I didn’t bring my old plastic bags to the store because they tended to wear out quickly and not hold up to repeated usage with weight. So they were better suited to being garbage bags in small bins around the home than they were to regular reuse for groceries, in my experience.
As for dog poo, I thought there were special bags for those that are compostable or something? I don’t have a dog, so I’m not sure, but I don’t think I ever regularly saw people using grocery store bags for that.
there are municipally compostable dog poop bags, but they’re the ‘single serving’ size, at least that is all that I’ve seen
I need to use a leak proof bag to place my dog poop into the green bin at home for the city to collect it, and I don’t pick up my dog’s poop from the yard individually, I do batches every few days, which are too large to fit into the single use bags (also would require many of them!). regular grocery store bags were perfect for this
