    I always carry heavy duty cloth bags in my pickup and in the saddlebags on my motorcycle.

    But I don’t always remember to take some in the store.

    Bring my own unless I need a fresh paper bag for my recycling.

    I’m a cashier. I’ve seen this a million times. People who pile and pile their groceries onto the belt, not realizing that “tiny basket” is enormous.

    That’s why I use self checkout. I might occasionally forget to pay for the bags. I wonder what the markup is on those bags.

    The Costco here let’s you use your cart to bring your purchases to the car.

    Plods…. pretty much everywhere I shop allows that.

     

    Sometimes I buy a bag… especially if it’s raining, or I particularly like their bags…

    but I usually just take the cart out to my car, and load the groceries into the various types of bags I forgot to bring into the store.

     

    I also saved the thin ones, in a couple of those “bag socks” when I started to hear about a possible ban…

    actually, I often saved and re-used them before that.

    I still have quite a few, and I carry a couple folded up in my purse, and reuse them till they shred.

    I always have a thin cloth bag easily folded into a small pocket in my purse, in case I forgot my carry bag.

    We have so many cloth bags that we have bags to hold the bags; in each vehicle and by the front door (just in case).

    Here in the frozen north most grocery stores offer both paper and plastic. I use the paper ones for sorting and recycling cans, bottles and newspapers. I use the plastic one’s to line the small wastebaskets in places like bedrooms, bathrooms and beside my chairs in the living room and office.

    Stores spend a fortune enticing us to visit their store.. then want to charge us for the privilege of advertising for them. I refuse to play that game and use the cart to transport my stuff to the car.

    Don’t know what I’d do if I lived in an area that outlawed plastic bags. I use them to pick up the dog doo when we go for a walk. She weighs 90# so I definitely need something. Supposed I’d have to buy those plastic bags for it, trouble is they are designed for Rat dogs and are not great for larger dogs.

    I have nice sturdy bags all stacked inside each other and the shopping list clipped to the outside bag. Most of the bags came from environmental groups that I contribute to.

    40 cents is no big deal.

    I have a dufflebag which converts to a backpack. The bags some stores “give” you often break before you get to the car, and you can carry more on your back than in your arms.

    In California they charge 10 cents a bag that goes to the state, to stop “the environmental damage”, I would not mind the cost if it went to help the ecology, but it doesn’t it feeds Jerry’s Mad Projects i.e. Bullet train to nowhere and other crazy moon beam projects.
