        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.

        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.

              No, they aren’t made of cellulose or anything, just plastic.
