This is one of those things that bug me when I go grocery shopping. I notice a lot of people pick up a bunch of bananas and put them in a plastic bag. Personally I don't see the point of putting them in a bag - they go straight in the trolley as is.
So, just for a bit of fun, I'm curious to hear what others do with their bananas  -------------

Don't bag, we wrap the sticker round at Pak 'n' Save.
We only bag things that we are getting more than 2/3 of. But we do bag small things like mandarins. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

No bag... but I don't bag anything, checkout operators hate me lol. And bananas come already 'wrapped' in their skins, why on earth would you need a bag! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

No I don't put bananas in a bag. I use cloth bags too for the groceries (shop at Countdown) but do use plastic bags for the other fruit/veges. Wish I didn't have to but we get heaps of fruit so not sure what else to do with it. Maybe I could make a few drawstring bags and use those, lol, dunno? ------------- DD 4yrs DS 2yrs http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

Going against everyone else, I've never really thought about it and use a bag for everything. Guess that's not very enviro-friendly and I take my reusable bags with me for the end, so no reason I can't put them in there.... will stop wasting bags ------------- http://alterna-tickers.com">

Yeah I'm the same as Chelle. I bag everything *slaps hand* I'd never really thought about it, although now that I do the idea of my fruit and vege sitting at the bottom of a dirty shopping trolley does gross me out. Maybe I should look into cloth bags too -------------

I don't bag bananas but I do bag other stuff just to get the bags. We re-use them for other things. My peeve is that Countdown and Foodtown don't provide paper bags for the mushrooms. At least not in my area. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

No bag here either- I don't bag anything and take my own bags. i find that the checkout operators won't bag my shopping for me, even with a 15 month old toddler in tow. It really bugs me and despite saying something, it inevitably happens the next time I go.
Come on people- just because they don't fit on the plastic bag handles doesn't mean you can't pack my groceries  ------------- http://www.thebump.com/?utm_source=ticker&utm_medium=UBB&utm_campaign=tickers"> |
