It doesn't take us long to go through them all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/paper-plastic-or-reusable#post-377334 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 09:21:59 +0000 dagret 377334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Reusable, then plastic, which we reuse as garbage can liners or to clean up after the dog. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/paper-plastic-or-reusable#post-377246 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 06:46:55 +0000 Cherrybee 377246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You can't get paper bags here so it's plastic or re-useable. We've got so many re-useable bags - in the house, in the cars - but do we ever remember to take them into the shop? Do we heck!!! So plastic bags it is every.single.time! I always use the plastic bag afterwards though - as poop scoop bags when I walk the dogs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/paper-plastic-or-reusable#post-377245 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 06:46:16 +0000 Mrs. Tricycle 377245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always reusable. You can cram a lot more into a reusable bag, which means fewer trips from the car to the kitchen. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/paper-plastic-or-reusable#post-377244 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 06:34:48 +0000 SugarplumsMom 377244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You have to buy the bags here. So you have the option of picking how many use want to use. The options are paper, plastic, and a thick reusable one with the shop's logo. People usually bring their own plastic bags. But we like to buy them and use them for trash bags. There's no waste since everyone pays for them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/paper-plastic-or-reusable#post-377240 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 06:08:26 +0000 Pink Champagne 377240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Paper! They are perfect for collecting our recyclables! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/paper-plastic-or-reusable#post-377198 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 00:40:42 +0000 pinkcupcake 377198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We try to use reusable bags as often as possible. We will use plastic if we forget but I always reuse them in trash cans or to pick up dog poop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/paper-plastic-or-reusable#post-374713 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 10:57:12 +0000 Mrs. Lantern 374713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our stores don't give out plastic bags, but you can purchase them there. We almost always use reusable bags...if we forget, we load the cart directly into our car!</p> <p>I'm in support of cities banning the use of plastic bags. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/paper-plastic-or-reusable#post-374691 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 10:50:04 +0000 DillonLion 374691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Plastic, but we always save them and use them for other stuff. We have a ton of reusable bags at home but I use them to take stuff to work/pack stuff for the dog/etc. We don't usually use them for groceries. (Reusable bags at the grocery store gross me out. I don't know where your bag has been. And then my food just touched the same conveyor belt as your dirty bag) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/paper-plastic-or-reusable#post-374684 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 10:47:13 +0000 heffalump 374684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Reusable. Unless we're running out of doggy poo bags, then plastic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/paper-plastic-or-reusable#post-374650 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 10:35:42 +0000 tororojo 374650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We usually get plastic, or if it's small I ask for no bag and just use my purse. I wish I could remember to bring reusable bags! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/paper-plastic-or-reusable#post-374070 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 23:03:41 +0000 Grace 374070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Reusable for groceries, plastic for everything else because I forget to take one in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/paper-plastic-or-reusable#post-373566 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 20:17:30 +0000 JerricaBenton 373566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have reusable. I've collected a lot so I have enough to use all the time. I don't use them at like, Target so I have some plastic bags that I keep to reuse for tying up food garbage etc. I also have reusable produce bags! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/paper-plastic-or-reusable#post-373528 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 20:08:37 +0000 anonysquire 373528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: I just have never gotten into it. I do use reusable cups at work sometimes but I guess I just don't pay attention to that stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/paper-plastic-or-reusable#post-373515 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 20:04:16 +0000 Alivoo01 373515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends on where I shop at. If I shop at Aldi, I bring my own reusable bags because they don't provide bags. Elsewhere, I just get the plastic bag provided by the store. We do reuse those bags though as trash bags for small trash cans or as storage bags for transporting items. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/paper-plastic-or-reusable#post-373506 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 20:01:03 +0000 chopsuey 373506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually paper bags.

Plastic makes me crazy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/paper-plastic-or-reusable#post-373421 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 19:43:08 +0000 Boogs 373421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually reusable, especially since you have to at most stores around here unless you want to pay for a bag. My local grocery store still offers plastic, so I use them sometimes because I like to reuse them around the house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/paper-plastic-or-reusable#post-373411 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 19:41:19 +0000 Weagle 373411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually forget the reusable bags, and usually forget to ask for paper (which we use more in our house), so plastic it is! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/paper-plastic-or-reusable#post-373409 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 19:40:59 +0000 mrsjyw 373409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we use a mix of all three, but usually just plastic! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/paper-plastic-or-reusable#post-373406 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 19:40:38 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 373406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use reusable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/paper-plastic-or-reusable#post-373404 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 19:40:07 +0000 Mrs. Pen 373404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>reusable all the way :) if I forget reusables, I use paper instead.

I'll often not take a bag from a store too if I already have a bag I can fit the item(s) in. Still, I have TONS of plastic bags that I can never seem to finish using and donate them when I can. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/paper-plastic-or-reusable#post-373373 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 19:32:05 +0000 Bao 373373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use the plastic bags and re-use them for cat litter, bathroom trash, taking things to other peoples houses, dirty diapers etc...I love being able to re-use them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/paper-plastic-or-reusable#post-373372 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 19:32:02 +0000 anonysquire 373372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Plastic then throw them away.

We try to use reusable bags, but don't have very many. We do get the plastic bags and reuse them around the house in our little garbage cans (bathroom, bedroom, etc). </p>
