For the supermarket, I use reuseable totes. They hold more than store bags, asre sturdier, I get 2c off each one I bring and they have shoulder handles.
We do get plastic bags from other stores and those line the wastebasket in the bathroom and use as garbage bags in the car. I also use them at artshows to wrap what people purchase.
What bothers me about these bags is, drive along route 440 in Staten Island, where the Arthur Kill landfill is and the trees and bushes along the road look like they grow plastic bags for harvesting. Pretty sad.
I'd prefer paper bags if stores offered them but no one does anymore.
