• 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%26#039;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.
• 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%26#039;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 ..)
