I got the back porch tumbler composter from Gardener’s Supply…not cheap, but keeps all the tasty kitchen scraps locked away until they decompose enought to add to regular compost. And it’s got wheels!
Whee….

Lisa,

Another great tip to try, and I’m sure I’d be right there with you thinking that I’ve lost my wallet, glasses, etc.

I’m looking to upgrade to a Mid-life crisis model myself any particular brand better than others?

Cindy,

I will definitely give your tip a try, writing it on the list and keeping them in the front seat. I’ll let you know if it works.

All really good tips, Heather!
The bag thing is hard for me too. You’d think it’d be so simple, but nooooo! The only way I can remember is to put my purse inside one of the bags–’course then I run around thinking I’ve lost my purse about half the time…along w/my glasses and car keys, that takes a good portion of my day.
I got a tumbler-style composter after some rodent problems w/the 3 bin system…spouse refers to it as the midlife crisis model, sporty and accerlates 0 to over 5 spins a minute.

“Someone please tell me why can’t I ever remember to bring them (the bags) with me when I go shopping”
When I start a list for the store the first word I write at the top in all caps is BAGS.
It also helps to keep them in the front seat. After awhile it will become more of a habit as you will get out of the car you will feel like you are missing something when you head into the store.
Silly hint but it helped me.
