Answer 1

Answer 2

I try to bring a backpack from home to carry groceries when possible. If not I prefer paper bags. They hold more & probably & if re-using around the house, they stand up on their own.
I hate plastic bags since they tear so easily & usually have to double bag & , you have to tie the top for the contents to stay in them. The only thing they are good for is lining the wastepaper basket in the bathroom. Or to take back to the store to put in their recycling bin.
What I really hate is when you go gift shopping & the person you are buying for is with you & the store only has plastic bags. There is no chance of hiding what you bought for them that way.

Answer 3

First, I try to reuse plastic bags by bringing them to the store with me. I also have fabric bags that I bought at the grocery store, that I can reuse over and over again, and can even be washed and rinsed out. If I forgot to bring plastic or the fabric bag with me, and I need to use a bag, then I ask for paper and recycle it. If the store only has plastic I reuse them to collect kitty litter, garbage in the car, garbage in the bathroom, and so on.

Answer 4

I just don't buy the back and use re-usable linen bags every time I get groceries. When I get plastic, I use them as garbage bags for the bathroom and bedroom. Paper bags I just put in the paper recycle.

Plastic mainly-I use them for small garbage and recylcing. I also use it to pick up my dog's poop when I walk him. ummm, I think thats about it.
