You bring your own bags or you haul your stuff away in a box (they have a large stack near the front door from inventory). As for tupperware, we've been finding it very useful lately. . .as the alternative to styrofoam take out containers. Tupperware wasn't my first choice. I am trying to stay away from plastics in general, but Jeremy refused to sit next to me at the burrito counter as I pulled an old glass jar out of my bag and stuffed my burrito remainders in the jar for later snacking. So, to preserve our marriage and reduce our waste stream at the same time, we chose tupperware. Hi Rin, our grocery store doesn’t offer bags anymore.
