The Prize Patrol Wants to Catch You In the Act!

If you get caught this week packing your groceries into reusable bags, you may be in for a treat. In an effort to encourage shoppers to get away from plastic and go with more earth friendly reusable bags, the City’s “Where’s Your Bag?” campaign will be sending out Prize Patrols searching for people, perhaps you, using their reusable bags. If you're the chosen one, you'll be videotaped by City TV and given a bag of goodies from the “Where’s Your Bag?” partners. The prize patrol will be camping out this week at Albertson’s, Foodland, Lazy Acres, Ralph’s, Santa Cruz Markets, Scolari’s, Tri-County Produce, and Vons.
