Sobeys Debuts Reusable Shopping BagSobeys is the latest retailer to launch a reusable grocery bag in an effort to "divert plastic bags from the waste stream". The Nova Scotia-based retailer's "Green Bag for Life" is available to customers for $1.99 and is guaranteed for life; in the event that the recyclable bag does wear out, Sobeys says consumers can return it for a free replacement. The bag, which holds up to 20 kilograms of groceries is available at Sobeys, IGA, Foodland and Price Chopper outlets across the country—with the exception of Quebec, where a reusable bag program already exists.
