Bag some extra cash. If you take reusable bags to stores, many retailers will give you discounts or rewards, usually 5 cents a pop, that will apply the next time you shop. But if you use self-checkout, you might have to ask for assistance, because the discounts aren’t always programmed into those registers.
CVS gives you $1 in Extra Bucks Rewards every fourth time you use your own bag, but you have to buy a 99-cent bag tag first. It all adds up, so check the register and if you don’t see your discount, ask!

I did not know that about CVS--that is good to know, thanks!
