do any of you use your own bags that you've either purchased or made to bring your groceries home in?

how many of you go beyond the grocery store and use them in department stores?

I just use the bags they have the plastic ones, then when i get home i put them in a drawer and use them later for stuff like cleaning the litter box or using them for my trash cans.

I mix it up between paper and plastic. I like to use the paper to clean up dog poo. I get plastic now though because I not only use them for diapers but I puke alot.

We have a bunch that we bought from Walmart but I haven't been able to find them since we moved. So I do plastic for now, but I save the bags and reuse them for trash cans and dog poop Smile

I have them, but more than half the time I forget to take them in so I just tell them to use paper. If they don't have paper, I'll take the plastic but I re-use them as much as I can. And then we recycle them when we're done re-using them.
