Instead of choosing paper or plastic, trade up to a reusable canvas bag to carry your groceries.

We keep them in the car because we find that if we don't we forget to bring them with us. It feels great walking into the store with them too.

I leave some in the office and let my work mates know that they are there if they'd like to borrow them when popping to the shop.

I agree - keeping them in the car is key! There's no worse feeling than getting to the checkout and realizing they're still at home and then having to make that dreaded choice....paper or plastic...ugh!

Woolies' green bags rock! I use them for lots of other stuff too. Another tip to get in the habit of remembering your bags: just buy a new reusable one each time you forget, and soon you'll have enough extra ones to keep in the car no matter what.

I do not buy anything if i don't have my cloth bag. I put it off for the next trip out, whenever that may be. A bag is left by the side of the key-holder.

OK, I admit, I do tend to look like a granny when I go shopping - I have cloth bags and a shopping trolley - nice red one with squeaky wheels!
It's perfect for carrying heavier goods when walking to and from the market (ie. beer!).
