Because milk in a bag can be carried in the same hand as about six other

bags.

Milk carried by the handle can only be carried in the same hand with maybe two other bags.

I'm with Joester on this one. Groceries go in bags. With handles. So, yes, I want my potatoes in a bag too. I know they are already in a bag, but that bag doesn't have handles which makes it infinitely more likely that I can't unload all the groceries in one trip.

If you want to save the planet, then put more groceries in one bag. There is no reason why $40 of groceries needs to be in 12 bags. It will fit in three or four.

Ditto. Why would anyone need milk in a bag? ** -- Hokie5150 04/27/2018 10:42PM

Some people might not have the hand strength or coordination -- Bleedin OandM 04/28/2018 8:14PM

To carry it from the store to the car then to the house -- JoesterVT 04/27/2018 11:06PM

Where do you shop? When I don't wear a shirt, they won't even let me inside ** -- MP4VT2004 04/27/2018 9:27PM

If there were no bags there'd be no bag ladies.....sad -- DonHo-kieHi 04/27/2018 8:08PM

Puh-lease care for Mother Earth ** -- astrohokie 04/27/2018 6:18PM

But what does caring for Mother Earth really look like? -- Tafkam Hokie 04/27/2018 6:38PM

So Mrs. Robinson was right! ** -- 48zip 04/27/2018 7:10PM

U just answered it l ** -- astrohokie 04/27/2018 6:55PM

Was worried you were going Canadian on us -- jmanatVT 04/27/2018 5:05PM

I remember when our school system went to milk in a bag years ago. -- HokieGator 04/27/2018 5:11PM

Because the store saves 1/500 of a cent if you say no. ** -- HokieNoVA 04/27/2018 4:47PM

You still go to a cashier instead of the self-checkout, Gramps? ** -- RhinoVT 04/27/2018 4:43PM

Screw self-checkout. I pay their labor cost and get nothing in return ** -- Hokie Bird 94 04/27/2018 7:45PM

I find self checkout to be a breath of fresh air. -- MP4VT2004 04/27/2018 9:37PM

Eh, it would have taken longer to involve a manager... -- MP4VT2004 04/28/2018 12:33AM

Fair enough, I don't suffer that garbage lightly either. I'd sure have ... -- Hokie Bird 94 04/27/2018 11:03PM

I think technically self checkout is a bit slower -- Tafkam Hokie 04/27/2018 10:02PM

Damn sure is if you go with 45 items through ut -- hoosnowahokie 04/27/2018 10:40PM

I would dispute that in my case - I have it down to a science. -- MP4VT2004 04/27/2018 10:13PM

I’ll bet you but I’ll take you a grocery store & buy a bunch of vegetables -- Hoakie82 04/27/2018 10:31PM

Haha. Yeah not taking that bet. ** -- MP4VT2004 04/27/2018 10:35PM

I think they're called udders. ** -- Stork 04/27/2018 4:30PM

Why put it in a plastic bag that will just rip - milk already has a handle ** -- VermontHokie 04/27/2018 4:17PM

Exactly. Never put the milk in a bag. -- HokieGator 04/27/2018 4:59PM

Yep, just a waste of a bag. ** -- hoosnowahokie 04/27/2018 4:22PM

Not if I've brought plenty of the reusable bags -- Hokie360 04/27/2018 7:11PM

They should be in Christiansburg. I went recently and wasn't paying attent -- hoosnowahokie 04/27/2018 10:36PM
