This message from Target: On Sunday, April 18, the first day of Earth Week, Target is giving away 1.5 million reusable bags at stores nationwide in collaboration with Tide, GE and Coca-Cola. The exclusive reusable bags are made from 100% post-consumer recycled PET (plastic bottles). Customers can use this bag or any other reusable bag to receive a 5-cent discount per bag each time they shop at Target. Bags will be given away with purchase and quantities are limited.

Why can't I remember to bring my re-usable bag when I shop at Target? I rarely forget it when I shop ALdi. I guess I know that Aldi charges me for bags. Was there ever a better sign that I really am cheap?
