HEB Free re-usable grocery bag on Earth Day

April 22 is Earth Day. In recognition, HEB is giving away re-usable grocery bags. You must exchange 5 plastic bags to get the one free. This was found at the Katy store, but others might do it also.

I will ask my DS since he works at HEB(Tomball) to find out if they are doing it at that store location.
Thanks Erin for the head's up.
Do you know what kind of bag its going to be? I have 4 of the HEB canvas bags. LOVE them!!!

Ok just got off the phone with the HEB in Tomball (off 2920 &249) with the store manager and he said they are going to be doing this and there is a limit they are going to try to stick by, one per person. But he said nothing says you cant go to many HEB's and do this.
Oh also it has to be HEB plastic bags. No Kroger, Wal-Mart, Target or Randall's.

oh, it has to be HEB bags turned in? Cause they did it in Austin last month and they took any bags.

Hummm...good thing there is a plastic recycle bin there, lol

the ones they are giving are the ones they sell for .99� in the store

That is what that store manager told me but that doesnt mean other stores wont take any bags. Plastic is plastic whether there is the store name on it or not.

They are green and one tip, this is from getting the blue one's from Kroger, whatever you do dont let them put canned or heavy items in these bags. I have had 2 bags split at the seams when they put canned items in these bags. I always ask them to put boxed or lighter items in these bags.
I was hoping it would the canvas totes, darn.
