    Sometimes I still forget to bring a bag, then I need yet another wawa bag, and I just stare at this neverending pile of bags

      In my experience, it’s resulting in bags that use much more plastic being disposed of, instead of the thin plastic bags they used to use.

        It’s a great usability improvement that groceries have good quality plastic bags again. Here they charge 10¢/bag, so hopefully that’s enough to make people try.

        It’s a new habit I’m still having trouble with and have so many 10¢ bags to bring to the grocery - every time I forget I have to buy more. I guess it’s better than paying yet more for hundreds of cloth bags

      Just ask for a cardboard box. Supermarkets have masses of boxes which just go to waste or recycling. My local puts them near the checkouts for customers to grab.

        Costco packs everything this way and it’s great.

          Eh, it’s not so great trying to dispose of all the boxes, plus all the excess packaging from Costco trips. My recycling bin is completely full after a Costco trip, and it takes forever to break everything down and dispose of it.

        I like the reusable bags, when I remember to take them!

      I just walk out of Wawa looking like the “why can’t I hold all these limes” guy.

      I always leave one extra bag in my trunk and only use it when I forget the others. That helps in a pinch

        We’ve gotten better about bringing them to the car by making sure empties are in front of the door.
