how are you doing without plastic bags?
the no free plastic bags policy has been effective for five days.
how do you find your lif to be with the new policy?
has it become a lot more inconvenient?
habit is a second nature.
i had to buy a plastic bg at 20 cents
i felt shameful and guilty at their moment
when i was approaching the checking out counter
i suddenly realized i had forgeten to bring a shopping bag with me.
since we have been offered with free plastic bags for such a long time
it is dificult for me to get used to te new policy
have you found some easy solution?
what is your suggestion to perfect the plastic bag policy?
what do you want to say on this topic

They are still free here as far as I know. Where are you that you have to pay for them (not trying to be nosy, just wondering). I remember seeing something about this but I only caught a small bit of it. I was under the assumption that this was a solitary grocery store chain, not a nationwide thing.
I try to avoid them as much as possible anyhow cause I can't stand the noise they make. I have used large purses, book bags, strollers with mesh laundry bags, anything I can use in order to not use them for years so this will not be a big issue for me if they say we have to buy them cause I already avoid them.

I actually bought a few reusable bags from the stores I visit regularly and now i don't need to use plastic bags when I shop. It's better for the environment as well.
