I cannot imagine a world where people don't come with bags or something to the counter. Are people actually just purchasing bags as they go?
Short answer: yes
Slightly longer answer: depens on where you live
In Singapore there was some pushback after supermarkets started charging for plastic bags (it used to be free for many years).
I'm a basket man.
I guess I'll be the one to mention Costco, and the recycleable boxes I take home instead.
Lol i started seeing people in my store use the same kind of trolly bag. I feel like a trend setter.
What bags aren't reusable?
I reuse disposable grocery bags all the time as little trash bags. For stuff like bathroom trash cans or messes like cat vomit.
I haven't seen plastic bags in years
It's illegal to outlaw plastic bags in Texas.
You're not serious, are you?
Wish I wasn't.
In Connecticut, towns started outlawing plastic bags but in Michigan it's not possible to pass town-specific laws like that according to a manager at the local recycling plant.
My partner and I just use big backpacks, easier than having to hold heavy bags in hand, especially since we don't drive.
Even if you do drive, one big-ass backpack is way more managable than any number of smaller bags or (god forbid) multiple trips.
The hard part for me is remembering to return it to the car once all the groceries are put up.
Same. That’s what I mean by reusable bag.
every bag is a reusable bag
I have some reusable plastic bags at home. Perhaps I should use them to take the pile of reusable plastic bags to the trash
I bring my own reusable bag nearly every time I do grocery shopping. But I also live in NYC, which might as well be a different planet compared to most of the US. It's a five minute walk (on sidewalks! Big ones!) to the grocery store.
