Wasn’t the whole point of these bags because we were “using up” all the trees to make the now-designated-recyclable paper bags? And there are numerous studies out there that prove reusable bags spread bacteria.
Everything old is new again, I guess.
You have to remember that NJ is the state where it ts illegal to pump your own gas at a service station. All control. All the time.

They did this in my county and for a grocery shopper.. it is a royal pain. I purchased some cloth bags but to be honest.. I got annoyed that I had to do laundry after each trip (to prevent contamination from Ecoli, Salmonella etc) So, any NJ freepers.. go to Ebay and purchase an entire box of the regular plastic bags (I think they are referred to as t-shirt bags). I got a box of 500 and they last. Stick about twenty under your car seat or in your trunk (the plastic bag ban usually applies to regular stores as well like Walmart, Sears, etc). Just a thought...
