Plus, don't want to be the senior citizen who can't pack heavy bags until absolutely necessary. I actually like to bag my own groceries--rather sort in the store than when I get home.Fayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10227397761350236459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8557876801421601291.post-45327796846853023592009-09-14T19:22:28.218-04:002009-09-14T19:22:28.218-04:00I haven't paid for a single bag - whenever I c...I haven't paid for a single bag - whenever I come across a freebie - I take advantage of it.BShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14825193282407371791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8557876801421601291.post-41587753922818995222009-09-14T17:03:21.316-04:002009-09-14T17:03:21.316-04:00I don't mind using the cloth bags.

WD and Albertsons bags quickly got rips in them (along the bottom where there would be the worst consequences). The Publix and Wal-Mart bags I've had were terrific though - pretty strong and they hold a lot. I think I want to make my own though...Sayrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16350593991157139017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8557876801421601291.post-40702872382794001582009-09-14T12:04:35.011-04:002009-09-14T12:04:35.011-04:00A lot of my bags have been presents so I haven'...A lot of my bags have been presents so I haven't needed to buy many. The plastic ones are often bags for life (means the store will replace if they rip and they recycle the plastic) which is another good idea.ChrisBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06958330170295676200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8557876801421601291.post-88473394574137136722009-09-14T11:54:15.993-04:002009-09-14T11:54:15.993-04:00I despise plastic bags, the old paper bag holds wa...I despise plastic bags, the old paper bag holds way more. I know we should help our environment and I do recyle the plastics. I am with you about buying the bags...why should I give the store money for one of their reusable bags, that would give them free advertisement and I paid for it.Janishttp://lifeaccordingtojanandjer.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8557876801421601291.post-38478575523750084332009-09-14T10:17:30.108-04:002009-09-14T10:17:30.108-04:00Something else that doesn't need it's own ...Something else that doesn't need it's own bag, a 3pk of tissues, why they insist on doing that when you can't even hold the bag closed with it in there is beyond me. I've taken to just telling them NOT to put my puffs with aloe in a bag. Now if I could just switch to hankies instead. Sigh. I agree that about 6 bags would be okay, or you could do like we do when we go to Aldi and that's take a cooler or plastic totes and 'bag' ourselves in the parking lot. Wish all stores did that. I bag better than the cashiers most of the time and I've never worked at WalMart.jillhttp://lilmouse.blogsite.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8557876801421601291.post-52762363852464009682009-09-14T08:23:06.875-04:002009-09-14T08:23:06.875-04:00Hello my friend!

Pfft...the day I decide whether I like a person based upon what they carry their groceries in, is the day that I'll really need to get a life! <br /><br />Each of us needs to do whatever works best for ourselves and our unique situations. And now that plastic bags can be recycled anyway - it's really a matter of choice. There are definitely pros and cons for plastic and reusables alike! <br /><br />Thanks for playing Fun Monday, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the fabulous Jan! I will scoot over there now and give her my best.margarethttp://misformisanthrope.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8557876801421601291.post-48675292432621776292009-09-14T06:56:27.217-04:002009-09-14T06:56:27.217-04:00I find the more groceries you have, the better the...I find the more groceries you have, the better they work, an overflowing cart only takes about 6 to 8 bags, and about 10 for the larger carts. And all mine fold up and fit in one or two of my reusable bags (no extra tote necessary). It's not that hard not to be be resource wasteful.willowtreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09173637121496772685noreply@blogger.com
