Answer 7

Answer 8

You do pay already. It is in the price of anything you buy in a store that bags what you buy.

If you want a good reason to use your own larger cloth or canvas bags it is because they hold more and don't rip out making it easier to get from car to home!:)

Also most stores around here give you a 5 cent credit for each bag. only 100 trips to the store will pay for that bag ..)

Answer 9

i use them anyway but i guarantee people would use them if you let them know that they were going to be charged. people hate being charged for stuff.

Answer 10

Paper uses more energy to produce. I double the paper bags and reuse them over and over. Also, any large item i try not to have put into bags

Answer 11

Have a car full of enviro canvas bags, keep forgetting to take them with me into the supermarket with me......I am a dope. I will have to hang them around my neck like a necklace next time - don't care how bad it looks....I will be saving the environment.

Answer 12

here the bags cost and its very good because many people are reusing a old bag or dont take a bag if they just have little things to carry o have a bag.

Answer 13

In our town we have Save-alot, and they charge for bags.  People bring them back.  And they allow customers to use the card board boxes from the shelves.  I personally, pass on the card board, here it goes into the land fill if in residential trash.

There is also an Aldi's, here.   They require a quarter inserted to use a grocery cart.  You get a quarter back when you return the cart.  Never see carts around the outside of the store in the parking lot!

I use jute bags and my old book bag from college.  Reusable, and water proof.  I paid 3 dollars for the jute bags, from a school fund raiser, 2 years ago.
