel bag if we know we are going to get a lot of food.
Now I see why people go shopping every single day for food. A. no one drives anywhere and you can only carry so much. B. those bicycle baskets are only so big. C. What else is there to do.

Lets just say I miss something as simple as a grocery sack from the grocery store and a grocery checker that will even sometimes load my groceries into the car. American's have it so good!

its funny that we dont think about the little things that grocery bags. Makes you grateful for what you have. You never know what you have till its gone huh?? I sorry Ash. COME BACK TO THE STATES already... even though I am totally jealous of you and all the fun places you are living right now and totally happy for Chris that he is doing what he loves!!
