Shop on a hot day and attack those bags with sweaty palms. Gee, usually I can part them with some rubbing of fingers.

I started a new habit - when I get out of the car, I toss a bottle of gel cleaner on my car seat - so no way can I plunk down in the car without grabbing the bottle and taking a shot of the stuff. I also wash my hands the second I enter the house, esp. before putting food away.
