I noticed that Walmart has started using the cheap shitty ones again. Haven’t looked to see if they claim to be reusable but they’re hardly durable enough for the first go.

I haven’t been to Walmart in so long I can’t actually recall. I know my local Bodega has shitty bags that they also charge for…

Our bill passed last October or something that will ban all plastic bags in California, including recycled bags, making it paper only for no more than $0.10. Takes effect January 1st

Damn I haven’t heard about that yet. I think that’s good news though, honestly we don’t need these plastic bags. Even at $0.10 each I have a cabinet full of them. I use them as often as I remember to but I def have more than necessary. I already pay the same for plastic bottles, cans, etc… although I get my money back on those when I recycle, as you know. Paper bags just seem easy more sustainable.

For sure. It’s definitely okay by me. I have a bunch saved up myself, and quite a few of the cheap reusables. But my go to bags are from IKEA in Burbank. They have a great selection of bags that fold down nicely, and are very portable. The ones I use the most were only like $5 a piece too.
