The problem with bags is - let's call it the bachelor shopper. A modern man's clothes may have pockets, but he rarely wears any kind of handbag in which to hold the reusable shopping bag.

So it doesn't matter if they cost 1c, 10c or 1 eur - I am always buying new bags, have nowhere to put the bag when I am going outside. At least I also use them to throw away trash.

typical store-issued reusable shopping bags easily fold to pocket size, and bags that fold into convenient, integrated pocket-size holders are readilt available, too.

“I don’t have a way of carrying reusable bags” is a rationalization, not a reason.

Since NY doesn't have plastic bags for most shopping anymore, you see a lot more men carrying bags for shopping.

Fwiw, I throw a canvas bag in my pocket when I'm going to shop somewhere. And a lot of people carry backpacks anyway.
