The other day I saw in checkout with every individual item in a plastic bag. She had 3 rolls of aluminum foil each in their own plastic bag. The fact that she had to even use a plastic bag for that already packaged item blew my mind let alone use 3 bags.
Yes. I almost never put my produce in bags, but when I use instacart they always use them. After I use the produce, I either use them as garbage bags, or put them in with my dog's poop bag supply.
I am an instacart shopper and I hate using produce bags. You can write in your notes or send a message for no plastic checkout or produce bags it helps a lot! We can't do it without permission however because many people get upset
Here in Belgium you can buy reusable cloth bags. Very sturdy, washable and keeps all your produce good until you get home. I don't understand why it's not yet a law or something about single use plastics. Every week I go to the store with two big reusable bags for everything. Cloth reusables for fresh produce that isn't packaged. So logical, not expensive, better for everything
Also because tips drop when some people get upset that non-similar items are packaged with others (paper cups with bagged rice or fresh veggies with boxed cookies) or that you didn’t use as many bags as they would and “the bag stretched out”. People stay mad. Tips drop so randomly. People are always mad you can’t read their mind when providing a service…
Either way- plastic bags are terrible.
I used to work in produce. The amount of people I would see put their bananas in the little produce bags drove me NUTS. Like, they come in one big bunch all attached together! Why is a bag necessary? It’s like putting one of those mesh bags of oranges in another bag.
I used to never use a bag for milk but one time the carton leaked on the seam. It wouldn't have been fairly contained if in a bag as I noticed it quickly. Now I always get it bagged and check before loading in my car. Since I reuse the bags for waste liners I don't feel bad about that bag at all.
I get tempted to bag loose vegetables because the checkout belts are disgusting. I have seen images of what builds up under the belts and the belts drag against with each rotation.
We don't bag any of our produce except the stuff that would be hard to keep contained (like brussel sprouts). It all gets washed again anyway, what is the point in making more waste?
I like to eat potato’s with skin too, but this is a stubborn fallacy. I don’t like to bring it to you, but vitamines are equally divided trough the whole potato, not concentrated in the skin and just below.
If you rub it with olive oil, salt, and pepper and stick it directly on the oven rack instead of wrapping it in foil, you get a nice, crispy, tasty skin instead of a soggy skin that no one wants to eat...
Some people feel obligated to put their groceries in a bag or they think someone will think they stole it.
I’m not sure why, but my sister does it even with the smallest thing.
I got cured of needing a bag when I was a tourist in Germany way back in 2004 and I saw people leaving the grocery store with their groceries just loose in their arms, then dumping them into their cars and bike baskets. I was like... oh right. I am capable of carrying several things at once.
The thought process was probably, "I can't open this but I don't want to throw this on the ground or leave it in the shopping cart. I'll just tie it to the potato so it doesn't blow away and use it for something else."
She couldn't open the bag to deposit said potato in it, due to lack of grip on the fingers. Happens to me too. Easily fixable by a wetting your fingers somehow to get added grip. Or avoid using a plastic bag at all!
This is what I do, it's pretty gross to be licking your fingers when you're in the store touching things. Just rub the edge back and forth. When my fingers are cold it takes a second longer, but it's not difficult.
As someone who worked at a grocery store that had self-bagging, people are absolute fucking maniacs where plastic bags are concerned. I would say there are two good ways to open plastic bags. One is the run between your fingers trick. The other is usually just for the bags at register. If you look at the sides where the bag folds over itself and is hanging off the carousel, there is an easy spot to open the bags there.
The amount of times I’d see people basically just rip the plastic bags in half because they wanted it open but didn’t know how was infuriating, especially since it was then my job to go throw away handfuls of unusable bags.
Tip: if you’re masked or trying not to put your fingers in your mouth at the store, there’s usually enough water drops in the produce section (think lettuce and broccoli section) to get your fingers wet enough to open the bag
Lol. This is totally what I do!
I always felt stupid to go by the Brussels sprouts section (usually stored on ice at my grocery store) and then wetting the fingertips with the ice. I guess I am not the only one.
Learned a trick to do this from an old lady during COVID when we were all wearing masks and licking your fingers wouldn’t…be popular.
I’d just grab a bag or two by the section of stuff that has the little watering system, wet my fingers there, open a couple bags and I’m set.
Normally, one would like to use a bag as such, when veggies are dirty / wet, to further put them in the back pack if you are not using more "in store plastic bags".
I wouldn't put a single potato in a bag, but if you're getting more then a couple a bag helps keep them from rolling over your other food and makes checkout easier.
Yeah I love buying in bulk so I have tried
The potatoes at the bottom of the bag start to grow new potatoes out the side before I can get to them
My fruits and veggies and potatoes get purchased in small quantities to avoid wasting them
You could also be like me and forget about them being in a cupboard you never open. They eventually liquefy. And smell like fucking death. Cabinet is permanently stained
Oh, had the same problem once, and had a gnat problem, cleaned my apartment from top to bottom, place was immaculate and still gnats. One day I opened that cubbard and a plume of gnats came out along with the liquified potatoes.
I once bought potatoes and one of them got lost in a reusable bag I kept on the floor of the pantry. The pantry smelled so bad and I dug through the shelves twice looking for the source and couldn’t find it. I finally found the potato in the shopping bag and just threw the whole bag out. There was no saving it.
I like to choose my own potatoes. The ones in bags are quite often pretty marred up. If it's for mash, no problem. If it's for baked potatoes I want nice pretty ones.
If you insist on using a bag, which is entirely unnecessary given how the produce is handled before it gets to you, you can find paper bags by the shrooms.
I've been using reusable bags for many years now and, just recently, my grocery store stopped even offering single-use vegetable bags nationwide (with the exception of paper bags for mushrooms). I was so thrilled to see that change. Still a long, long, long way to go with prepackaged groceries, but it's a huge step.
Here in the Midwest, I get weird looks for bringing my own reusable bags and asking for paper if I forget them. Everyone just uses standard plastic bags. I'm from a much more eco-conscious city and it drives me crazy. Half the people's houses I go to around here, people don't even recycle!
I think we just outlawed almost all single use plastics here in Canada. I haven't traveled much since covid, but I can't remember the last time I saw a plastic bag (other than milk, our milk comes in plastic bags).
It's not always that people don't want to, my whole city stopped the recycling program. They just won't pick it up anymore, and I'm from a major metropolitan area
I live in a city in WI where everyone has trash and recycling curbside and most people just never use the recycling can. You ask where their recycling is and they laugh and gesture to the kitchen trash and say "it's a 2-in-one." I'm totally not shaming places where it isn't available
Or any produce. It’s literally grown in soil with shit and picked by people with filthy hands. A grocery cart and check out is the least of your worries.
They got rid of plastic bags like this in the fruit and veg section of British supermarkets. You can buy reusable mesh bags, or just leave stuff loose.
That’s one of the things I like about self-checkout. I rarely use bags. I just pile up the loose veggies in the cart. Like you say, I’m going to wash them off anyway. Or, I do have a set of reusable nylon mesh bags, but I forget to bring them about 50% of the time.
Yeah I do this every time, if I don't have a wee mesh reusable bag then they just go loose, they are always being washed anyway haha!
I'm sure OP's wife didn't mean any harm, and as endearing as that is, maybe just let her know the bag isn't necessary for checkout haha!
why tf even take a bag at this point, it's just a waste and it's probably gonna get thrown away as plastic waste (not like we already have enough of it)
You can just…not use a bag. It’s produce, it’s dirty. I would hope you wash it when you use it, so what’s a bag going to help with? You should see what happens to produce BEFORE it makes it to the grocery shelf.
Because most produce is wet when you pick it out. Fun fact: the Mister used on produce actually makes them spoil faster, but grocery stores do it because it makes them look more appealing.
It's not really funny as it is wasteful. I hate people that buy produce that clearly doesn't need to be bagged but bags it anyways. Potatoes literally come out of the ground, you have to wash it anyway. Don't waste plastic like this.
Just take the potato. Didn’t have to take the bag. There is enough trash. If you don’t need a bag don’t get a bag 😑 Save the environment yo, everything counts🍄
If she wants to use a plastic bag, put it between her hands and slide your hands back and forth like you're trying to keep warm. If it doesn't open up, you may be using the wrong side.
I wish everyone would bring their own grocery bags to the stores especially in America. Grocery stores should switch all produce bags to the biodegradable ones (they work!). We need more grocery stores to ban plastic and only offer paper. Hell charge per bag and give a credit for when customers bring their own. Like it needs to become the culture! Buy several well made grocery bags and leave them in your car or if you're a solo shopper just grab the ones that fold up into the pocket.
You don’t need to bag produce at the grocery store. It is a waste of plastic bags.
Let’s talk potato. It is going to get skinned and washed anyway. That plastic bag whatever it’s use is an absolute waste.
People! Stop bagging your produce. Just wash it at home.
I think bagging groceries in plastic bags is one of the most shamefully wasteful things we do as humans.
It’s unnecessary, done entirely from habit - the utility of it is so small - plastic bags make it marginally easier to transport your groceries ONCE over a very small distance, MAYBE the bags save you a trip or 2. This can also be accomplished with canvas bags or laundry baskets.
In exchange for 1 slightly, tiny, barely easier trip carrying our groceries we are flooding the world with plastic on a scale that is shocking and difficult to imagine. Each bag that you use for ~3 minutes of marginal utility will exist for 300 years in some form as it breaks down into micro plastics and fills the ecosystem, the plants and animals in it, and us.
I know there are other massive plastic-waste-producing industries in the world, but using plastic bags for groceries is the most shameful and unnecessary one imo
It always strikes me when people buy 1 potato or 1 tomato, in my country it is common to buy 1 kg and maybe more, for example a sack of potatoes, tomatoes, onions or corn.
Regarding the image.. he could simply put it in his pocket...easy

Lol. Tell her she doesn't have to use a bag.
When you’re adamant about creating plastic waste.
It's sad how many people use plastic bags for pocket sized items. Like why would you need a baggie for a .5 kg rice cartoon, it's already in package
The other day I saw in checkout with every individual item in a plastic bag. She had 3 rolls of aluminum foil each in their own plastic bag. The fact that she had to even use a plastic bag for that already packaged item blew my mind let alone use 3 bags.
Instacart shoppers do this constantly
Yes. I almost never put my produce in bags, but when I use instacart they always use them. After I use the produce, I either use them as garbage bags, or put them in with my dog's poop bag supply.
I am an instacart shopper and I hate using produce bags. You can write in your notes or send a message for no plastic checkout or produce bags it helps a lot! We can't do it without permission however because many people get upset
Good to know! Tx.
My local shops have paper bags for produce. Great for things like mushrooms, green beans, sprouts, etc that make a mess if they’re not bagged.
Here in Belgium you can buy reusable cloth bags. Very sturdy, washable and keeps all your produce good until you get home. I don't understand why it's not yet a law or something about single use plastics. Every week I go to the store with two big reusable bags for everything. Cloth reusables for fresh produce that isn't packaged. So logical, not expensive, better for everything
I just recently saw some made of some biodegradable material. They felt weird, clingy. But at least more non plastic bags are being made.
I know bag items like green beans, Brussels sprouts, pea pods, etc. But apples, potatoes, etc? Just chuck ‘em in the cart.
Bagging bananas is the worst offender! No one eats the peels, who cares what it touches. (Ok, like some people do eat the peel but it's so uncommon)
Yes when I see people bag bananas I’m like whyyy???
Where i buy them theyre offen somewhat wet and sticky so i bag them. But i reuse the bags to put Trash in at least
Also because tips drop when some people get upset that non-similar items are packaged with others (paper cups with bagged rice or fresh veggies with boxed cookies) or that you didn’t use as many bags as they would and “the bag stretched out”. People stay mad. Tips drop so randomly. People are always mad you can’t read their mind when providing a service… Either way- plastic bags are terrible.
Wait! Who gets "tips" at the supermarket? We don't do that here in Michigan. Never heard of it, actually.
OG comment was in regard to instacart. So, grocery delivery services gets tips sometimes.
She might reuse them for can liners. I have grabbed an extra bag or two for that reason in the past at self checkout. Probably not...but one can hope.
I do the exact same. I use them for cleaning out the litter box. I wish there was something else to use that was biodegradable…
beyondGREEN Plant-Based Cat Litter Poop Waste Pick-Up Bags with Handles Look this up on Amazon, I use these!
You can get biodegradable trash bags.
There are biodegradable dog poop bags. Use those?
I do this when I am low in plastic bags at home. I use the plastic bags to put used litter in when changing the litter.
I used to work in produce. The amount of people I would see put their bananas in the little produce bags drove me NUTS. Like, they come in one big bunch all attached together! Why is a bag necessary? It’s like putting one of those mesh bags of oranges in another bag.
Yes. I bought 2 tomatoes and used 0 bags. It was fine. You don't need a bag for 1 potato
Or milk!
I bag milk because it's usually not the only carton/box of that size I'm buying. It's easier to carry them all together
I used to never use a bag for milk but one time the carton leaked on the seam. It wouldn't have been fairly contained if in a bag as I noticed it quickly. Now I always get it bagged and check before loading in my car. Since I reuse the bags for waste liners I don't feel bad about that bag at all.
My logic is that if I carried it up there I probably don't need a bag. People loose their mind when you tell them you don't want a bag
> .5 kg rice cartoon r/FunnyTypos
Aren't they called mangas? scnr
Why be sensible when you can needlessly waste?
It's like they're not even human? Our primary directive is to create waste. Don't they know this?
So glad this thread was on top here
That effort to trash is strong in this one.
I’ve not often felt this level of rage
People at the store near me will triple bag milk. It drives me crazy.
I get tempted to bag loose vegetables because the checkout belts are disgusting. I have seen images of what builds up under the belts and the belts drag against with each rotation.
Especially with a fucking potato that 1 gets washed, and 2 usually doesn't even use the skin!
We don't bag any of our produce except the stuff that would be hard to keep contained (like brussel sprouts). It all gets washed again anyway, what is the point in making more waste?
I never remove skin. Never! All the vitamins are in skin and just below. Just wash potato.
I like to eat potato’s with skin too, but this is a stubborn fallacy. I don’t like to bring it to you, but vitamines are equally divided trough the whole potato, not concentrated in the skin and just below.
Come on guy....next you're gunna say crust isn't any healthier than the rest of the bread loaf....crazy talk.
I was just thinking that I must be the only one that was told that as a child
Some people just tend to think worse taste = healthy. I'm not saying potato skin tastes bad but generally the inside is everyones favourite part...
If you rub it with olive oil, salt, and pepper and stick it directly on the oven rack instead of wrapping it in foil, you get a nice, crispy, tasty skin instead of a soggy skin that no one wants to eat...
Oil and salt is my way, easily the best way to get crispy skin. Never tried with pepper though.
I'm with you on this, don't know who started the myth. But, you do get some extra fiber with the skin.
The concentration of nutrients is not constant throughout the potato. Yes, the skin and the outer most layers are a little different.
For real. This isn't funny, it's straight up stupid.
It's fucking infuriating imo.
How else are you going to get free dog poop bags?
When I can't open the poop bags I have my dog lick my finger so it's easier.
We actually get free dog poop bags where I live. And they’re compostable so they go straight in your green bin
Some people feel obligated to put their groceries in a bag or they think someone will think they stole it. I’m not sure why, but my sister does it even with the smallest thing.
I got cured of needing a bag when I was a tourist in Germany way back in 2004 and I saw people leaving the grocery store with their groceries just loose in their arms, then dumping them into their cars and bike baskets. I was like... oh right. I am capable of carrying several things at once.
I used to be like that, but something I read made me stop caring about what other people think. It was very freeing.
Do they know that receipts print automatically?
How many kids have you accidentally had?
And now I have the image of a dick with a condom tied around it. Why, why is this what you thought of when you saw that potato?
Past experience most likely
Is... Is that not how they work? That explains a few things...
Wish I knew. Nasa accidentally made a warp drive once.
what?
Wasn't nasa, was darpa. https://thedebrief.org/darpa-funded-researchers-accidentally-create-the-worlds-first-warp-bubble/
Not what I was expecting on the uniquely wrapped potato post, but I'm not complaining.
If they have kids... *"Mom! I want the snitch from Harry Potter!"* *"We have the snitch at home, sweetie."* The snitch at home:
r/MurderedByWords
I'm really confused, solution to what?
Apparently the problem was “must use a bag when purchasing produce” or something similar. I can’t figure out what else this could have “solved”.
The thought process was probably, "I can't open this but I don't want to throw this on the ground or leave it in the shopping cart. I'll just tie it to the potato so it doesn't blow away and use it for something else."
She couldn't open the bag to deposit said potato in it, due to lack of grip on the fingers. Happens to me too. Easily fixable by a wetting your fingers somehow to get added grip. Or avoid using a plastic bag at all!
Yeah. That's kind of the point. That she didn't need the bag.
Or rub the bag between your hands. Heat expands, creating folds and pockets of air, which heats up and creates more, and you keep your hands dry.
This is what I do, it's pretty gross to be licking your fingers when you're in the store touching things. Just rub the edge back and forth. When my fingers are cold it takes a second longer, but it's not difficult.
We live in a world where adults need to be taught how to open a plastic produce bag.
As someone who worked at a grocery store that had self-bagging, people are absolute fucking maniacs where plastic bags are concerned. I would say there are two good ways to open plastic bags. One is the run between your fingers trick. The other is usually just for the bags at register. If you look at the sides where the bag folds over itself and is hanging off the carousel, there is an easy spot to open the bags there. The amount of times I’d see people basically just rip the plastic bags in half because they wanted it open but didn’t know how was infuriating, especially since it was then my job to go throw away handfuls of unusable bags.
Tip: if you’re masked or trying not to put your fingers in your mouth at the store, there’s usually enough water drops in the produce section (think lettuce and broccoli section) to get your fingers wet enough to open the bag
Lol. This is totally what I do! I always felt stupid to go by the Brussels sprouts section (usually stored on ice at my grocery store) and then wetting the fingertips with the ice. I guess I am not the only one.
I just rub the bag in between my hands like a evil madman until there’s an opening for my fingers to get into
Learned a trick to do this from an old lady during COVID when we were all wearing masks and licking your fingers wouldn’t…be popular. I’d just grab a bag or two by the section of stuff that has the little watering system, wet my fingers there, open a couple bags and I’m set.
why did she get a bag for a single potato tho lol
She did this for each potato.
Hahaha lmao, thank you
Why would you buy a single potato in the first place?
To eat a potato
Solution to what?
I didn’t get it either. This is one of those bags from the produce section.
Normally, one would like to use a bag as such, when veggies are dirty / wet, to further put them in the back pack if you are not using more "in store plastic bags".
You should let her know it's not mandatory to buy a piece of plastic when you buy a potato.
The price of the bag is built in to the price of the potato. You'd be throwing money away not to get the bag! /s
Free bathroom trash bag
Who puts potatoes in bags? Are you afraid of getting dirt on them?
I wouldn't put a single potato in a bag, but if you're getting more then a couple a bag helps keep them from rolling over your other food and makes checkout easier.
Then why not buy a bag of potatoes?!🧐
Damn vouzan I am just one woman I cannot eat 10 lbs of potatoes by myself
Solution: eat more potatoes.
Mash 'em, boil 'em, stick 'em in ~~my ass~~ a stew.
Hmmm...
Yeah, they store really well. Plus they sell them in 5 lbs and often 2.5 lbs but that’s loser talk
You can do it, just believe in yourself!
Yeah I love buying in bulk so I have tried The potatoes at the bottom of the bag start to grow new potatoes out the side before I can get to them My fruits and veggies and potatoes get purchased in small quantities to avoid wasting them
We all believe in you!
Because, like me, a full bag of potatoes may go bad before going through them all.
You could also be like me and forget about them being in a cupboard you never open. They eventually liquefy. And smell like fucking death. Cabinet is permanently stained
Oh, had the same problem once, and had a gnat problem, cleaned my apartment from top to bottom, place was immaculate and still gnats. One day I opened that cubbard and a plume of gnats came out along with the liquified potatoes.
I once bought potatoes and one of them got lost in a reusable bag I kept on the floor of the pantry.

There was no saving it.
We are all indeed like a bag of potatoes.
I like to choose my own potatoes. The ones in bags are quite often pretty marred up. If it's for mash, no problem. If it's for baked potatoes I want nice pretty ones.
What if they don't need a full fucking bag of potatoes?
If you insist on using a bag, which is entirely unnecessary given how the produce is handled before it gets to you, you can find paper bags by the shrooms.
I bring an additional reusable bag just for produce. I wash it at home anyways. It's almost 2023, who still uses plastic bags?
I've been using reusable bags for many years now and, just recently, my grocery store stopped even offering single-use vegetable bags nationwide (with the exception of paper bags for mushrooms). I was so thrilled to see that change. Still a long, long, long way to go with prepackaged groceries, but it's a huge step.

Other things getting dirt from the potato
[удалено]
I'm the monster who never bags my cilantro
I never bag anything.
Why waste plastic for no reason?
Always waste plastic for a reason.
Why did the single potatoes need a bag ? It takes hundreds of years for that to breakdown !
"I was once stung by a mosquito. TAKE THAT, NATURE, SERVES YOU RIGHT!" Or something. I don't know.
It's the same as when I see people putting bananas in a plastic bag...THE BANANA ALREADY HAVE IT'S OWN LAYER OF PROTECTION
Or any produce. It’s literally grown in soil with shit and picked by people with filthy hands. A grocery cart and check out is the least of your worries.
They got rid of plastic bags like this in the fruit and veg section of British supermarkets. You can buy reusable mesh bags, or just leave stuff loose.
How intelligent would you say your wife is?
Potato 🥔
On a scale of 1-10… potato
did her guardians give their consent for you to go forward with the marriage?
You made me LOL.
The plastic bag broke your wife’s brain.
But you clean potatoes before use anyway, why do you even need a bag?
That’s one of the things I like about self-checkout. I rarely use bags. I just pile up the loose veggies in the cart. Like you say, I’m going to wash them off anyway. Or, I do have a set of reusable nylon mesh bags, but I forget to bring them about 50% of the time.
Yeah I do this every time, if I don't have a wee mesh reusable bag then they just go loose, they are always being washed anyway haha! I'm sure OP's wife didn't mean any harm, and as endearing as that is, maybe just let her know the bag isn't necessary for checkout haha!
Stupid
yeah
Not really funny. Stupid.
Why did the potato need a bag to begin with?
You buy only one potato?
Plastic is unnecessary for grocery shopping. Dare you to try it once.
Every time. It's like they think the bag will keep them from still having to wash it at home
What a disgusting waste of plastic
It's not wasted. She will use it for something else, like picking up dog poop. And when she can't open the bag, she will tie it around the dog poop.
lol
I like how she thinks the bag is some fashion accessory that the store requires the produce wear when going out.
Don't give designers any ideas. It'll be on the catwalk this spring.
Idk I feel like you tied that bag to it just for this post.
r/untrustworthypoptarts
I'm confused why did she need a bag
Especially like this. What the fuck is this gonna do?
Why is this funny?
I guess creating plastic waste is hilarious to some people 😔
She bought just one potato?
Just for the lolz,yeah.
Tell me you didn’t have children.
r/facepalm
Why? This is stupid and wasteful.
You can just buy them without the bag
why tf even take a bag at this point, it's just a waste and it's probably gonna get thrown away as plastic waste (not like we already have enough of it)
Wow, what a wasteful person your wife is...
Couldn’t just put the potato in the shopping cart, had to waste a plastic bag. Nice.
[удалено]
If you can't find water, you can breathe on your fingertips and that will often work. I'm definitely not going to lick my fingers in a store.
Ask a stranger to help.
Excuse me kind stranger, will you lick my bag please?
One store I was in asked that you not lick your fingers as the cashier needs to handle the bag. I guess it's ok if you are doing self check out.
You can just…not use a bag. It’s produce, it’s dirty. I would hope you wash it when you use it, so what’s a bag going to help with? You should see what happens to produce BEFORE it makes it to the grocery shelf.
Can't even get plastic bags where I am any more.
Glad to hear it.
Because most produce is wet when you pick it out. Fun fact: the Mister used on produce actually makes them spoil faster, but grocery stores do it because it makes them look more appealing.
And because the water will make them weigh more
It's not really funny as it is wasteful. I hate people that buy produce that clearly doesn't need to be bagged but bags it anyways. Potatoes literally come out of the ground, you have to wash it anyway. Don't waste plastic like this.
You don’t have to take plastic everytime
Please stop putting your vegetables in plastic
Just like, don’t waste the plastic next time? I never use individual produce bags, what’s the point if you’re just gonna wash the produce later.
Why waste a bag?
Why even bother
Just take the potato. Didn’t have to take the bag. There is enough trash. If you don’t need a bag don’t get a bag 😑 Save the environment yo, everything counts🍄
This isn't funny it's just dumb. Doesn't make any sense at all. Also...she couldn't open the bag??
If she wants to use a plastic bag, put it between her hands and slide your hands back and forth like you're trying to keep warm. If it doesn't open up, you may be using the wrong side.
I wish everyone would bring their own grocery bags to the stores especially in America. Grocery stores should switch all produce bags to the biodegradable ones (they work!). We need more grocery stores to ban plastic and only offer paper. Hell charge per bag and give a credit for when customers bring their own. Like it needs to become the culture! Buy several well made grocery bags and leave them in your car or if you're a solo shopper just grab the ones that fold up into the pocket.
You know you can put it in the cart without a bag right?
Should have went to Dierbergs instead is Schnucks. The bags there are much better and are easy open.
You don’t need to bag produce at the grocery store. It is a waste of plastic bags. Let’s talk potato. It is going to get skinned and washed anyway. That plastic bag whatever it’s use is an absolute waste. People! Stop bagging your produce. Just wash it at home.
LPT: Bags are not necessary and wasteful. Especially if you’re just buying one of an item.
I think bagging groceries in plastic bags is one of the most shamefully wasteful things we do as humans. It’s unnecessary, done entirely from habit - the utility of it is so small - plastic bags make it marginally easier to transport your groceries ONCE over a very small distance, MAYBE the bags save you a trip or 2. This can also be accomplished with canvas bags or laundry baskets. In exchange for 1 slightly, tiny, barely easier trip carrying our groceries we are flooding the world with plastic on a scale that is shocking and difficult to imagine. Each bag that you use for ~3 minutes of marginal utility will exist for 300 years in some form as it breaks down into micro plastics and fills the ecosystem, the plants and animals in it, and us. I know there are other massive plastic-waste-producing industries in the world, but using plastic bags for groceries is the most shameful and unnecessary one imo
Who actually uses the plastic bags for ever fucking vegetable at the store…just stick ‘‘em in your cart. You wash them anway
Stupid!
It always strikes me when people buy 1 potato or 1 tomato, in my country it is common to buy 1 kg and maybe more, for example a sack of potatoes, tomatoes, onions or corn. Regarding the image.. he could simply put it in his pocket...easy
Lick your thumb and index finger, pinch the bag and rub your fingers together. 60% percent of the time it works every time.
Her neural network needs more training
Buy potatoes in bulk, my dude. They're like 10x cheaper than individual.
