We also have Aldi's, but even better is the Jewel/Osco stores who are selling really great reusable bags (nice big square-bottom "cloth" bags - I think the cloth is made from recycled plastic bags - with great handles on them), and they're set right by the registers.
The only thing that would really encourage the use of these bags more is if you get a few pennies off your purchase for using them. I think the "MOM's" stores in DC do that, don't they?

This is a fantastic idea! I do it already & don't get near as many "you brought your own bags?" comments & looks of disbelief as I used to. There's a grocery store called Aldi's that doesn't provide bags so you bring your own or buy them there. I leave a few in my truck so they're always there when I need them. I think we all have giant stashes of plastic bags, so let's not let them grow any bigger! Kudos to you for "doing your part"! :) --Maria
