The baggers at the grocery store always give me weird looks when I bring mine. Bastards.

You're embarrassed about that?

Yay you're going green!
 I always bring my reusable bag. I feel awful if I use one plastic bag at the grocery store.

I must admit I love using a reusable bag vs the plastic/paper ones because I can stuff lots of stuff in them and not worry about them breaking.

I'm not embarrassed about trying to be environmentally conscious...it's just an awkward exchange walking around with it and handing it over.

I just stick them in the cart. I don't find them awkward at all.

I spent like three hours last week researching the kind I wanted. I'm excited to get mine in the mail. Should be here tomorrow. What kind did you get?

Do they have large sized reuseable bags? Where can you get them? All I have seen in my area are pretty little. I would have to get 50 of them just to get my
groceries.

Cashiers and baggers HATE you. Just to let you know.

They seem to have the same size everywhere in my area. They might look little but are pretty large in fact. I only need under 10 and that is for a big trip.

Our grocery store encourages it so there are always people walking around with the bags in their shopping carts. It's not a big deal.

I don't care if cashiers hate me. I don't want to keep throwing away unnecessary plastic.
They're sturdy, hold a lot of groceries, and mine were 99ยข apiece. |

I've asked some of the cashiers and they said they don't mind them because they can be packed better. I go with 3 reusable bags and often only need the
raw meat put in a separate plastic bag. Yesterday was odd that I did need a couple additional bags.
