Regular Vege King shoppers Pat and Les Oldman have a boot full of reusable bags in their car.
Both support the plastic bag ban, and have been using cloth bags for about six years.
They remember shopping when plastic wasn't common.
"The meat was wrapped in white paper with newspaper around it, milk was in glass bottles, flour in paper bags. It worked perfectly," Les said.
"I guess we have just gone with the flow until we have realised what has happened to the environment from plastic," Pat said.

Climate change is the most critical issue of the moment, and has been described by our prime minister as her generation's "nuclear-free moment". Its impacts, regardless of your views on it, are only going to get greater.

A housing shakeup is planned for Waikato, aimed at helping people get out of unstable renting situations.
At its heart is a trust which would own land and charge a "peppercorn lease" to people who own or rent houses on it.
Hamilton City Council is setting aside $2 million to start the trust and has been talking with various community groups - but hopes it will attract more contributors and go Waikato-wide.
What do you think of the plan? Should the city council be tackling these kinds of issues?
