JUST GET THE SINGLE USE BAGS.
They are much better for the environment. You can even reuse them. The reusable ones use much more plastic hence are much worse if you don't regularly reuse them.
Cloth bags are even worse. But very nice.

People still use bags? I don't have a car but I go on public transit with my cart and I haven't used bags in forever and even if I did have a car I wouldn't use them because I would just load them directly into my car. Tbh there's not a lot of uses for bags imo. They just seem like it's all extra baggage... Ha..

If you’re driving, just load it into your cart, then load it into your car, then load it into your bag, and take it inside. If you’re taking a bike or the bus, I’m sorry about your 37 reusable bags.
This is what I do 99% of the time because even when I do remember to put them back into the trunk after using them, I never remember to bring them into the store.
Ideas for people like us:
Same store evertim? “Siri remind me bags when I arrive at $nameOfStore”
Same day/time evertim? Set alarm
Looks like your 'y' key isn't working. Might wanna look into it.
If you're taking a bike get a cargo bike or use pannier bags, and then just build a house that's designed so you can ride your bike all the way to the fridge/pantry 😂
If you live in an apartment building get one of those foldable trolleys and keep it next to where you lock your bicycle.
At one point I made grocery trips for 3 on my motorbike with a 70L rucksack lol
I wonder if it would help if I taped a bag with my name on it under the seat on each bus I could conceivably take to different grocery stores? But then I'd have to remember to take the bag out from under the seat 😆
But seriously, I do have a bag in my backpack, but I'm not always wearing my backpack 🤦🏻
You would assuredly be investigated for drug running. Why not tie a plastic bag to your keychain? Compressed into a knot, it takes up fairly little space.

In England we call them “bags for life” which I imagine is because they will just stay around forever and multiply because you keep forgetting them.
Keep the bags, or at least a few, in your car.
My problem is remembering to bring them back to my car.
My system is that after I unpack the shopping at home, I leave the bag beside the front door. Then next time I go outside I see it like "Oh yeah, the bag!" and put it in the car.
Works for me.

I just throw it all in my car and transfer it to bags when I get home.
I have a great system where I load up a lot of bags into my car so I basically always have access to reusable bags when I drive to the store. And then I promptly forget the bags in the car when I shop and end up with freaking single use plastic anyways.
I was reading that and thought "yeah man great system but then you forget those too!". Then I read the second part, I feels you man
Too real
I'm still hacked off that the bag fee was created only as a punishment for single use plastic bags, then once plastic bags were phased out the cunts kept it in and raised the cost with different tiers of biodegradable, reusable and woven bags.
In theory you just have a dozen or so bags that you can take with you every time. The knee-jerk reaction is to call it something the company does to offload responsibility, but unfortunately for us Americans this is the norm in many other places in the world and they deal with it fine.

Get a foldable bag that you can stuff in your main carryon (purse, backpack, etc) in the event you forget
It's a good backup. Just gotta put it back once you unload everything or else you forget about it
Just gotta put it back once you unload everything or else you forget about it
Therein lies the problem
It would be easier to think puting it back into the carryon rather than the car.

No, no, I don't think you understand. These already make up 20 of the ones I forgot at home. The problem isn't not having enough bags.

Speaking of forgetful, don't forget to run those bags through the wash every now and then.
Those things will harbor some nasty bacteria if you let them.

Curse of ADHD.
Only way I’ve found around it is to throw a few bags right back in the car after unloading.
None of that, "I'll do it in a few minutes, I won't forget" nonsense. I absolutely will forget. I can set an alarm for 10 minutes, but then I'm doing something else already and I'll silence it, thinking "oh yeah, I almost forgot! I'll do that just as soon as I'm done doing..."
Nope. Bring groceries inside. Go pee. Unload groceries. Return bags to car. If I follow those steps, I'll remember lol

when you inevitably accrue a metric fuck-ton of these please remember that a lot of charity shops (at least the ones in the UK) are grateful for them
I get boxes from work and just keep a couple in the back of my truck, also keeps my groceries from sliding around the bed. Get boxes when you can their great, I'm keeping my eyes out for a roadside milk crate to replace them though.
When I'm done unloading at home, I hang them on the doorknob so I remember them next time I leave.
I leave mine in the trunk and have only walked into the store without them twice. Not forgetting them before walking into the store and putting them back into the trunk after unloading them is the hardest part.
36? Those are rookie numbers 😅
What have you done, Mark
