Not so long ago, my store gave you 2 cents off, for bringing your own. No more.
Why don't they makes arts & crafts from the old plastic?
Here is a tidbit of information about plastic bags and stores. The reason they use plastic (and push it) is, they are a ton cheaper to make than paper bags. It has nothing at all to do with “saving the earth”. Stores would rather you go with plastic and they will preach how easy it is to recycle, how easy it is to carry your groceries, etc. Bottom line is the bottom line! Cheaper.
If you are feeling overcharged by your grocery store, demand paper bags! It cost them much more!

Possibly the stupidest comment I’ve ever seen on FR.
It does in at least one way. Trash-hauling companies have giant machines that separate recyclables into different categories. One of their big problems is that plastic bags get tangled up in these machines.
