I have actually had this similar thing happen. It's like there is no limit as to how much they can pack into these reusable grocery bags.

Whenever I see someone using these in the line in front of me, I always ask for everything to be double bagged. :->

If this starts getting any worse, I’ll just order in bulk from Amazon every couple weeks and have groceries and household stuff delivered to my door.

Well I never had back problems when grocery stores only had paper bags.

I'm stockpiling my plastic grocery bags. I will recycle them by taking them to the store and bagging my own groceries with them. I will even double bag when necessary---LOL!

The plastic bags can actually be used many times if you just don't put too much weight in them.

Paper grocery bags are bad.

Like Hell, they are. Paper bags are the solution. They are reusable, biodegrade-able and recyclable. They provide American jobs

Plastic grocery bags are evil.

Damn straight they are..

They still use plastic and paper bags at my local supermarkets, but they all also sell cloth reusable bags. Problem with those reusable bags is that they’re so tiny. You can only fit a few items in them. You can fit much more into the plastic bags.

Palo Alto bans plastic bags at grocery stores Mountain View Voice - ‎Mar 17, 2009‎ The council also indicated that broader bans on the bags would soon be implemented, along with a campaign to convert more shoppers to cloth

I’v seen people bring back their empty cans in these things(getting the inside just gross and slimey) and then use them to put their groceries in. I think there must be some sort of sanitary issue here.
