That’s not just a… normal thing to do?
It’s expensive to buy grocery bag bags… And they are super inconvenient to carry on the bus or train or while walking.
Most people don’t in the US, no. In my city there isn’t really functional transit so that’s not really a thing.
How can people afford to pay for plastic bags everytime they shop though that must cost a fortune and it’s inneficient in so many ways.
It’s only a few cents here. But I don’t know because I don’t do it.
Hmmmm. So what happens to the bags after people buy things with them I’m not sure I understand. Why don’t they just stay in the car for next time?
Grocery bags are disposable plastic. In my state they cost a few cents each as of a couple of years ago. Reusable bags are common, but it's also common to forget them and need to buy disposable bags. Most people reuse them as e.g. trash bags for bathrooms.
So it’s biodegradable material?
I guess bags for the bins makes sense as a reuse strategy.
No, they aren't made of cellulose or anything, just plastic.
5 cents per bag is a fortune?
They dropped plastic bags where I'm from. 25c per paper bag. $2.50 for a bag for cold stuff. It does add up, then what do you do with that stuff, they can't be bin liners
Ah so your state is just being annoying. They're 5 cents in OR, paper or plastic.
Businesses in Florida so not charge for plastic or paper bags
