Locally here, they will give you a plastic shopping bag, but at 5 cents each. Generally a reusable bag from them is about a dollar.
But even better we've found is that they also offer these plastic bins.. about the same size as one of those baskets you can carry around the shop in lieu of a trolley. Those are /brilliant/. They have straps to make carrying easier, and hold so much more and don't fall over in the back of the car. You just have to be careful not to fill one with all the tins and one with all the bread (or at least manage to have someone else carry the one with the tins in from the car ;) In my small often rather hippie Canadian town, bringing your own bags to the grocery store has become commonplace across all ages, which is nice. It's only when I go other places that they look at me funny for not wanting a bag, bringing my own coffee mug and water bottle.
