Here the stores give paper or plastic, no charge... they'd have a hard
time charging since each is printed with their advertising, having to
pay for their advertising adds insult to injury. I reuse the plastic
bags; cat litter. Since I don't get nearly enough from shopping I
buy those bags in cartons of 1,000 for about $9 at BJs... I double and
triple the bags, I don't need the bottom to drop out.
