Hello George!

I already offer 10-40% discounts across my product line all the  
time. Anything over 40% discount is a loss in my industry.   
I've been doing this for over 10 years now. There is an  
expectation by the consumer to pay for plastic bags now, so I  
am willing to oblige to that I can at least break even with the  
bag expenses.  ;)

I contribute to the community in other ways that exceed 5c per  
bag ever would.
