Summergee Posted July 3, 2017 #1 Share Posted July 3, 2017 We are visiting USA and Canada in September and October. Will we need to pay for carrier bags in the shops? If so I will bring my folding bags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Hattie Posted July 3, 2017 #2 Share Posted July 3, 2017 It might depend on which states/cities you are visiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no cities in the US that do not provide plastic bags, but many charge a tax of $0.05-0.10 per bag, and finding somewhere to drop them off for recycling may be difficult. Some retailers, particularly grocery stores, provide a discount for bringing your own reusable bags. Providing it's not inconvenient, I would bring reusable bags with me.
