    Well this bag challenge is tough.  I did bring reusable bags at the Trunk or Treat event I went to with my family.  I did not accept the plastic bag they were giving out for the event.  Now I have candy to last until the Memorial Day parade.

    Well, I went grocery shopping and brought reusable bags.  I did not have enough for my whole purchase.  I used to have a plethora of bags a few years ago, but now when I am doing this challenge I can't find all of them.  I did save about 5 -6 plastic bags using my cloth bags.  I will try again soon and do better.

    Well I had an epic fail today.  I was trying to get out of the house with two arguing children and I forgot my reusable bags.  I had to accept three plastic bags today.  I will now put my reusable bags in the car so no more excuses.
