[SustainableTompkins] Trader Joe's and reusable shopping bags

[Thomas Shelley]

Dear Friends--From an e-mail correspondent I have learned that Trader 
Joe's, a grocery store chain covering much of the US (nothing in NY outside 
of the NY City Metro area, however), has started a bring your own bag 
campaign.    If you bring your own canvas bag to their store or if you buy 
one of their canvas bags, they put your name in a drawing every time that 
you use it. The drawing is for $100.00 worth of groceries.  Sometimes they 
have a special where they give customers a small percentage off their 
grocery bill when they use one of the Trader Joe's bags.  This isn't just a 
trend anymore, it's a movement!  Have a wonderful day.   Tom
