I also use the reusable bags at the commissary and love them. I leave them in my trunk, along with my market bag (the large straw tote I use at the farmer's market). They are easy to carry, easily filled, and store well. I have 7 bags, but I think there's only been one or two trips where I've used all of them. I have washed them (handwash cycle w/ cold water) and they came out fine.
As for the idea of charging for the plastic bags, that idea is not completely foreign to me. They do it everywhere here in Germany. You HAVE to bring your own bags to the Aldi or get charged 5 cents of a euro for every plastic bag you use. But I can see how it's kind of dumb to charge, especially since a lot of people reuse/recycle them. I don't buy trashbags... I think it's dumb to literally put my money in the trash... and that's what I'd be doing if I lived in Seattle if I were forced to buy plastic bags. And .20 seems a little ludacrous.
