If only it were REALLY possible. I use my cloth bags at the grocery store, each week. Because of the horrid way a certain grocery store has us cart and re-cart, before we bag our groceries it works. Try one of the big box stores with your cloth bags. They have no space for such a procedure. I showed my bags in the "20 items or less line" the person proceeded to bag my things in their plastic carouseled bags. They expected me to un-bag and then put my purchases in the cloth bag, then they proceeded to throw away the "used " plastic. Given it is the single largest retailer in the USA, imagine the frustrated recyclers out there!! The people waiting behind me were none to happy either.

It’s time for more Minnesotans to become more European about their grocery shopping habits. Yes, it’s OK to bring your own bag to the grocery store and reuse it again and again.

All three of Hutchinson’s grocery stores now sell fabric reusable grocery bags for about $1. There’s no longer the need to ponder whether paper or plastic is the right choice. There is no right choice other than the reusable bag.
