My grocery store actually has a bin for used plastic bags.  I have no idea where they go.  My newspapers are almost always in small plastic bags.  They are ideal if you have a dog and have to pick up after them.  I don't have a dog, but one of my paper delivery persons asks for the bags back and he reuses them.  I get papers from two different cities and will often find both of my papers in the bags for the same city.  It saves the paper delivery person a few dollars.

I take my own bag, but when its not enough, i take plastic and use those as garbage bags. Paper's just too hard to carry (in my opinion at least)

i use cloth bags....   they dont hurt my hands to lug the stuff in and I just toss em in the wash when they need it ...  I have blue ones for meats and they get washed everytime they are used  and green ones for veggies  and they also get washed after use

I use plastic, but we also reuse them as trash bags.

Do you do paper or plastic at the grocery store.  Or, do you carry your own bags?  I generally use paper bags as I put all my recycling stuff in the paper bags.  I get some plastic ones and use them as garbage bags.  I don't buy the big ones.  This way, I am recycling both the paper and plastic. 

I try to use the re-usable bags but I forget ALL the time. Otherwise, I use plastic. They double as trash bags later.

I love paper bags.  They seem less harmful for wildlife.

I use plastic because my store only has it. But I recycle what I use.
