It *is* incredibly annoying that they charge for plastic bags now, and the Bay is expensive enough as it is -- just the principle of it irritates me. It feels like they're soaking consumers for extra money and thinking they won't notice, all in the name of "the environment". Corporate greed, that's all it is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2507275572959725511.post-74513795398476882352010-12-04T08:22:04.799-05:002010-12-04T08:22:04.799-05:00I'm impressed Tracy, you obviously shop too mu...I'm impressed Tracy, you obviously shop too much! ;-) Yes, The Bay, and other then when I go there to buy makeup, it always seems to be a big purchase that wouldn't easily fit into a normal sized bag - that's why they have those giant plastic bag there! Do you remember when they used to have the paper bags you could buy there off of a dispenser by the escalators? This was years ago before paying for plastic bags - funny they would get rid of that when it would actually be useful!<br /><br />Best, LisamarieLisamarie and Christellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07309554413622839519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2507275572959725511.post-12258804366022228822010-12-04T03:30:34.571-05:002010-12-04T03:30:34.571-05:00Im glad this isnt happening in my country lolIm glad this isnt happening in my country loldreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02466245729238334552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2507275572959725511.post-17529050505404950732010-12-03T23:08:07.320-05:002010-12-03T23:08:07.320-05:00You're talking about The Bay, am I right?

Most of the reusable bags I have wouldn't be big enough to hold all of that in. I'd have to carry a bunch of them around with me at all times, and it's just not feasible. They should really think about getting a nice paper bag -some places in the States have them in a vending type thingy where you pay for it-but it's a pretty decent paper bag. That I wouldn't mind paying for!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2507275572959725511.post-54098417443398647312010-12-03T21:14:43.329-05:002010-12-03T21:14:43.329-05:00We've never really had paper bags in Australia...We've never really had paper bags in Australia, but a lot of stores (particularly clothing ones) give out those reusable enviro bags now. I think the only time I've been charged for a paper bag outright was at a petrol station, and they wanted to charge 15cents or something :| though at ALDI I do believe they charge for whatever bag you buySilhouetteScreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13958299527498383584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2507275572959725511.post-82600737240673370612010-12-03T19:50:22.296-05:002010-12-03T19:50:22.296-05:00I am right with you on that one linnea!

And I don't like plastic bags either.. so give me another option! <br /><br />-- plus I always like the feel of paper bags better.. it feels like you're carrying a present :D and that adds enjoyment to my shopping experience AT the stores that offer this. I wouldn't even mind paying for the paper bag if I had to..

They should just ban plastic bags altogether so stores are forced to give us a paper option.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03836599713113151522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2507275572959725511.post-37824477681344038242010-12-03T17:13:15.037-05:002010-12-03T17:13:15.037-05:00Paying for bags does make for crazy Bev, actually,...Paying for bags does make for crazy Bev, actually, so much so that I will buy another re-usable bag if I've forgotten to bring mine with me. I now have a good collection of them so half live in my car - permanently. Geographically, a car is a necessity where I am. Transit? I heard we had a bus here somewhere, but I never see it. :D <br /><br />That said, I don't always remember my bags. And sometimes, you aren't planning to go. I've found that Zellers carries these little fold 'em up into the size of a Wet Wipe bags that fit into my purse (so well that a number of times I've forgotten I have it because they are that small!) so I'm covered there, too. They also clip onto a keychain, if one needs to be Boy Scout prepared...Bevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04816689869156126281noreply@blogger.com
