I stopped dicking around with that and instead bought a couple of nice strong totes.
I keep them in my trunk, and I don't even bother bagging. Toss it all right back into the cart and load up the tote when I get to the parking lot.
Then just n-totes to carry in, instead of n*8 bags.
The trick is, once you unload the groceries, the tote(s) must be returned to the car immediately. If not, you have to put your keys in the tote and the tote near the door.
This is the part I struggle with.
Yeah this is just replacing the bags I forgot at home with totes that I forgot at home.
This sounds too pre-meditated and organised.
Monkey wants banana,
banana is at the store,
monkey gets banana(s),
now monkey can’t carry more.
Where I live, everything that isn't bagged at checkout needs to be stickered or they assume you stole it. If I buy something that doesn't fit in a bag, it also needs to be stickered.
I try really hard to remember to put my bags in front of the door immediately after unbaggging everything. Then I usually grab the bags and bring them with me the next time I leave. The problem occurs if I ever need to temporarily use the bags for something else... then I get to add to my hoarde.
Depends on the store.
Around here, Aldi doesn't bag your groceries, they just toss them into a cart and you can bag them yourself.
Market Basket (New England Chain) does the sticker and bag thing, but they also don't have self-checkout and always has baggers (and ones that know what they're doing, at that).
Stop and Shop (another chain, related to Giant) don't care.
