In the UK, Waitrose sell a re-usable bag or £1 ($1.25). It's a good quality bag and you're not going to throw it away.

Not sure on the actual data but other grocery stores have gradually increased the price of re-usable bags to the point where they are cost enough to make you think twice about paying for them.

Seeing people awkwardly carrying random items back home without a bag is not uncommon.

I do reuse those but not all that many times.

I do still buy a lot of bags and I sometimes do not have one on me.
