Reddit mentions of Inteplast Group THW1VAL"Thank You" Handled T-Shirt Bags, 11 1/2 x 21, Polyethylene, White (Case of 900), White/Red (IBSTHW1VAL)

For those of you, like me, who are going to miss having the versatile plastic shopping bag, you can buy 900 of them at Amazon for about $25. Those stupid small garbage bags cost about $46 for 360 of them; what a rip-off! And they don't have handles!

And it says "Thank you! Have a nice day!" I like that.

Here you go. 25 bucks. 900 bags. You'll be set for the next decade.

I just bought 900 bags for 2 cents each on Amazon. Definitely not using any fewer bags than before.

I realize I'm in the minority here, but I really don't like this for so many reasons including:

• the 10x increased waste / transport cost of paper bag replacements
  
• the sheer convenience of free plastic bags and their myriad advantages over paper: light, handles, waterproof (as a parent this is huge), airtight
  
• Currently the grocery store is the place where I recycle much of the mailer packaging I receive from online shopping, popped VacPacs and whatnot. You'll see a message on them that says "recycle with plastic bags". If the grocery store no longer uses plastic bags what incentive is there for them to keep and empty those recycle bins?
  
• government overreach; I'm as liberal as they come but freedom is f-cking important. Bans are serious business.
  
  For those that need plastic bags here's a link to the ones I have purchased. If you time it right you can get 900 for $10.
