I purchase the bag at the store and when I remember them, that's what I use and I give them away to others too... I do my best to avoid plastic but you can't sometimes.  :female:

I use plastic because I use the bags as trash bags for my smaller garbage cans in the house.  However, if anyone knows of other ways to recycle or save in having to use those bags, please let me know.  Thanks.

Whichever is fine with me. The supermarket I go to often use plastic bags. If only I knew where to recycle paper and plastic bags, I would use and recycle them. Like yourself, I usually use plastic bags for garbage and reuse paper bags for other things.

I use both. I like my cold and frozen items in the plastic and my dry and canned goods in paper. I also recycle. The paper bags come in handy for magazines and newspapers and plastic bags make great small garbage liners. :wave:

I know paper is better for the environment, but I go plastic bc I need handles, reuse them for cat litter waste, etc.

I get paper only to use to put sacked potatos in, so they will stay good, and then plastic because I reuse these bags for many things, mostly garbage bags, or for holding thems in the closet, ect.

I choose plastic if I forget my cloth bags.

I use the plastic bags for my own garbage can liners and I take extra plastic bags to my job.  We use them there as garbage can liners too.

I am trying to remember my own cloth bags every time I go grocery shopping.  Our local store even gives a $.05 rebate for each cloth bag used!
