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.
ReplyDeleteYes, there are several cities around us that have no bag rules, too!
DeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteMary - that's a Tidy Cup drip catcher. You can find it here: http://amzn.to/1ekYO5U
