Ah, Lotus Tesco, think "Thai Walmart", has an even simpler solution.
they offer a discount for those that don't require a plastic bag.

Marsh Supermarket gives you a nickel off for each bag you re-use, but
not if you want your stuff loose in the cart. Which I always do when
cycling; much easier to pack groceries into panniers if I don't have
to unpack them first. And my habit of using crumpled grocery bags as
packing material means that I always have plenty of bags when I need
to hang something off the side.

I found a trick for bungeeing a loaf of bread to the rack: put it in
a bag, tie the handles of the bag to the front of the rack, puncture
the bottom of the bag in two places while hooking bungee cords to the
back of the rack.

I've been shopping at Mash lately, more's the pity -- because of the
location, I rarely go there unless I'm on the way home from the
dentist. But after Thursday I won't need another followup until my
regular appointment in August.

At Kroger, I never use the self-service checkouts. The bag boy is
delighted when I say I don't want my groceries packed; the machine has
a nervous breakdown if you don't put each item scanned into a bag.
Putting it on the platform the bag rests on won't do.
