I hate plastic bags. I have been using cloth ones since last May. Some of the stores in my area give you a $.05 credit for every bag of your own that you use. More have brought out their own bags for sale, usually $.99. No levies around here but some of the cities on the coasts(NYC & San Francisco) have or are going to have bans on them. They always are ahead of the rest of the country.

The reasons that I don't like them are: oil useage & people just throw them away & they are an environment/landfill mess. Plus wildlife have been known to eat them or get caught in them.

I had been shopping at Aldi's for years so it was just a matter of getting used to remembering to bring my bags to the regular grocery stores.
