Lately, there's been a front-page discussion going on in our city and province about the possible reduction, or outright ban on plastic bags at most major grocery stores, etc.
There's the regular arguments about "plastic v.s paper", the environmental issues now causing people to decide to "bring their own", or to buy reuseable ones that some stores and markets now offer to their customers, and so on.
For us, we do a pretty big weekly shopping trip, and although we bring back the used plastic bags for recycling, we still let them bag in plastic at our Safeway.
But just this week, I bought one of their new 99 cent bags for other trips there, for smaller lists to carry home? And I was actually surprised how big the bag was! So, they've got us for one bag so far, heh heh.
What do you use/like/prefer in a bag to carry your stuff home? And why?
