I generally take my own bags to the store, but like most people, I sometimes forget and the clerk will ask, "Paper or plastic?” I probably overthink it. Early Ozarkers had a choice in what they carried their items in as well, oak or hickory. Before bags, baskets carried eggs, flowers, groceries, laundry and everything else that wouldn’t leak.
