It worked in Sweden because the bags you can buy (used to) cost 7kr (about a US dollar in purchasing power). So even though those bags are heavier and sturdier people do reuse them. I cringe every time I have to buy one because I didn't plan ahead.

I think its the same here in Australia. Whats more, a lot of the bags you pay extra for are paper anyhow.
