Warning: Switching to reusable bags was harder than I thought.
I decided to stop using plastic bags at the store. I kept forgetting to bring my own bags and had to carry stuff by hand. Any tips for making reusable bags a habit?

Putting one bag by the door works better than a pile.

Carrying stuff by hand is the universe's way of shaming you into remembering. I tried the whole "link it to your keys" thing like @karen_torres89 said, but then my keys just got lost in the bag abyss. My system is pure chaos. I have like ten bags piled by the door and still walk out empty handed. The trick is buying so many reusable bags that they spawn in your car by themselves. You just accept the bag mountain as part of your home's decor now.

Hey, that's a common struggle for sure. What helped me was linking the bags to something I never forget, like my keys. I keep a couple folded up in my purse now, but it took a few awkward trips carrying loose items before it stuck. Do you have a specific spot where you always put your bags after unpacking groceries, or do they just end up wherever?
