Do you always forget to bring bags with you into the grocery store?

None of the stores here have plastic bags anymore which is a good thing but 🤬 lol

We havent had plasic bags here for a few years now. At first i had the reusable bags but id always forget them in the car when i went shopping. Took me a fewbyears but i think im trained now.
Lilymoon · F
@WanderlustCat I'm getting there lol
Ontheroad · M
Ugh! About half the time I have to turn around and back out to the car to get my bags. I've taken to neatly folding them so I can put them between the seat and the door so when I open the door, they fall out and I can't forget them 😁
Lilymoon · F
@Ontheroad yeah I've left mine on the front seat with my purse and I still forget them 😆
Ontheroad · M
@Lilymoon nice to know I'm not alone in this 🤣
Hatt94 · 56-60, MVIP
Yes, then i need to buy more.
Then take those in the house, and next time i go shopping, they are still at home. So need to buy more.
One day ill remember to put them in my vehicle
Lilymoon · F
@Hatt94 exactly lol
Piper · 61-69, F
No. I've been using my own bags when shopping for so long now, that it's pretty much an ingrained habit. I have forgotten to grab them every once in a while though, when I'm really distracted.
Lilymoon · F
@Piper yeah it's just a habit to get into ...

@LunarOrbit Yeah same here. they were perfect for litter.
I also used them for the bathroom waste baskets they were handy haha
LunarOrbit · 61-69, M
@Lilymoon Yes. And for waste in the vehicles. Handy AF!
But I’m sure it's going to save the world from global warming and climate change. 😏
Lilymoon · F
@LunarOrbit they freaking better 🤬 🤭
When I forget my bags, I try to carry everything in my arms, then trip and fall and spill and make a mess. Then someone offers to help me carry my groceries 😌
DemureDeb · 56-60, F
Our Walmart is now going to require that we either bring our own bags, or pay for theirs. Is that happening in Walmart stores across the nation? Even globally? If we bring Walmart bags that we have kept from previous purchases, how will employees keep track?
Lilymoon · F
@DemureDeb yeah you gotta bring your own or pay for the bags I must have a hundred by now. 🤦‍♀️
DemureDeb · 56-60, F
@Lilymoon 🤣 Me too
iamnikki · 31-35, F
Nope. I have 2 reusable grocery bags. I unload my groceries then loop the handles on the back of my front door. That way, next time I leave, they make their way back to the car so they are ready for next time.

Same with my Aldi quarter. Keep it in a special spot in my car so I always have it.
Lilymoon · F
@iamnikki very good 😁
Northwest · M
I have like 20 of them in my trunk, in addition to a pretty large soft cooler. Mostly though, unless I have some small items, I put it all in the shopping cart and take back to my car, and load in the soft cooler.
Lilymoon · F
@Northwest Ha! Good idea lmao
Northwest · M
@Lilymoon When I have perishables and it's warmer, I can always ask for a bag of ice for the cooler. They were on sale at Costco for something like $20, and they work great.
Lilymoon · F
Magenta · F
Yes! I went yesterday and left mine in the trunk just like I thought I would. 🤦😣
But they only just started enforcing it on the 1st, so it was the first time I've been since.
Lilymoon · F
@Magenta you'll forget it again 😆
Magenta · F
@Lilymoon I'm sure of it! 😩
SW-User
No, the boot is full of them
Punxi · F
I shop/use online delivery for 99% of my weekly grocery essentials. But those times a store run is needed, I use a backpack. 🤷
Lilymoon · F
@Punxi ahhh ok I haven't used the online delivery 🤔
Punxi · F
@Lilymoon Basically grocery shopping in your bathrobe really. 🤷
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
I keep some in the trunk of my car. Aldi and Natural Grocers are the only stores where you need to bring a bag. You can also take one of their empty boxes and use that if needed or buy a bag.
icedsky · 51-55, M
I've become the greatest juggler coming out of grocery stores. Arm load of assorted stuff. Gallon of milk hung on my pinky finger. Jar of mayonnaise tucked under my chin.
Lilymoon · F
@icedsky seriously? 🤣
icedsky · 51-55, M
@Lilymoon Always drop at least the onions or something.
smiler2012 · 61-69
{@lilymoon] no when go shopping at the coop saturday mam always makes sure she is armed with plenty of carriers . you can still buy them from there but what they are made of i have no idea
Ducky · 31-35, F
I did when they first started doing that here, but now I always bring them. Every now and then I will forget and when that happens, 🤬
Lilymoon · F
@Ducky and then you end up buying more sigh 😐
Ducky · 31-35, F
@Lilymoon Yep. Damn it all, lol.
Yes. Although there are still available plastic bags being sold. Most people here are adapting well with bring your own grocery bags
Lilymoon · F
@BloviatingBuffoon yep it takes some getting used to
Eyeinthesky · 56-60, F
We bring Costco bag and Sam’s club bag to shopping to Costco.
It’s not funny when you have to hear 100 times the same joke about how they don’t like the blue bag. 😵‍💫
I bring Walmart cloth bags, or sometimes my stash of ancient supermarket plastic just to cause controversy 😆
Lilymoon · F
@SethGreene531 those are in demand now 🤭
@Lilymoon
Watch for me on Antiques roadshow

then eBay here I come
Chagrinned · M
It hasn't happened here, but it may be coming. That is very inconvenient.
Lilymoon · F
@Chagrinned yeah it's annoying but it's helping the environment one can only hope lol
MissingLink · 51-55, M
I always forget, and I'm too cheap to buy one from them
Lilymoon · F
@MissingLink how many times I have go back to the car to get them 🤬
MissingLink · 51-55, M
@Lilymoon same here, if it's not a lot of stuff I will fumble my way back to the car trying to hold everything 😂
SW-User
No, we haven't reached that problem here yet, but we are saving bags for when. 🙂
SW-User
I keep one in my truck always
Lilymoon · F
@SW-User just one?
SW-User
@Lilymoon yeah, I mostly go to our organic grocers so they sell bags for .99 cents each if you need one
Lilymoon · F
@SW-User they pile up after a while ha
SW-User
I buy reusable every time I go. I must have 50. 🫣
Lilymoon · F
@SW-User 33 cents but they add up. My car is full 😆
SW-User
Yes! But I’m getting better at remembering. ☺️
sciguy18 · M
Nope. I keep them in my car so I always have them.
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
Some have signs that you need them as you enter
DearAmbellina2113 · 41-45, F
I do always forget, unless it's Aldi.
SarithBorn · 22-25, M
yes, but luckily they sell bags here. 🤣
Jimmy2016 · 61-69, M
🤔...........I have 10-12 bags in the car at all times..............lol
Livingwell · 61-69, M
Yes! 😤 I have like 10!
Yep lol 😠
Pretzel · 70-79, M
On the plus side you learned to juggle
Matt85 · 36-40, M
Just carry it on your head.
Starcrossed · 41-45, F
What I dont understand is over the years I've purchased and acquired at parades and festivals SO SO SOOOO many reusable bags, but where the HELL do they disappear to? Its like socks in the laundry.
Lilymoon · F
@Starcrossed I know. I have a ton laying around somewhere lolz
Im so bad at remebering shopping bags, i now use a black one as my everyday bag.
And it has a pocket in the side i can put a folded one in.

.... yet i have like 30 under my seat in the car🙄
Lilymoon · F
@OogieBoogie IKR 😆
Atlotto · M

SW-User
@Lilymoon Exactly ,there reusable 🤪
Lilymoon · F
@SW-User I like Sobey's pizza
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
I remember them now because they took plastic bags away here awhile ago.
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@Lilymoon you will remember eventually. I forgot in the beginning too. At Sobeys you can only buy paper bags and that’s a pain so I never forget now
Lilymoon · F
@iamonfire696 Yeah I think Loblaws is the only place that still has plastic bags weirdly enough. The paper bags are such a pain I know. haha
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@Lilymoon Superstores and No Frills here have done away with bags now

@Darksideinthenight2 well there has to be a reason plastics are being banned.
They're not gonna ban it for nothing.
They're saying it is at crisis levels.
