I usually get one paper bag and the rest plastic when I shop. I save all the plastics up until I have a great heap of them. Then tote them all back over to the store to recycle them.

I use the paper bag under the sink for paper waste or for when I clean my bird cages. ^_^

It works out pretty well.

I used to work for Orchard Supply Hardware and we had a problem with the bums running off with all our shopping carts. We had to gather them all up at night, load them in a long line and hook a tremendous linked chain through each one and lock them up. I always felt like a mouse sewing up giant armor with a chain link thread. It took forever.

Before we would just gather them from the parking lot and line them up for the morning.

From what I understand each one of those carts is around 500 bucks or so. Yeeouch.
Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want.
