I use those big blue superstore bins, each one must contain the plastic of at least 1,000 regular grocery bags. My bins are old and I have taped them up to stop/slow the cracking, but there is no way they will last until their 1000th re-use (or even 200th re-use, if you assume each would hold the capacity of 5 regular bags). Of course I've also started to buy garbage bags now for my bin, so at least in my case the environment is worse off.
Edit: Convenience wise, I do prefer the bins to bags as I can load and unload much quicker.
