No more plastic grocery bags in the grocery stores. So you bring your own recyclable grocery bags, not a problem. However, if you order pick-up or delivery, you are forced to purchase their recyclable grocery bags. At places like Stop N Stop they are 50 cents each. So if your pick-up order has 7 bags, the charge is $3.50. Not a huge deal in terms of cost, because the bags can be reused. However, if you do a pick-up order each week where you are forced to purchase 7 bags that $3.50 a week for about $175.00 a year. But that's not the worst of it, that is an annual accumulation of 350 bags per year. What is your household going to do with 350 recycle bags accumulating each year? Throwing them out sounds wasteful and not good for the environment.
Unless there is another alternative, I see this as killing their pick-up and delivery service for many households.
They can tax the bags now. That’s all this has ever been about. NowI have to buy big plastic bags whenever I make an unexpected stop at the store. I also have to buy small plastic bags for the small garbage cans around my house. This November and next I’ll be so happy to vote for every non-incumbent on the ballot. Probably won’t change anything in NJ but I’ll even beg others in my neighborhood to vote against them, something I’ve never done before.
Shoprite sells heavier duty plastic bags for .35 cents with a sign saying 150 uses will save the plastic of 1 traditional plastic bag. Lmao.. I hate clutter at my house, have no use for these bags like for dog waste or as a bathroom trashcan so I just threw out 150 bags worth of plastic. Will happily do it everytime.
I’m not paying for a single bag. We’ve adjusted our shopping habits again. We went through this in NY already a few years ago. After the hypocrisy of masks, which are littered EVERYWHERE, no one’s going to tell me this isn’t all about money.

Donate the bags to your local THRIFT SHOP. They need them. I was in one over the weekend and they said they were running out of bags already.
Reusable bags are plastic too. They are harder-to- dissolve plastic than before for environment.
Why stupid government Allows plastic at all?
Paper, cloth , etc, if they are serious about environment.
because these reusable bags are made in clean energy China and have to be transported overseas on electric vessels to meet NJ’s strict environmental requirements. you might not see the bigger picture, but these reusable bags will eventually reverse climate change (2 degrees annually)

Meh personally dont like supporting thrift shops, the idea sounds great but its one corrupt massive pyramid scheme. Plus you can literally buy these heavy use bags for fractions of a penny from green energy china.
