I shopped at Woodman's...an employee owned grocery store in Madison. I was really focused on not buying things in plastic. I found juice in glass jars, tins and cans. And frozen veggies in cardboard boxes. They don't have a bulk section but most of the veggies are in big boxes and you pick out what you need ( no plastic bags!)
I brought canvas bags but ran out so asked for paper. I didn't watch closely enough. I ended up with two plastic bags ( for apples and soap.) In the future, I will make a stronger statement. "I'm trying very hard to not use plastic at all..so no plastic bags please."

Yes...I always use my canvas bags BUT they want to put meat and frozen in plastic. SO I bought ONE thermal bag. I know, it's plastic but I intend to use it for years and years! Meat, frozen things, can go in there.
When you pick up a pound of green beans. What do you put them in? They have to weigh it at the register. I have almost a dozen canvas bags now...so I rarely run out.
I take them into Walgreens and Walmart if I have to shop there...we are not Walmart fans. Also Office Depot, etc. You just need to get in the habit.
