[QUOTE="Lil, post: 727737, member: 17309"] We do about half our grocery shopping at Aldi's. If you haven't heard of them, they are a discount-type store. The food is all stocked in in their cases, like the cereal is in big boxes with the top and front cut out so you can see what's in it and they are all just stacked on top of each other. The flour/sugar etc., generally stacked on pallets, and the canned goods in the flat boxes. You bag your own groceries and they will sell you bags, I think it's 4 cents for paper and 10 for plastic - and the plastic is the big, reusable type - and $1 for cloth. So we do remember those when we shop there - usually. :p Sometimes we just grab a box out of one of the bins and stuff all the food in them. Sometimes I also take a handful of the other stores grocery bags and just leave them on the bagging counter for other people to use...just spreading the wealth. I get rid of a few that way. The problem with plastic bags is the baggers at the stores give you SO MANY of them! I understand keeping the meat separate and the rat poison in a different bag than the sugar...but Jabber came home the other day having bought - literally, almond milk, Fiber 1 bars, coffee creamer, 5 bananas and two bath poofs. He had 4 bags! They put the bananas in a bag alone and the bath poofs in a bag alone! Really? Were the bath poofs going to squish or someone contaminate the bananas? [/QUOTE]
