For many years, Chris and I have transported shopping bags (reusable, plastic & paper) in the trunks of our cars for our grocery shopping at Aldi, where, if you don't bring your own bags, you will get charged for bags or you need to scrounge up a box or two. It's also strongly encouraged to bring in your own bags at Trader Joe's. Eventually, I started taking my reusable bags into the chain stores, as well (Walmart, Meijer, PayLow and SaveaLot).
Our two new favorite grocery stores in Colorado are big proponents of reusable bags. They offer bag credits, either as a discount off your bill or as a donation to one of three local organizations.
Let's try to minimize our dependence on plastic shopping bags and help reduce what we send to landfills.
