We’ve been using canvas bags since around 2007. Before that, when I’d go in the store I’d just say no bag & carry it out. Or I would find a box in the store already. There’s always some laying around.
People say Oh I forget my bags. Here’s a tip: For women, wrap the canvas bag handles around your purse. Then when you are going to get out of the vehicle & grab your purse, you will automatically grab the bags as well. Men & women who don’t do purses, I’ve even put a piece of paper in my keyring so when I go to turn the ignition off, I feel the note & it helps me remember. Similar to someone wearing a string around their finger.
Irks me that cashiers ask for something to be put in a bag like say one candy bar or a BAG of potatoes. I even joked, easing the joke a bit but did tell the cashier re: the potatoes, Uh, it’s already in a bag!
For Meijer, we have the ones that hook onto the sides of the cart. We got them from reuseit.com but they no longer sell them. However if you search for store cart bag you’ll get others that would be similar.
We also use reusable produce bags.
Some naysayers complain that the canvas bags are dirty. Well, yes, they would be. Solution- Wash them! So simple! For regular canvas bags & the reusable produce bags, I just put ours in the laundry. The store cart bags I spray them down good w/ essential oils, white vinegar & wipe them down.
People are so worried ‘bout canvas bags. But did you know that the child seat in a shopping cart has fecal matter? Then we put our purse in there. & people complain ‘bout canvas bags.
You’re going to have a bag to carry after anyways so why not just start with one?
