Got my first reusable bags in Washington state. Walmart pickup run. Okay with me I suppose. All I

[brewens]

need to do is take the bags back out and stuff them in a bucket and put the lid on for next time. They will bag them at the tailgate for me. I didn't know it would work that way.

The only thing with me is those single use plastic bags they outlawed were not single use for me. Every one of them was used for something before it got tossed full of cat poo or whatever. I'd use those to wrap stuff I'd go right through for the freezer and some leftovers in the fridge rather than dirty a storage container. I'll find green alternatives and make it work.

1. They are not single use for me, either. Everything you said. For a time, I was using

the packages of bags for holding dirty diapers sold at Dollar Tree.

2. Wait a minute...they sell dirty diapers at Dollar Tree?

6. Shhhh. david vitter will be jealous!!

3. The hell of it is, now a lot of people just go buy the small waste bucket bags to use for all that

anyway. I'll still get quite a few produce bags. Maybe I'll put a bucket out the back door to use for the cat box. Dump it in the garbage on garbage day. It's worth it.

10. I got a small bucket with a lid to use for cat box cleaning

When it gets full, my husband carries out into the field (on our farm) to dump - or we put the cat poo around plants we don't want the deer to eat. Either way, it is very effective.

4. it's gonna be a bit of a strange adjustment to buy garbage bags and be more green

Hope the math works out somehow. I wonder what % of people didn't re-use their plastic grocery bags?

[brewens]

5. Of the people I would know that about, having been in their kitchens or whatever, most used at

least some of them over. They're too handy.

7. After selling, and in fact pushing, reusable bags for years,

our grocery store won’t allow them because of covid.

[brewens]

8. I'm using the right system then; leaving them in the bucket in my truck bed all week.

They won't know it, but no risk of getting it from my bags.

9. they make a compostable plastic bags. Why can't we use it for shopping bags?

and STOP making so many plastic bottles and plastic containers just to hang things on racks in the store.
