I'll have to keep those in mind. The plastic grocery bags are way too convenient, though, and they're a natural byproduct of my regular shopping, and I have a ton of them.
My county recently put a 5 cent per bag tax on plastic grocery bags, but exempted pet waste bags. Since my grocery bags get recycled as pet waste bags, I never "honor scan" the number of bags I use at the self checkout. That tax money isn't going to litter maintenance and prevention, so it's a goddamned punitive, and useless, tax, and I'm recycling those bags as pet waste bags, so *expletive deleted*ck the tax grubbing commies on the county board.
