See I go to school in Washington DC, its a nickel per bag and I'm okay with it because it helps the environment. I am just gonna buy a dollar biodegradable bag and go shopping with that.

Many of them would flock to Target or K-Mart in protest. I know because a Safeway tried this and everyone went to Lucky or Albertsons. Safeway went back to plastic bags within a week. |
Man, 15 cents for a reusable bag is such a deal! We had to buy ours for a dollar each.
I think it's a reasonable step for Wal Mart to take. The other big-box stores are likely to follow their example. At Superstore (Canadian grocery store), most people are using reusable bags, now. They're really big and convenient. Apparently people are getting used to the change really quickly. |
It wouldn't matter to me. I do so little shopping at Wal-Mart that I could carry my stuff out without a bag. Or stuff them into my huge coat pockets and look like a shoplifter. Or bring in a bag from Target and put my stuff in that XD
My parents, however... I'd estimate they'd have to buy about 15 of those bags considering the amount of groceries they get at a time (they do one huge shopping trip a month and typically purchase $150-$200 worth of food a trip). I'm not sure how'd they react. It would depend on how durable those bags are, I suppose. |
Hmmm...so Wal-Mart has joined in the bandwagon of reusable bags. I know in my grocery store you can bring your own bags. They are so convenient. Plastic bags break and all of your food will be on the floor. But you have to pay about 99 cents for a bag. But you can use it as many times as you want. And you get to enter a contest to win a gift card. The things to do for everyone to use reusable bags.
But I see why Wal-Mart cares for the environment. I am all for it. But they still need to work on their customer service. |

I always re-use any plastic bags I get, anyways. They make great trash bags for tiny trashcans and my friend's family always uses them for scooping dog mess up while walking. I have a huge ball of plastic bags under my sink that will see use again in some way before heading to the dump. |

I can see Wal-Marts located in areas that are more affluent or where most of the population is "green" doing this but in my city one of the Wal-Marts is located on the ghetto side of town and I don't see it happening there. Some of my friends are unfortunate enough to be in that situation and they don't even buy garbage bags because they use the plastic bags from stores for that job. |
