A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
Keep one in your back seat at all times, keep another in your trunk, then remember to bring one every time you go to the store. If you forget, you have the one in the back seat, just put a new one there later. If you forget to do that, you got the trunk backup, just replace that later.
Wanna get real fun? Keep all of your reusable bags in the trunk.
What if I forget to replace them though. That's my issue.
Again, keep ALL of them in your car, then you'd need to forget like 36 times in a row before it comes a problem.
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.
The collection must grow
I leave a pile by the front door so I take them to my car next time I go out
this could be a case where you should consider having groceries delivered to your home.
That's generally even worse, cause the shop-at-home people will automatically buy the cheapest bags at cost to you and they will add up with every grocery delivery.
In my region they use returnable bags or boxes. You return them during your next delivery.
If you live in an area with bag fees, you probably also have yard waste / compost bins. I take the paper bags for gardening and compost. 5 or 10 cents for a compost bag ain't too shabby.
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..
Even in spite of best efforts for good systems to remember mine, I still forget them often. The problem in the US is that the system is not complete. The bags need to be made of biodegradable and/or recyclable materials, and every store needs a convenient way to turn in old bags so they can go into a recycling system. There probably shouldn't be a charge for them either.
That’s why I leave them in the trunk of the car. I still forget them when I walk into the store but I don’t bag anything inside the store just put it back in the cart and bag it outside.
Hopefully this is just a meme because if you actually do this it's more wasteful than just using a disposable bag once and bringing your reusable ones next time.
