No no no. You’ve got to have a reuseable bag made from hemp fibers.

Nevermind that it’ll get all nasty over time, harboring bacteria and other kinds of protein units.

Just try washing it with phosphate free soap. Lotsa luck.

We add our own phosphate to our soaps at the Liberty household....

I have reusable bags and I hate them. I would much rather have paper,..and not the half size and thin ones now in use..between those and the thin good for nothing plastic ones.....I think it is time to have groceries delivered..IN box!

Just one more Burma Shave sign on the highway to a Green, Marxist Utopia.

Next step will be banning grocery store parking lots as a sop to Marxist owned Wheelbarrow selling, urban/rooftop/macro-idiot, gardner supply shops.

What's to stop someone from lining their cloth bag with plastic? Buy some tall kitchen can bags and place them inside your hemp or canvas bag, then stand there and make sure the bagger puts the stuff in correctly. Problem solved.

Although I resent the state telling us how we can bag our groceries, I do hate those little plastic grocery bags. They break, they leak, they contain almost nothing. The apples and canned goods escape in the trunk and roll all over the place. You can't carry more than a few pounds per hand without killing your fingers. Good riddance to them.
