Do you leave your reusable shopping bags in the car ready for your next shop?
Do you always forget to take them into the shop when you get there and then have to buy more like I do?
Try this little hidden trick on google - on your mobile search for "shopping bag reminder" in Google.
This will give you a popup reminder box allowing you to set by time or location. simply type the name of the supermarkets you use and their location or postcode and whenever you are near you get a reminder to take your bags in.
hope it helps someone.

You know parts of the brain shut down if you don't use them, it's like old married couples where one becomes incapable of driving in later life because the other person is perceived to be better at it and always does it. Do you really want Google to do your thinking for you?

I'm a dum ass and keep forgetting to take my bags into shop then rant to myself at tills. I balance my express ready meals plus supplies and walk like I soiled myself in a bid to make it back to the car. Im to tight to cough up 5p for a bag plus the... Save the planet and all that... Will try this trick.

Am I missing something? Surely if you're near the supermarket, it's already too late to remind you?

It's not, apart from letting Google know your every move and shopping habits, it's more spyonmeware....than reminderware.....

The reminder helps get into the habit of grabbing the bags after parking the car.
Not sure why you're shooting down the idea of technology helping people. Have you ever used an alarm clock?

you've almost convinced me but I already get angry at the checkout machines giving me orders without adding to this
