Some still prefer the convenience of plastic bags for groceries, while others have yet to form the habit of bringing their own bags.
On the first day of implementation, early morning shoppers at Giant, Sheng Siong and NTUC FairPrice supermarkets were seen toting reusable bags and dragging metal trolleys to contain their purchases.
To avoid paying for plastic bags, one shopper, Mr Andrew Ang, came well prepared with a large recycling bag and a trolley containing multiple transparent flat top bags for his fresh produce. One customer who decided to pay and said he will continue to pay for plastic bags is Mr John Sin, a retiree who uses a personal mobility device to get around.
"You need to bring it out and back. Now when I walk I have to use my cane, it's not convenient. I have no choice but to spend 10 cents or 20 cents now," he added. "I like to bring what I buy back home in good condition," he said. The retiree said he would reuse the plastic bag on his next grocery trip.
