No canvas bags for me, just can't care enough. I always get plastic.


+1. And that way, I have an endless supply of trash bags for my bathroom and office.

Those Whole Foods paper bags are easily worth a nickel. No end to the uses they can be put.

I find the hippies who work at the local Trader Joe's to be harmless enough to exchange pleasantries with at the register.

I will not buy reusable grocery bags so long as they continue to offer convenient disposable ones for free.

I use them as diaper bags.

Tread carefully. They're sneaky, hairy bastards.

Why? You just enjoy ******* up non-renewable resources? I know that bag thing has been taken to absurd heights when we compare it to other areas where actions should be taken and would have a higher yield but ****, why be a dick with natural resources.

I like the canvas bag thing, though the assholes at Whole Foods make things difficult by not allowing you to use it as a shopping basket as well. You have to use a little plastic basket until you have paid. Annoying.

I use a duffle to go grocery shopping, got me into trouble a couple times when I was picking stuff from shelves, employees were not amused cause I might have been stealing cheese or something.

Oh noes! Cheese theft is on the rise in affluent neighborhoods across the US.

Maybe this should go into the "shameful admission" thread but...we use the canvas bags. Unless I need some paper TJs bags to stick recycled newspapers in.

A paper bag is a non-renewable resource?

I simply don't see any advantage in buying bags which will clutter my house or car when I'm being offered free bags which can simply be disposed of in a convenient manner. Besides, I tend to use them for garbage bags, so they end up being "reused" anyway.

I suppose that makes me a dick.

People like you are the reason everyone else thinks americans are fat, rude people who believe they own the world because they're rich.
