Well that’s a bummer! I figured it was all Krogers. Sorry about that Dian, and thanks for checking.

I called 2 local Kroger’s and they said they stopped that program 2 years ago. It must be regional?

CJ,
The news about the bags actually just went national this week, so it may take a while before all stores have it rolled out properly. If they don’t know next time, you might want to ask a manager about it.

I had no idea that Kroger offers incentives like that! I have been shopping at Kroger for a few years now, and always bring my own bags! I will mention it to someone next time! Thanks for the heads up!

Last time I was at Target I asked the cashier about bag credits and she had no idea what I meant.

My Target will credit you for any re-useable bag not just theirs. Also the Stop and Shop (Giant) gives a .05 credit for bringing your own bags (even the plastic ones sometimes). .-= Julie´s last blog ..Freebies !!! =-.

The cashier at my local Target told me that I would only get credit for the Target brand reusable bags that I had. I don’t know if every Target is the same or not. Bummer.

D, it should be on your receipt. The cashier will scan a special bar code sticker that is on the wall of their station. Just watch to make sure they do so. If not, speak up!

I get a 5 cent credit at the Fred Meyer and 6 cent credit at WinCo Foods in Gresham, OR.
I am pretty sure I have recovered the cost of the bags by now!
