I always forget to! Some stores in brooklyn are bag-free to reduce waste. And in my parents' city, it's mandatory to charge for bags (I think it's 5 or 10 cents).
Do you bring your own bags?
-
I don't. I should, but I always forget. :T
-
I always forget. I need to keep them in my car!
-
I do. We have a ton of leftover out-of-town bags from our wedding with our family crest on them that I use. They're much bigger/stronger for carrying groceries home in our urban setting.
-
I keep a bag in my purse. They charge here too.
-
I forget too. I've remembered maybe 4 times this past year? Haha.
-
I bring them to the store, in the car, and then promptly forget them in the trunk. Doh!
-
No, never.
-
Always! I don't go grocery shopping unless I have my bags!
-
I always forget! I should keep one in my purse or something.
-
Always! I love using them. I don't have to make as many trips carrying groceries because they hold so much.
-
Almost always. I have quite a collection now of shopper bags and people are pretty conscious about it around here.
-
I do! I keep them in my trunk so I don't forget them at home.
-
Yup, i bring bags and a plastic green basket. I'm so mad though...someone stole our bags when DH was at Costco!! Who steals grocery bags??
-
Most of the time I do. I have it in my car and I had bought the Costco pack (one XL, one L, and one L cooler style) and love those. I usually bring the L one to the smaller markets so I don't have to have multiple bags to carry into the house. One time I went to Buy Buy Baby in MD and didn't know (more like forgot b/c I do remember hearing in the news a while back) that they charge for bags and noticed a charge on my receipt and I asked why they charged me for a bag and the lady said "it's the law." I said, "Well, I live in VA." I thought she should have asked me even if "it's the law." I was a little grumpy when I said it too. So I told her I didn't want the bag and to refund me the bag charge. Had she asked me about charging me for the bag I would have just let it go and bought it.
-
Yup! I have a few sturdy ones I made myself out of canvas, and for my job I go to a lot of community outreach events where they give you a bag to hold all the pamphlets and things, but are very sturdy for groceries, too. For each bag you bring my grocery store gives you a discount of 10 cents.
Though I might "forget" the next time we go to the store, we are almost out of plastic bags! We use them as garbage can liners in the bathroom & desk area.
-
@LazyLightning: Ugh I hate when that happens!
-
I used to be good about it, but have stopped long ago. If I shop at Aldi, I have to because they don't provide bags unless you purchase one.
-
Always. I forgot a few times when pregnant (darn that pregnancy brain!) and couldn't believe how many plastic bags we ended up with!
-
I keep my bags with the grocery cart cover in the van
so its easy to remember. -
I do grocery shopping and at CVS, but no where else (we need plastic bag/dog scooping liners!)
-
I have a stack of bags in my trunk and always forget to bring them in! Bad me!
-
I do! I've gotten a lot better at remembering them. I think I should start using them when I shop at Target though. I have SO many Target plastic bags.
-
@caffeinated: Oh man, I hope that was a mistake and not an on-purpose theft.
-
@caffeinated: WTH?! Bad karma for a wanna-be-green person? Shame on them! Though I have was worried about my "cuter" bags and especially my Trader Joe's cooler bag one when I was in the crazy Thanksgiving crowd last week!
-
i try to, but sometimes i forget to restock them in my car!
-
@shopaholic: @woodentulip: They took his cart, which contained the bags. I told him to never leave an empty cart unguarded! I was not happy since he took all of my cute farmer's market bags that i've collected over the years.
-
I keep my re-usable bags in my diaper bag (they are nice eco-sacks that roll up and have a snap closure) so I always have them with me.
-
Usually, sometimes I forget but I always keep a few bags in my car.
-
Yup! Most of the time.
-
No, I always forget. I save all of our grocery bags for my best friend who lives in a city where they don't offer bags and you have to pay for them if you need one.
-
No. I don't think I ever have.
-
Nope! We like to have the plastic bags for dog poop, so I'm guilty of occasionally double bagging items that don't need it!
-
Hardly ever, I always forget! I used to be way better at it before LO entered the picture but now I'm always in a rush to leave the house/store.
