I take my reusable bags everywhere including Target, pet stores, the vet, the drugstore, etc. I haven't accepted a paper or plastic bag from a store in two years. If I forget my bags, I force myself to carry everything or stuff it in my purse! People seem quite open to this. I always tell checkers that I don't use plastic/paper bags and they say nice things.

I've gotten some strange looks, but there's really no reason to waste a plastic bag if I can easily carry a couple of items to my car in my hands.
