Some of those sealed trays leak. Those are the only ones I bag in the
meat section. :-) The rest I don't bother with.

Some produce such as winter squash does not get bagged, but if I'm
buying things like tomatoes, it does. Carrots come pre-bagged, as do my
beloved romaine hearts.

My use of the flimsy's varies as appropriate.
