This may not be a big deal for some, but to me it is. I have had a real problem remembering to bring a tote bag in stores for my groceries or other items. It's been unreal the number of times I have forgotten it, much more than when I have taken it in. It drives me crazy because I can actually be looking at the bag in the car, and I am still focused on what I am going to get or something I will leave it there. I was thinking I need to put a note on the dash to remind myself. Today though, I did use one, so yay me. I still think I need a note though because even if I go ahead and put this back in I know I will forget again. Do you ever forget your grocery tote in the car?

@snowy22315 I have Walmart+, but I really started using them solely because carrying that crap up my stairs hurt my back. It’s like $13 a month for unlimited delivery. But like you said, a lot of places don’t delivery to far out places.

What about bread and milk? Well, I guess you aren't eating bread now, but eggs?

I don't usually make a list unless there are things That are out of the norm for me to buy, like right now I need cocoa powder something I don't usually buy so I might need to write that down, or if I am making a specific recipe I will bring my phone with me so I can double-check what I need in the store.

@snowy22315 Our store puts their empty boxes out for people to use. It comes in handy for those kind of days!

I do not do grocery shopping. The question of forgetting the tote bag does not arise

Does your maid do it? It isn't just grocery shopping. It's whenever I buy multiple items from a store

@snowy22315 Yes. The maids do the shopping. I mostly do my shopping online

Sometimes it is the small steps that are worth making a fuss about

I took the step to always have one handy, but it still doesn't get in my hand when I go into the store. I am proud of myself for remembering today though.

We have them but we use them when we come out of the store
so we don't forget them in the store, "absent minded"

I try to remember my cold bags in my car, so my food stays cold while I am traveling. As the closest town is about ten miles from where I live. I find if I put it back in my car after unloading, that I don't forget it.
