do you take your own grocery bags to the store

I love my blue fabric bag from Hyvee that says "This bag is Green"!! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!

I too have several and about the end of every week I accumilate them from my kitchen. Fold them up nicely and then tuck them between my passenger seat and my console to wait on the next trip to the store. I hate it when I am with a friend and I don't have my fabric bags. But I do bring the plastic ones home and send them to the recycling center!!!

Pats on the back to all the recycling/green people!!!

I usually take my own...however there are times I don't and that's fine...I use them for poop bags with the dogs or they carry wet clothes from being at the lake or even taking my left over stale bread to the park to feed the ducks. Plastic gets recycled in this house...always.

ABSOLUTELY!

They're much bigger, the handles don't break, and are WAY easier to carry up the stairs from my subterranean parking garage to my townhouse. And yes. I wash mine weekly.

Most of the time i do, they cost $0.90 a bag and they hold more and I don't really have to worry as much about them ripping on me. I even have an insulated bag for my frozen. I like it because the plastic ones just build up around my house.

After spending a while in Canada (a month long vacation in Ottawa to be exact), I came home and have wanted to start using reusable bags! I just want to find one I like!

Thankfully all the plastic bags I do have are reused or donated instead of just tossed.
There is a local thrift area in my town that just recently opened up and they are always looking for more bags. So I've been saving up all the ones I get to give to them! I love those people. I have found some amazing finds there.

Yep I use them 9 out of 10 times (sometimes I'm just a pure airhead and forget my bags...my list...my debit card...)

I can't tell you how many times I've watched my dozen Born Free Cage Free eggs crash to the ground because a plastic bag ripped...that is when I started buying reusable bags and for the most part, I use them every time.

We don't use reusable bags...but always take paper to reuse here at home or wherever...it does make me chuckle tho when I am bagging the groceries next to a person that brought their bags from home, and if it doesn't all fit, they grab plastic bags...kinda doesn't make sense....and then a few tines we leave the store at the same time and they're getting into Excursions or Suburbans!

I do when i shop at Aldi...not so much when i shop at wal-mart, simply because they make it awkward to bring your own bag..like where the heck would you put it to put groceries in? but i do the majority of my shopping at Aldi anyways and i love the reusable bags!
