When I was a kid, all we had were paper bags. And bagging wasn't just a job, it was a f~!$ing work of art! A good bagger could get every bag to weigh nearly the same, and delicate stuff like your eggs wouldn't have a chance of breaking.
Grognard!
The Unknown Comic wouldn't look the same in plastic or a tote. Just sayin'.

We also used to cut up the bags to make covers for our school books.

Especially the plastic bags. It's that damn suffocation thing that makes them no fun.
But plastic bags allow me to carry all my groceries in with one trip. I can carry up to 10 grocery bags at once that way!

strangely enough i prefer totes for the opposite reason. They prevent me from getting too much stuff for me to carry. And there is the whole environmental thing.
4e...boxes. Just sayin'.
Brains don't leak out of plastic bags. Much nicer than when they leak through the paper and cloth-eco-conscious-canvas-tote bags.
EDIT: And I forgot, they make excellent kitteh litter receptacles without having to stink up the mausoleum. And dawg poo receptacles too ... and a thousand other little uses ...
Like the aforementioned suffocation bit. Who knew that everyone likely has an improvised garrote in their home? ^_^
It depends on the store. If I'm walking to the store the canvas ones are the best cause they won't break on the way back. If it's a store that has paper bags with handles I'll always choose paper. But otherwise, yeah plastic bags are the best for carrying in large amounts of groceries in less trips. Also great as trash bags for small garbage cans. :)

Very true. I actually use them around the house a lot after I unpack the grocieries.
IBTL.
Grocery bags are serious business.
I. Am. So. Angry. About. This.
The local grocery store just stopped giving 5 cents credit if we brought our own bags.
If I decline the offer of plastic bags at Half Price Books, they're supposed to contribute $0.05 to some sort of charity. However, they seem to balk when I borrow their cart to take my 20 books out to the car.
Charity is serious business.
I thought we were suppose to use the cloth bags to carry the cases of bottled water to our Hummer.
Smoked beef?
Smoked beef?
I think we're supposed to use bags made of human leather, made by and of sweatshop labor, to carry our blow out to the hummer with a yellow ribbon magnet on the back that we drive no more than eighteen inches from the store to the hooker immediately adjacent and leave idling while we snort said blow off her and scream "U!S!A!" with each bump. Firing automatic weapons into the air is optional, but preferred to help keep the terrorists from winning.
There may also be Charlie Sheen involved, in which case we'll need more hookers and blow, and thus more leather bags, and thus an extra hummer or two. Dude's got needs.
You can also use balled up plastic sacks as packing material for sending packages.
My local grocery store also recycles plastic sacks, so if I don't use them all as suggested above (and I usually don't), then I can recycle them.
In Toronto they charge you 5 cents for every plastic bag you need at a store. That has caused a big shift at the grocery store. Now it seems like most people bring their own reusable bags, which is nice to see. I like them because they are much stronger than grocery bags.

I wonder if rules like this have caused the side-effect of an increase in fuel use.

Plastic bags ARE reusable. I use them at home as trash bags. What I don't use I recycle.
The "green" reusable bags are a big scam to get you to buy something that the stores are supposed to give you for free. I bet the guy that came up with the idea laughs all the way to the bank every time he sees somebody using one.
Plastic bags are also handy when walking the dog.

That is so 4E.
Plastic bags are also handy when walking the dog.I agree. When the dog poops on the neighbors lawn, it's always good to have something to stuff in the neighbor's mouth when he comes to yell at you.
Or hold over his head 'til he passes out.
Bump

I vote for hemp grocery bags. That way when parents get done looking at exorbitant grocery bills, or the stress from dragging screaming children through a grocery store they can then sit back at home roll up the grocery bag and smoke it.
I'm appointing you to my cabinet!

Might I suggest the "Lewinsky" model, I hear it's got a lot of room inside.

Ewww. Hemp, not skunkweed!
Whoa dudes! Did somebody mention a bag of weed?
I miss paper bags. They were great for making popcorn in the microwave.
Also, when a cat shreds a paper bag, if he/she eats some of it, I don't have to worry about it getting tangled up in his/her intestines.
Personally, I prefer a Handy Haversack made from rich Koboldian leather to carry all my groceries. Except the beer, which goes in the portable hole with that huge chunk of glacier ice.
At Trader Joe's, if you bring your own bag you are allowed to fill out and enter a ticket into a weekly raffle. The lucky winner wins a bag of food valued at $35.
I won once! Oh man, I was so happy. It was full of stuff like pasta, spaghetti sauce, and cookies.
A bag that I can carry my organic groceries in ... and then smoke it up afterwards?
OUTSTANDING!

FAIL. Your groceries would always smell like feet. Kobold skin makes poor haversacks. Party balloons, yes. They come with their own gas.
I saw a sign outside the local grocery store in Troy, NY once that read,
"BAG = ICE."
I'm still pondering the cryptic meaning of that. While asking my wife to fetch me a few more bags to put into my Scotch.
