Milwaukee tools can #### off. Taking over everywhere, it’s kind of getting out of hand and ruining the joy of quality tools.

The fact that you can buy groceries and they send you out the door with nothing to carry them in. I have a dozen of the recyclable ones at home and don't want to buy more, I only hit the grocery store when I remember I'm out of something and running other errands.

I've been ####ed so many times, carrying items to my truck in my hands.

Goes to the grocery store without bags.. fail.

It's on you man! Put a couple of bags in your truck maybe?

I'm not in calgary now but I'll use a backpack normally.. and if I'm heavy carry i'll put a couple of bags in the backpack. I have a feeling you'll figure it out

I just refill the basket and carry it out in that, when I forget my reusable bags.

Or you could just leave a bag in your truck.

How?

You take it inside with the groceries in. Thus it stays inside.

Remembering to take one to the store is the same challenge as remembering to take it to leave in the vehicle.

Yeah, I'm not a housewife who focuses on grocery shopping or makes a weekly scheduled trip. Those reusable bags sit in the kitchen cupboard.

I'm going to buy a box of small Glad garbage bags and leave those in the truck., will reuse them for garbage like I've always done before.

Now that I think about it, this new provincial law won't reduce plastic on my end. I use to throw away 100% of my Safeway bags full of garbage, now I just have to buy them.

I unpack my groceries, then throw the bags infront of my front door to remind myself later to bring them back to my car

Going to the grocery store more than once a week is inefficient. Why not just do one weekly trip and take an hour getting stocked (and remembering to bring your bags) then going in and out multiple times a week? It's not really that hard to plan 5-6 days in advance.

Tim Horton's Iced Caps. The straw disintegrates before I can finish

how do you stir the slush at the bottom? or are you drinking fast enough for brain freeze?

The slush on the bottom is pretty much undrinkable so I throw it out.

I live alone, so it just makes more sense to buy what I need for the next few days than load up for a family. It is also generally less stressful to buy a basket full now and then instead of a whole shebang.
