  1. I love the carabiner clip for the bags - I don't know why that didn't occur to me sooner! Austin has a no bag rule so you have to take your own grocery totes in with you.

  2. I love the carabiner clip idea, though I'd keep in on my bags. I hate bulky key rings! ;-) Also, what is that piece called that is hanging from your laundry soap dispenser? That's a nifty idea that I'd like to do to keep my dispenser from leaking!
