grocery bags

This post is about poop.  Yes, poop.  Cat poop in particular.  I provide my kitties with a blue litter box that sits in the corner of my living room.  I also maintain this litter box daily by cleaning out the presents that they leave there.  Essential to completing this task are grocery bags (typically from Kroger but really any plastic bag will do).  Back in the day when I cohabited with Papa Cat there was much more grocery shopping and therefore many more grocery bags on hand to dispose of scooped poop.  Now, however, I never go to the grocery store because as a relatively short vegetarian my body simply does not require much food.  Papa Cat, on the other hand, ate meat and ate a lot--this translated into weekly trips to the grocery store with the average Kroger receipt around $160.  That provided us with tons of plastic baggies for the poop, more than we could ever exhaust.  In addition, we would buy items from Whole Foods sporadically throughout the week (i.e. endless bags!).  But now it's just me, my scarce fridge, and one cabinet filled with dry foods.  Below are actual images of my fridge and 'pantry.'  Please note that the majority of the cabinet space is filled with dry pasta.

I have not been to a grocery store since my first week here, nor do I need to.  And as expected, I have two plastic Target bags left.  I plan to go to Kroger today and buy items that I kind of need in order to replenish my supply of poop bags.  It is quite odd how my eating habits could have such a direct impact on cleaning my cats' litter box.  But honestly, without baggies where would I put the poop?
