Back on the first of the year, the Shelburne Supermarket eliminated the use of plastic shopping bags and began a vehement push for the use of cloth and other reusable grocery bags. There were those that were skeptical, but so far we have received nothing but support and excitement. We thank you all for that.

Compared to last year, in just the first there weeks of the year, we have experienced a 64% increase in the number of reusable grocery bags used in our store! Almost 2,000 more bags used. We predict this percentage to increase as the year goes on.

Aside from the ChicoBags we are giving away with a $50 purchase, we also have new 99-cent reusable bags available for purchase. These very affordable bags are made of high-quality material and will last you a very long time! Plus, with our bag discount, use it twenty times and it’s already paid for itself!  

Thanks again to all of our customers for their support! We couldn’t do it without you!

Hoo-ah,
Kyle
