Let's say you buy groceries every week of the year. That's $10/52 = $0.19. If you use this for 2 years then it will be less than a 10 cent bag.

Now let's say your a wasteful person, and actually spend $10 every single trip, you're gonna be tossing a cloth bag, which isn't as bad as plastic.

Or the 10¢ plastic bags are now reusable …. Now I’m getting into the habit of reusing them, and the cost is rapidly approaching zero. They’re still plastic, but that also means they are lighter, more compact, and they’re an improvement in that I do re-use them many times. It means that yes, I’ve accumulated 100 in my trunk so I always have enough and I’m not afraid to throw one out if it is contaminated

When the cloth bags first came out, I typically saw them for more like $1. Maybe I’m spoiled by that expectation
