I’ll be honest - I’m living for these videos. The clothes hauls, grocery hauls, chats in the dressing room! It’s giving me old school KZbin and I’m here for it

To give you a little bit of hope, I live in the state of New York and there are no plastic bags at the grocery store. We have to bring our own reusable bags!

[@ivyc7336]

No plastic bags are in California stores as well unless you purchase them just like in the UK. There are also no plastic straws allowed in fast food drinks (only paper straws).

[@chelseaalexis1995]

Same with Oregon! Definitely depends on the state you’re in!

Every baby comes with blessings. It can be financially, spiritually, with some type of blessing. Sometimes, we wonder how things are falling into place or if it's all manifested, but truely, it's the child that comes with blessings for us.

Hi Elle, Just a heads-up: Bring your pre-purchased (50¢ - $2.00+) reusable tote bags to the food shops. If you don't, the cashiers/checkers automatically use the store's plastic bags to pack your items. Every shop sells reusable tote bags: Trader Joe's, Walmart, Target, TJ Maxx, Marshall's, Home Goods, Ralph's, Vons, Stater Bros., Sprouts, Erewhon, Pavillions, etc. They are generally located at the checkout. If you don't see them there, be sure to ask. The cashiers usually will ask you if you need any bags. If you say yes, then they will start loading the plastic bags. Also, add A+D First Aid Ointment to your shopping list for emergencies like burns or cuts. A+D First Aid Ointment is a fabulous product (check out the entire product line) that should be on hand in your First Aid kits in your kitchen, bathrooms, car vehicles, makeup bag, sports bag, etc. This product works wonders and is not sold in the UK. That is why KZbinrs like Josie, make a point of purchasing this product every time they visit the USA. ❤🤍💙🥰

[@AC-ln2uk]

I lived in LA and New York back in 2014-2019 and it really frustrated me how they use plastic bags like its nothing, and just like Elle said for just one item, or even worse double bagging one item. I used to take my own bags in and have to have a mini fight with the cashier to stop her using new ones and just accept I wanted to reuse my bags to be eco friendly, they just couldn’t understand it! It’s good to see in other comments that NYC has caught up, as it really concerns me that such a huge country is so wasteful, and it doesn’t surprise me that it still is. I LOVE USA, but please help yourselves when you suffer with so many problems, as well as the rest of us. On another note, Elle.. you and Connor are just the most wonderful parents, it is a joy to see parents who always put their babies first and teach them they are loved above and beyond, while showing them two parents who are together on everything, you are a joy to watch. Keep doing you my two boo’s😂😘🥰🙏🏻xx

We moved from Cambridge UK to the Houston suburbs and had all our UK furniture shipped over and found that all the UK beds will not fit a US mattress. We have a super king very expensive bed frame and had to recently replace the mattress nothing fit, it was either the right width but not in length or length but not width. Had to have a UK mattress shipped to us so we didn't have to buy a new bed. If you want fresh vegs and fruit find a local farmers market they are usually open on weekends and there are a few British Markets as well. Welcome to Houston!

You can get paper bags at most grocery stores… Also, all of the stores have recycling bins for the plastic bags to be recycled

I think you need to be able to handle some criticism, I am American but have lived in multiple european countries and none of them (especially not germany) would they use plastic bags the way they do here in the US

@@AC-iw5mv Lmao… I didn’t say they did or didn’t use more or less. Apparently you can’t comprehend anything. Also, I have NO problem with criticism… pointing out facts about a topic doesn’t mean someone unable to handle criticism… it’s called having a conversation.

In Australia (an even tinier island than UK) don’t use plastic basically at all. We can’t purchase plastic bags, we can only buy reusable bags or cardboard bags. Our fruit don’t come in any bags, you just grab it and put it in your own reusable bag. You can’t get ANY plastic straws, plates, or cups etc at any store in Australia. You should’ve moved here 😉

[@aliceinwonderland.2080]

I believe there are some farmers’s markets in your area which would, I imagine, have fresh fruit, veg,cheese,meats,fish etc and a wide variety of produce which would possibly be cheaper than a supermarket.

[@sugarfreenatalie2377]

And won’t be packed in plastic

[@nikkirios7792]

If you have reusable tote you can bring it with you and tell the cashier to put in your own bag and not use plastic. Also there are Trader Joe’s in Texas and I believe you have two in Houston area.

[@loripick8511]

Walmart and Target recycle the bags you bring them back. Also you just need to bring reusable bags in any store you shop and use your own bags. They sell bags in the store just not at the checkout. But that should change! 😊

A lot of places in the US charge for plastic bags but don’t have them readily available at checkout to buy. BUT I find the ones you buy in stores not to be the best quality and rip along the seams. I bought reusable bags from Amazon and I’ve been using them for years and they rolls up and fit in a small storage bag you can store in the car. I believe the brand I have are from Bee Green

Walmart sells the reusable bags near the checkout. It's in all Walmart stores so you can just bring your own reusable bags to the counter that you already have that you've already purchased. Or you can purchase them prior to checking out. Put them on the counter, have them scanned or scan them yourself and then you can put your groceries in them. They're at every single Walmart near the checkout. They have them at all the Aldi's as well. They have them at all. Winn-Dixies and Publix grocery stores. I'm not sure about Target.

I used to use the plastic shopping bags as waste bin bags for small bins around the house if you have that and want to find a reusable option for them?

[@vanessahinds8320]

Walmart has reusable bags available to buy in store. I carry my own and my favorite store has the option for paper bags. Kroger delivery will take your plastic bags when they deliver your new order. It does not matter what store your bags are from, they will recycle them for you.

[@ivyc7336]

Coastal Cowgirl style suits you Elle! Omg Romeo was too cute at his photo shoot and together with Saint...adorbs! 📸 They give a lot of plastic bags out here in the DFW (Dallas/Fort Worth) area as well, but if you bring your own bags & let them know then they will not pack your items in a plastic bag. Some stores even give you a bag credit for bringing your own bags. We do our very best to recycle at home and use totes whenever we shop. 🛍

I think you'll love Boot Barn. Beautiful clothes, jewelry and of course cowboy boots and hats. Just a tip if you're putting the candle outside, if it's made of wax, even the flameless ones have wax, it will melt in the Houston heat. Learn from my mistake, I now have a wonky candle 😂 You're right it was Jared Leto playing the "bad guy". We watched that film a couple of weeks ago, it actually managed to keep my husband awake!! Rami Malek is the other actor you're thinking of. As to the grocery packing, they are taught not to put too many items in a bag and that things like bread and eggs go in single bags, just as they won't put cleaning supplies in with food. It's to stop customers complaining about damaged goods. Personally, I throw everything into a bag but that's ok because it's my stuff. You were in my neighbourhood in this vlog! Romeo is adorable, there is nothing better than baby giggles.
