I don't remember which store it was, when I lived up north. Might've been Stop & Shop. But whoever it was, offered a 10-cent savings off your grocery bill per bag, if you brought in your own bags. There was a maximum savings per visit, so you couldn't put one item in each bag for 20 bags and expect a $2 discount.

But rather than charge 10 cents extra for their plastic bags, you did get that 10 cent discount for bringing yours in.
