   We no longer get plastic bags on supermarkets, you have to pay for each   
   one, and often they degrade fast.   
      
   Only some shops still use plastic bags, like pharmacies. Food stores, no.   
      
   I have a garbage container, and I basically need to purchase garbage   
   bags of certain sizes. Not that easy to reuse plastic bags from   
   supermarkets.
