I have more plastic bags than I can use up and we use them to clean up after the dog. Also, every store that sells them discounts your groceries for 10 cents per bag. It doesn't take long to recoup the cost and save more in the future. As to taking food to work, that is why I have a backpack. Also environmentally, plastic bags are a nightmare.

Keep in mind as well that most places are moving to ban or eliminate plastic bags. So pretty soon people will have to switch anyways.
