That's like 8 bags I didn't bring into existence.

Lately I've been carrying sturdy plastic bags with me to waterproof my Xtracycle. So when I headed to the market to buy supplies for Bike Blended Smoothies on a rainy night in SF this past weekend, I just grabbed the bag I had with me. As I went through the produce section, I started putting all the separate fruits in their own bags, which I then would put in my basket. Then I started thinking, "so many bags". So I just put everything in my sturdy plastic bag, as an experiment. It all made it back fine to my place, though checking out took a little longer than usual. 1 bag not 9
