Hi Dale,

 RH> The HI one came out while we were there; cut our (my) consumption
 RH> dramatically. I don't think we even filled one grocery (brown paper)
 RH> bag in the remaining 3 years we were over there.

 DS> Around here, there is a $0.05 charge for plastic bags.  I believe it
 DS> is an ordinance that varies with county, but it may be state wide.
 DS> I'm
 DS> uncertain if the stores charge for paper bags -- if they have any.
 DS> OTOH, the restaurants in our village give out a lot of paper bags with
 DS> handles which have multiple recycle options.  There are places that
 DS> collect them for things like food banks, school lunches, etc.

Around here, Wegman's has done away with plastic bags, paper ones are a
nickel each. Aldi and Lidl have both, charge for both with plastic a
couple of cents more per bag. Not sure what other stores charge as we
mainly shop Wegman's and bring our own bags. Also, I know up in New York
State, Wal-Mart bags are all paper; I think the state has outlawed all
plastic bags. We have a good assortment of bags for shopping; some are
insulated--good for what we want to keep cold, either with other
groceries of the same sort or "blue ice" blocks. We've a couple of bags
we bought from Aldi that are insulated on one side (with a zipper
closure) and not on the other for non perishables,canned goods, etc.
