Depends (not the diaper).

Not a single sprmkt in my area carries paper bags. I know two liquor
stores that use them and one has bags as thick as old 50's mkt bags. I
jes wrapped a USPS pkg with 'em. Also used some brwn paper wine bags
for my fruit cake (fail!).

Yes you do! Most stores here expect you to bring your own bags. At some
stores if you want a bag, you buy it. And there is no way I would use a bag
like that to put loose food in. Nor do I need or want a paper bag!

The trend here is for biodegradable bags.

No bag is more bioderadable than a brown paper bag except for a
douchebag.

Every stupidmarket here gives a choice of brown paper bags or
plastic... most smalol stores only use paper bags. I bring my own
cloth bags for major shopping but still they place the groceries in
bags first and I usually choose paper, because their plastic bags are
crap, they get holes in them before they get home. But I buy plastic
bags by the case, a thousand for like $8 at Sam's Club and they're
strong, I use them for cat litter.

Where you live is obviously not where everyone else lives. I don't have
a problem finding brown paper bags. I ask for them rather than plastic
at the checkout and they're happy to use them.

You'd hate the farm stands around here. I bought small red new potatoes
at the farm stand the other day. The farmer who sold them to me weighed
them and put them into a *small brown paper bag*.

The problem I have with bringing my own (how very GREEN) bags is I never
know how much I'll be buying. I always start with a basic list but that
is not what I walk out of the store with. I'm supposed to know how many
bags to bring in from my car before I start shopping? Uh, no.

I do. They want recycled newspapers placed in them, not in plastic, when
they're put in the recycle barrel.

I save paper grocery bags for lining waste paper baskets, I can't use
plastic bags because two of my cats will eat them... don't know what
it is that attracts cats to plastic bags but I'm not taking any
chances so I use paper bags and I don't put any plastic wrapping where
those two devils can get to it.

The only paper bags I get are from the CSA. When I shop in stores I always
use my own bags.
