With Thanksgiving just days away, a GIVEAWAY seems the way to go. And you're all invited!
Thank you for voting for my Recycled Grocery Totes. They won!
The tutorial can be found here on the SYTYC website.
This fits a one Gallon Milk jug perfectly. I used to tell the checker No bags for the milk. But I really hate it when the jug leaves a milky residue on my car. So we're baggin it classy now! And you can too. Here are the details....
There will be TWO winners. One winner gets the Milk and Ice Cream bags. The other winner gets Greens and Bread.

RULES for the GIVEAWAY:
* Just leave a comment. That's all! (and leave your email address in your comment, please)
* only ONE comment per person.
* If you make a mistake and need to leave a new comment, please go back and delete your previous one.
* Open to anyone who has a mailing address, even overseas friends!
* Giveaway is only ONE day long. It will end Monday, 11/23 at 11pm (central time). Winner will be announced Tuesday morning.
Now head over to SYTYC for Week FOUR: Turkey:
And as always.....Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. It's pretty fun.

Katie said...

I love these bags! Would it be considered a faux pas to put things other than greens in the 'greens' bag? = )

brittany, steve, and gabe said...

i love that the bag only fits one milk jug, because at 9 months pregnant, i find it annoying to have to lug two milk jugs in one bag! it is just too heavy for me!
