One mom I worked with at school once brought about 100 paper bags for bag check for a dance. I asked her how she collected so many, she told me she never uses reusable because they hold GERMS!! Of course I still see her exit the store with 10+ paper bags often.... I'm not judging though!!

You can toss them in with the wash. They hold a lot of weight and fit a lot, squash down into nothing. My problem is they are so useful that I end up using them for other things too and then i don't have enough in the car for the groceries. I also ordered some old-fashioned stretchy string bags from Amazon and they are different but kind of useful and fun too. I'm probably batting about .500 for remembering to take them to the store. When I forget, they'll give me plastic bags for free (or paper if I ask for them, also free). There is a big bin outside the store where you can bring back your plastic bags to be recycled, so that's what I do. There is no shame where I live. I'd say maybe only 25% of people at best are bringing their own bags. I never see the plastic bags in the trees or on the roads, though. catehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17121234545386465542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5901268365510893153.post-47029268731919964212014-07-17T12:26:31.153-07:002014-07-17T12:26:31.153-07:00As with most things in America, the bag controvers...As with most things in America, the bag controversy seems to pretty much be based on class. If the lower class had a half a chance to make a decent salary they might take more pride in how those highways look.
