I was able to take a large glass mason jar to the market and have them fill with yogurt. This prevented purchasing 6-7 single use yogurt cups from the grocery store. A person goal is to cut back on purchasing single serve yogurt containers.

For those who are unaware, Target offers 5cents for every reusable bag you bring, up to 5 bags. So you can get 25 cents off your Target purchase for bringing your bags! Make sure to mention to your cashier or apply credit at self check out.

For my Clevelanders, yesterday I went to the West Side Market and took a bunch of plastic containers I had saved from my takeout (those standard black ones with clear tops that come with EVERY MEAL) and was able to have the vendors place food items directly into the containers. Instead of coming home with another 8 plastic To-Go containers, I took my own. I brought home yogurts, peanut butter, nuts, and grains without using any new disposable plastic. So WSM allows your own containers :)

I took my reusable cup to Starbucks yesterday to eliminate using a plastic one. They are officially accepting reusable cups again AND giving a 10 cent discount for bringing your own!
