I find them useful for kitchen trash - especially wet stuff that I want to take outside to the trash right away, like watermelon & pineapple rinds, etc. heavy bottles & cans.Woe is me. Since I get my groceries delivered, they come in heavy plastic bags and the stores won't reuse them. I do, however, repurpose them. They came in handy for bagging things for shoppers at our yard sale, but that is no solution.
Yes - definitely good for the cans which I now have for the first time. I never liked metal cans, but the dog gets canned food and canned pumpkin puree, so I now have to deal with them. I reuse my glass coffee jars for food storage. Also, I use old mayo jars for meat scrap holding and cooking oil in the freezer until full (things that I can't compost.) The fruit and veggie scraps go into the dog's biodegradable poop bags and get tossed on the back hill as fertilizer. What I really hate most is the one gallon milk jugs. Really wish they could be made biodegradable or that we could get milk in refillable glass bottles like in my youth. /-;I find them useful for kitchen trash - especially wet stuff that I want to take outside to the trash right away, like watermelon & pineapple rinds, etc. heavy bottles & cans.
And, they seem to be getting flimsier &flimsier...that you have to double bag..flimsy little plastic bags
My groceries are delivered. Aldi uses boxes and paper bags, which I either re-use or recyle. My pantry shelves are full of the boxes because it is cheaper to use them than to buy containers to hold like foods.Bring your own bag...shopping.
@StarSong mentioned this too. They wouldn’t fill our own bags or set anything into the plastic boxes IN the shopping cart. A couple of stores wouldn’t even allow me to have my boxes in their carts so I could load them up. We were expected to fill our own bags or set our own groceries into the cart. They were fine with providing the plastic bags for free and they’d fill them.cashier put items back into cart
what i found funny in whole process was one day they could NOT even touch bags and two days later they could and my state started ADS saying take your bags with you since their new fee for bag / bag reduction law had been postponed through out pandemic...@StarSong mentioned this too.

When the research demonstrated that Covid was nearly always transmitted through the air and rarely by contact, stores again permitted outside bags and cut down their practices of endlessly disinfecting everything.what i found funny in whole process was one day they could NOT even touch bags and two days later they could and my state started ADS saying take your bags with you since their new fee for bag / bag reduction law had been postponed through out pandemic...
went shopping on a Saturday and bagged my own .... but monday they could touch them ..... definantely NOT about health or contagious things...
Glass is nice - when we're young. Now that I'm old & sometimes drop things, I appreciate plastic.Yes - definitely good for the cans which I now have for the first time.

Maybe they listened to this doctor/idiot: (Yes, he's a real MD)@StarSong mentioned this too. They wouldn’t fill our own bags or set anything into the plastic boxes IN the shopping cart.

This guy was roundly denounced as soon as this video came out. Not all MDs are as smart as we'd expect.Maybe they listened to this doctor/idiot: (Yes, he's a real MD)
But then what do you line your little trash cans with and what do you use when you clean a litterbox?They bring the items out in bins, no bags, and then you and the helper pack your car. I have small plastic bins in the back.
I do the same with Walmart.Today I did a pickup order at Walmart. You’re instructed to bring your own bags. They bring the items out in bins, no bags, and then you and the helper pack your car. I have small plastic bins in the back. It’s a good service.
I don't line any of my trash cans. I wash them as needed, which isn't very often. Kitchen scraps go in a little bowl by my sink, then get emptied into the proper compost recycling bin.But then what do you line your little trash cans with and what do you use when you clean a litterbox?
We buy a box of 100 white bags at Costco. They fit our bin perfectly. We use one per week.But then what do you line your little trash cans with and what do you use when you clean a litterbox?
