Today, I went grocery shopping in my new neighbourhood Whole Foods Market. It's a bit pricey, but ValuMart had already closed for the day and I desparately needed some food for the week. At the til, the person who bags groceries asked me, "Paper or plastic?" To which I said, "Pardon?" I am not accustomed to having a choice of bags. I chose paper, since I could. And lo and behold, I found that they are encouraging people to re-use paper bags (get 10 cents off next purchase when you use one).
I may choose to use them there or another grocery store. It's still pretty cool to have such fashionable bags for toting food.
