Tip of the day

Bring your own bags to the store.  Not only are these much easier to carry when you are balancing everything else—keys to open the door, purse, child in hand/tow, etc—but they could also save you a little money.  Stores like CVS and Target offer a discount on your purchases (5 cts at Target, and you must buy a card to scan at CVS).  Other stores like Earth Fare donate money to a local charity each time you use your own bags.
