I reuse my grocery bags (TJs and Sprouts). There are no rotting meat juices soiling the bags.

I shop at Sams Club all the time. No bags of any kind are provided. People shopped for groceries long before paper or plastic were provided. The personal basket may make a comeback.

Having said all this, I object to liberal heavy-handedness that treats me like a small child. Mandatory seatbelt laws. Gun bans. Now shopping bags. It’s insulting.

Liberals have solution to everything and it always involves the iron fist of the government to enforce it. And then they claim to want freedom.

Hope you wash them before reusing.

Reusable bags, if not properly washed between uses, create the potential for cross-contamination of foods.

This potential exists when raw meat products and foods traditionally eaten uncooked (fruits and vegetables) are carried in the same bags, either together or between uses. This risk can be increased by the growth of bacteria in the bags.”
