Does this count Thrifty Foods? I might have to get some of their canvas bags.

the nearest Superstore recently banned plastic bags. And I must say, the reusable green plastic crates they replaced the bags with? They are *awesome*.

My first two bags are almost worn out...and half the time I forget them :( -- nm - MojaveMeg Nov 27, 12:11 2
- we're in school, so grocery shop with backpacks. -- nm - pilgrims and indians love mandy lane Nov 27, 12:24
- I keep the tubs in the car. They fit nicely in the shopping carts. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 27, 12:13
Ah, it doesn't say. It would kinda suck if they did, though, because I reuse the plastic bags as garbage bags. If they get rid of them, I'll have to - Beryllium Nov 27, 12:11 9
- i'm okay with that. i'd rather buy garbage bags than have 460 Million (That's Toronto ALONE) grocery bags end up in land fill every year. -- nm - El Fandie Nov 27, 12:19 8
  - That's only a bag per person every three days. Honestly, I'm kinda surprised it's that low. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 12:53
  - But I have a 100% reuse rate. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 27, 12:21 6
    - Do you really have a 100% reuse rate or a 20% rate and a cupboard full of plastic bags? - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 12:57 4
      - I have a 100% reuse of grocery bags. Stupid custom-made clothing shopping bags are annoying to reuse, though. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 27, 13:26
      - I have two cats, so plastic grocery bags are worth their weight in gold. -- nm - Reagen Nov 27, 12:58 2
        
        i buy these pooper scooper bags from the dollar store. it's $1 for 50 and they're bio degradable (and black, so you can see anything.) -- nm - El Fandie Nov 27, 13:09
        
        Feel free to take an armload next time you are at our place. - Subversive Nov 27, 13:01
    - as does my friend, the dog walker. but you guys are the minority. - El Fandie Nov 27, 12:27
