I live in a US state that's banned plastic bags. It is always funny seeing people from other states being shocked that there isn't any plastic.

You want forgetful? My gf and I keep a whole bag of bags in the trunk of our car. Every single time we go shopping, we forget to grab them, buy one in the store, and then add it to the bags in the trunk. It's a viscous cycle.

I made grabbing the bags part of my routine. I can remember anything when it is part of my routine.

I don't use any bags anymore if i can help it. I just load them into my trunk and use a little crate with wheels and a handle on it to bring groceries inside. The crate never leaves my home, so I can't forget it.

I’ve never really had that problem, because I almost always carry a large-ish backpack with a cotton bag folded inside, but it would be neat if stores had a box near the checkout where you could leave your extra bags for other clients to use for free.

One of the libraries I go to does something like that, they keep some bags near the front desk and give them to users who need something to carry their books. I’ve given them two bags I had no use for. And I know a bulk food store where you can leave empty containers for other clients to use.

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.

If you’re driving, just load it into your cart, then load it into your car, then load it into your bag, and take it inside. If you’re taking a bike or the bus, I’m sorry about your 37 reusable bags.

I don't understand how you people can go outside without a bag, let alone an extra bag inside it. How can you just go places with no inventory slots???

In England we call them “bags for life” which I imagine is because they will just stay around forever and multiply because you keep forgetting them.

Keep the bags, or at least a few, in your car.

I just throw it all in my car and transfer it to bags when I get home.

I have a great system where I load up a lot of bags into my car so I basically always have access to reusable bags when I drive to the store. And then I promptly forget the bags in the car when I shop and end up with freaking single use plastic anyways.

I'm still hacked off that the bag fee was created only as a punishment for single use plastic bags, then once plastic bags were phased out the cunts kept it in and raised the cost with different tiers of biodegradable, reusable and woven bags.

Too real

Me putting 6 (3 more than I'm sure I'll need) in my backpack (which is storage overkill now) and then since I'm like a primitive creature or something where if I don't see it it doesn't exist, I forget that I have the bags after checking out.

Speaking of forgetful, don't forget to run those bags through the wash every now and then.

Those things will harbor some nasty bacteria if you let them.

Get a foldable bag that you can stuff in your main carryon (purse, backpack, etc) in the event you forget

It's a good backup. Just gotta put it back once you unload everything or else you forget about it

Curse of ADHD.

Only way I’ve found around it is to throw a few bags right back in the car after unloading.
