Kroger to buy Albertsons?
kkt:
Target in Northgate still gives out plastic bags. They cost 8 cents or something, but they are reusable.

Where are you getting plastic bags? I have not seen plastic bags anywhere in Western Washington for a long time now. It's paper, reusable, or that other kind of recyclable plastic like you can get at Walmart.

The Renton Fred Meyer also has thick plastic bags. My car was stuck in the shop for three weeks, and I left my reusable bags in the car. I had stopped sending my plastic bags back to recycling for years in anticipation of a plastic bag ban, so that I could and still do have a supply of small trash bags.

I should start stockpiling. I was thinking about tossing a bunch of bags, but I might as well keep them for use year down the road when they're banned.

You want mine? I can get loads of them (more than we can use) out here in SD... maybe I should start a service for people in plastic bag ban areas that want them for trash bags lol.

When Coahuila first banned bags in stores, our friends asked us to bring down a bunch the next time we made the drive from Kansas. It is AMAZING how many plastic grocery bags you can fit in a small vacuum-seal bag!

Here is a factor on how Kroger ended up with a debate to merge with Albertsons in this movie.

The result looked like a giant multi-layer Oreo cookie. Those were then picked up for recycling along with the cardboard bales.

My current retail side hustle (which increasingly is less of a side hustle as I gain seniority) will not accept anything else but cardboard or other paper products. No plastic and no hangers.
In fact we used to make a bale every week regularly until the vendor botched that he was losing money because he wasn't turning in full bales. So now we wait until the compactor is full.
