Do you use reuseable bags at the supermarket?

Question

I do when I remember to put them back in my car.

Answer 1

Sometimes, when I remember.  I have them in my car but I don't always remember to bring them into the store.

Answer 2

We do, but like you we often forget

Answer 3

Yes. I used to forget to bring bags, but now I always keep bags in my handbag for that purpose: A couple of plastic ones that fold down small, and a couple of tote bags that are sturdier but take up more space. Luckily I have a large handbag!

Answer 4

yes

Answer 5

Yes, always. At first, I forgot that I already had five in the car!

Now it's a habit to take them in with me. I even see other people go back to their car for theirs. If I forget, I buy another one for a euro, rather than use a plastic bag. Or I'll take a cardboard box and recycle that later.

Answer 6

No, I like the plastic bags.  They are great for carrying things home and they are also great for holding leaky garbage.

Answer 7

Yep!

Answer 8

I always use reusable bags. I am living in Malaysia and here the cashiers at the supermarket pack your things by default in plastic bags and they only pack them half full. It makes me sick to see that every shopper normally comes out with an average of 5 bags each ... such a waste!

Answer 9

Yes, and when I forget them I buy more.

However, I have an issue with the Sobey's bags. The Sobey's ones I have are cloth with some kind of a plastic coating. For me, much of the purpose in buying these bags was to keep plastic out of landfills. Now I recognize that I still save alot of plastic bags when I use one of my re-useables, but eventually if my Sobey's bag is damages and I throw it out, it will end up in a landfill and take a long time to biodegrade. I have a couple from President's Choice that are some kind of canvas cloth, without the plastic, and I like them much better.
