re: #105 allegro
I’ve been doing that for several years, mostly since the day my bottle of wine broke through a flimsy bag and smashed on the sidewalk. Priorities, yanno. Cloth bags are so much better. I do get weird looks when I shop someplace the first couple of times, with the bag kid giving me questioning WTF look.
On days when I forget to bring the cloth bag, I have to stop the checkout people from doubling the plastic bag for a soft drink and a sandwich.
