Are you tired of all that paper and plastic bag waste every time you come home from the grocery store? The Hannaford stores in Augusta (two locations) and Winthrop, Maine, announced they are giving away free reusable, cloth bags to all customers starting the week of Saturday, July 25.
According to the article I read in the Lewiston Sun Journal, Hannaford customers currently bring home 12-15% of groceries sold in their own bags – Hannaford would like to increase this number. If you live in the Augusta area, this is a great opportunity to stock up on reusable bags and make a commitment to less waste – and remember, you can bring your reusable bags anywhere, not just the grocery store.
Don’t live in the Augusta area? You can get sturdy, reusable bags at any of our Goodwill stores for only $0.98!
