New Jersey's bag ban means bring your own reusable grocery bags. What options are stores offering shoppers?
Shop N Bag, which is also branded as Foodtown, had a limited selection in the Farmingdale store. Six-gallon plastic bags were priced at $1.49. Looking for a Mother’s Day gift? You can buy a fancier bag with a mom-oriented message for $2.49. This bag is slightly smaller, but made from slightly heaver, shiny plastic than the utilitarian model.
Canvas tote shopping bags that can be slung over the shoulder are $3.99, $2.99 buys a slightly smaller carryall cloth bag with a breakfast or pickle theme. The plastic “Greetings from New Jersey” bag is $1.98. There also was a separate display between the self-check out and entrance. For 98 cents you get a standard-sized post-consumer recycled polyester bag.A stop for coffee at the Wawa on Route 36 in Hazlet had a surprise – a poly-cloth bag for 35 cents. This thin-walled bag is more of a tote than grocery bag size. I bought one and tested it out on a grocery run. It holds a lot, but we’ll see how well the thin poly-cloth fibers hold up over time.
The standard-sized reusable is a favorite bag in my “fleet.” I’ve road-tested three of them over three years and they’re still serving faithfully. Sadly, the plastic bottom panel that was included in the bags several tears ago isn’t offered. The top of the line is an $11.99 insulted bag.
