    Go crates or go home. I don't want my ass breaking nor do I want some coke to spill in my car...don't tell me they don't have crates at the store, it is how the vegetables are carried in?

          Every time I demand crates they are like, ok and get one. They know I'm coming and have crates ready. It's awesome.

            Donegeal, would you please delete your post...it comes between mine and the one I was responding to, thanks. Then I'll delete this one and you can have this space for your post and the universe will make sense again.

              Disposable bags have multiple uses - eg: bin liners, storing and transporting recycling-waste , poop-bags for responsible dog-owners, double-wrapping waste to discourage vermin and maintain public health standards etc.

              So balance of re-usable (canvas or thick plastic) and disposable at the user's consent is the sensible way. Banning disposable bags (which, I gather, are made from a by-product of other oil-based products) is quasi-religious knee-jerk reaction that should be opposed.

                Along the line of poop bags for pet owners...proper disposal. If you get a full bag bring it to the supermarket and leave it in a cart in the parking lot. Some punk will think someone forgot their groceries and rip it off.

                  I use cloth bags. Don't like the canvas bags much, you can't fold them up small.

                  Amusingly at the local supermarket, there's a promotion where, if you use reusable bags, you enter a draw to win a big bag full of groceries.
                  Because I go in every day to get my groceries, and use a single reusable bag, I've entered the draw lots and lots of times. Sometimes I've even gone to the supermarket twice in one day. It almost feels like I'm exploiting the system because I get so many tickets to enter the draw.
                  But the irony (wait? wrong thread?) is that I basically only buy fresh ingredients which is why I go in so often, while the bag you win, is full of processed packaged garbage that I wouldn't even be able to eat. If I won I'd just say "Thanks" and tip it into the adjacent food-bank donations crate.

                      Maybe it is more comforting to think of it as "sequestering toxins in human bodies", as opposed to releasing them into the greater environment where they would cause at least as much harm to other living beings.

                          Sounds like a pretty normal guy.

                                I use reusable canvas bags when I grocery shop.
                                So you're bragging about leaving some poor little canvas as an orphan?
