So if you still want a free bag and a new one each time.
It works like this.
Use self serve.
1st time bring in an old bag get 6 cent credit (So far only Winco does this, I heard food for less does too, but not confirmed)
put groceries in old bag (old bag first time only)
At the end of transaction, they ask how many bags did you use.
Tell them 1, and pay 5 Cents (comes off of the 6 cent credit) put new bag in with your groceries.

Next time come in with your new bag, that you bought the first time (never used), get 6 cent credit, use your new bag for groceries, purchase another new bag at end of transaction.

So now you get a new bag each time you come in, to use next time you come in. And you make a penny each time.

I just beat the system.  Laughing
I understand what you are saying.  I just don't think it matters. Not for me it doesn't. A mandatory price?  Yes, you are buying the bag. Big deal.  I'm not worried about some fancy games to get out of paying for a bag. If I forget my bag, I don't buy one, I just put the items in my basket, take it to my car and unload it into a bag in the car. But congratulations on beating the 'system'.

I'm with you on this. I'm always impressed by the ingenuity some people will bring to any challenge. And I give attaboys to chuck for his determination. But this is just too trivial to motivate me. I just store my shopping bags in my vehicle so there there when needed. Though I still got caught without once or twice. Then I just did like you said or pay the nickle.

I don't understand the "use your own bag" bounty. It doesn't really make sense anymore.
What "bounty"?

The practice of paying a customer for using their own bags instead of store provided bags. Now that stores aren't allowed to provide bags for free I don't understand the logic of this practice.
 Stores are not allowed to provide free SINGLE USE bags. So people now bring their own RE USEABLE bags and there are no longer ten bazillions bags being made and then thrown away.
If Winco wants to of pay a customer for using their own bags instead of store provided bags it still accomplishes the same goal.
