    Re: Do you use your own reusable grocery bags?

    When I take the wagon, the backpack or the bob trailer I don't use bags at all. When I have to take the truck I use paper or plastic bags for everything but the milk, beer, that sort of stuff, and bring them back to be recycled.

    '99 4Runner SR5 Highlander, manual w/locker. Stuff is starting to happen to this one too...but not too much stuff.

    Alot of stores up here now are switching to banning the plastic bags completely including many of the major grocery chains. We already use reusable bags and just leave them in the back of the vehicle so when you head into the store you just bring the bags with you. Honestly it takes maybe another 10 seconds max to use your own bags and after a while it just becomes second nature. It's a routine just like putting gas in your truck.

    I haven't started bringing my own, but I don't use them whenever possible. I'll take my stuff out of them and leave them with the clerk if they're not responsive to my request.

    Re: Do you use your own reusable grocery bags?

    i bought a couple when they first came out because our local store switched plastic bag companies, and they were thinner than onion skins, and about as strong. my mom still uses them, i dont so much because here at school i could never remember to bring them with.

    i usually reuse my plastic bags several times though, once they are done with groceries, they will serve as trash bags or as bags in the truck, when i go between home and school and need to carry shoes, they go in one. i never throw them away unless they are soiled. usually i will put them in the recycle, since they are HDPE and will recycle with milk jugs and the like.

    My wife does. She has a bag of bags in the back of the car. She gets them free from conferences and such. She does the shopping (food) so they're in the back of her car. Now, if I go to HomieD or somewhere else I usually come home with them. We use them when we clean out the little box.

    yeah we have an insulated one from trader joes, but we are just getting used to using them. i think you really gotta have them in your car like mike does in order to get max use out of it. its too easy to forget them.

    I haven't moved towards reuseable bags yet but I insist on paper bags all the time. I also save my bags for several uses before tossing them. Paper bags are much more recyclable than plastic and they are made from recycled materials. I need to get in to the whole reuse grocery bag thing because its so annoying having to ASK for paper bags (they don't ask me, they just put everything in plastic here, thats Ralphs in La Jolla).

    Bob, you hit the nail on the head. In order to make good use of them, when you go get groceries or whatever, the final part of the process after unloading everything into the fridge has to be to walk the bags back out and toss em into the truck. I know I forget myself if I don't.
