What’s in the bag?

Once Again offered one of their reusable grocery bags. I was a bit skeptical of her bags only because it was a one layer bag with no lining and made from vintage fabrics. Boy was I wrong! This is one of the best bags that I use today, and use I have! The fabric is very sturdy; the bottom isn’t a seam but the fold of fabric which means that your bag won’t split like its plastic predecessor. All of the edges are searged instead of folded over for a finished hem. Don’t let that fool you, it’s pretty AND strengthens the bag!

I didn’t want to unfold this super cute bag and get it out of its perfectly ironed little package. The bag had been pressed so that it was folded so perfectly, but guess what? Even after you have used it and washed it, it folds up almost as nicely as the first time you pull it out of its minimalistic packaging.

Once Again uses recycled/upcycled materials such as vintage linens and clothing to make their products. I love this and have started picking up my own vintage linens from the local thrift stores, and scouring through my mother’s stash that she left me a few years ago.

How cute are these bags?!

I don’t like carrying those plain bags that you buy at the big box stores, but I also don’t like to bring home a ton of plastic bags. Our county doesn’t recycle, so that means I have to lug those plastic bags back to the store. Now I do like to keep a few of those nasty plastic bags to tie up stinky things for the garbage can, but all in all I really could live without them, especially after finding so many bags that work for me.

Now not all reusable bags are made equally, but this bag is the one I grab to stuff into my purse. It’s cute, it’s strong, it’s in my purse!

Alice, can you pick up the T.P.?

Growing up watching the Brady Bunch I thought that Alice was the best. She was always cooking and cleaning. I guess these days I’m the Alice of our Brady Bunch. In fact we look like the Brady Bunch when we are doing family activities most of the time, because with Scott’s niece we have the third girl with blonde curls.

I always seem to forget something at the store, and it’s a 30 miles round trip to pick up the laundry detergent that I forgot just yesterday. That’s money people! I do make my own detergent a lot of the times, but I have to order some of the products and shipping makes it almost impossible to make it affordable. On top of it, in this small town hE laundry detergent isn’t always the stores best deal or is there a great selection, much less getting something that’s natural. I know I have a laundry list of my wishes for my laundry detergent.

In walks Alice, or Alice.com that is.

I found this website that has everything! Well not everything, but those things that you use constantly like laundry detergent, dish soap, shampoo, dog food, snacks, etc. They have a great selection of natural and organic products to choose from on top of the regular every day brands we are used to seeing in the local WalMart. To top this off, they show the prices of the same item from other stores and are usually the better buy and add a coupon on top of that! Wow! I’m in love with Alice! Move over Scott! Lol!

I am placing an order for some natural cleaners that I can’t get locally, and I have added them to my product list. There is also a reminder that you can set that will remind you in 1-6 weeks or 2-6 months that you need toothpaste or TP.

What could be better than that? Well Free Shipping of course! And for signing up you get $10 back after you spend $50. So my total is cheaper than if I were to drive to get anything, much less the 110 mile round trip to the natural food store in Mobile! I’m doing the happy dance!

Would you use Alice to pick up your TP?
