re: Is it trashy to use grocery bags as trash bags?

Would be ideal to use reusable bags when going to grocery. H-E-B in Texas does a great job of this.

I actually love using the big tote bags because you can just swing them over your shoulder and don't need multiple trips to the car. But I constantly forget them.

That’s a waste. I use them to cover my shoes on rainy days. I’m not about to ruin my New Balances.

Are we talking the plastic grocery bags? Cause I’ve put 2 dead cats and a small dead dog in Walmart bags to dispose of them (over the years).

Why would anyone need a trash bag hanging off the lever of your recliner?

Recliners are trashy enough without a grocery bag

I use brown paper grocery bags as a liner. Its just me and I don’t cook so it doesn’t fill fast.

My grandparents, children of the depression, were very successful adults but always used grocery bags as trash can liners. They’d change it out 2-3x a day. But they couldn’t imagine spending money on something “they didn’t need”. I guess that kind of stuck with me.

Not as trashy as using them for luggage

Like what the other poster said

Whether you care about the environment or not, grocery bags are fricking terrible for our planet.

So any way you can repurpose them to get some extra use out of them gets a thumbs up from me.
