• I reuse them at home for garbage liners, a lunch bag for work, and cleaning the litter box. One of the local health food stores takes 5 cents off your total if you have your own bag. I would bring my own if the stores started charging, I sure have enough of them at home!
• I reuse them as trash bags and i take them to stores so i can reuse them
• I bring my own canvas bags to the supermarket, and sometimes to other stores when I remember.
• DON%26#039;T USE THEM
  we brought some bags that can be used over %26amp; over again 16
• I take my own bag nowadays,its strronger and you get a green point at tescos, wipeeeeeee :)
• i wash mine out, reuse them to store jumpers in my wardrobe.
  i use a travel bag to bring shopping home.
• Yes I take used bags to the supermarket to use again and I line my rubbish bins with them.
  
  I should be glad to see them banned or a hefty charge for fresh bags.
• I carry a foldaway bag I got at the Green Festival in my purse. However, if I have a large haul, and I need another bag, I get plastic, and I use them for carrying my lunch to work, in my purse in case I need it for something else, and for cleaning the cat box.
• Most definitely !!! I have a bag full in my car, one for eventuality of use in my handbag and another bag full in the kitchen cupboard to use for all sorts of things. I recently crochet a small bag out of various coulored plastic bag strips. For my first attempt - not bad.
• yes i do where i rememebr or i take canvas reusable bags. I am a recycling officer so I promote these sorts of things. I do forget just like anyone else but if there was a charge it might help me forget a little less often
• I have so many sport and tote bags I have started to use them for shopping, they have shoulder straps and are a lot easier to carry. I use the smaller reusable bags or, God forbid, plastic bags for meat, juice, milk and frozen items that could drip or sweat.
• I have my own reusable cloth bags.
  
  They sell for less than a dollar, hold a lot more and I don%26#039;t have to worry about them tearing.
• i work for a supermarket.
  and i can say that most ppl have good intentions but forget to bring them in to use again!
  i think with an extra push ppl would have to remember.
