I have like 4, but always forget to take them out of the car and end up using plastic bags instead

I don't. I use the plastic bags for my refuse, saves on buying bin liners.

Yeah, those large expensive bags propose that whatever your bringing somewhere can be contained in one bag. I reuse my thousands of plastic bags to carry various types of screws I don't want to be mixed up, or just to carry lunches each day. Too large and goonee and expensive.

I just don't use plastic bags. Usually, I don't buy anything that requires a bag. If the push comes to shove, I'll get one, but not for something like a book or sandwich. Therefore, I see no point in bags for life either.

Of course. We got them free from Central Market.

Yes. We keep these cloth bags in our car, even though some of them are ripped/stained.

Plastic. The reusable ones look stupid, and often take up a lot of space.

I refuse to use throw-away bags for such a frequent purpose as buying groceries. Instead, I've collected the hair of my two pet dogs and have woven them together into an all-natural, 100% environmentally friendly bag that I bring with me everywhere. And when I buy products that come in glass and plastic containers, I track down the company that packages them and ship back their containers so that they don't take up space in landfills.


Yeah, I use plastic.

As of tomorrow, we don't have a choice. It's good to be South Australian!*

We get plastic bags from the supermarket each monthly shop, then we use those for our bin. So they're not waste at all.

In lieu of bags, I simply juggle my groceries as I'm walking home.

I can't believe I hadn't thought of this.
