Where to Get Rewards for Bringing Your Own Reusable Bags


Local Places in Maine:

CVS - sells the Green Bag Tag for 99c. Bring your own bags and have them scan it and after 4 trips (must be on different days), you will receive a $1 ECB* at the register.

Target - Offers 5c per reusable bag that is used to bag your purchases

Trader Joes – entry into a drawing

Whole Foods – 10 cents per bag

I know that Hannaford used to offer 5 cents per bag but I did a quick search and I'm only finding information saying that it was discontinued sometime in early 2009. Does anybody know if they brought the program back?

Other Stores around the Country:

Bi-Lo – 5 cents per bag
Fareway 
- 5 cents per bag

Foodland 
- 5 cents per bag

Fred Meyers
 – 5 cents per bag

Giant 
- 5 cents per bag

Hy-Vee
 – 5 – 10 cents per bag (select locations?)

King Soopers
 – 5 cents per bag

Kroger 
- 4 cents per bag (some give 5 fuel points)

Military Base Exchange
 – 5 cents per bag

Pathmark 
- 2 cents per bag

Pick n Save
 – 5 cents per bag

Raley’s and NobHill 
- 5 cents per bag

Redners 
- 3 cents per bag

Stop N Shop 
- 5 cents per bag

Shoppers 
- 5 cents per bag

Shoprite 
- 5 cents per bag

Stew Leonard’s
 – 5 cents per bag

Sun Harvest
 – 5 cents per bag

Sunflower Markets
 – 10 cents per bag

Winco – 5 cents per bag

Does anybody know of any other stores that provide rewards when you bring your own bags?  Admittedly, I have four or five of them but I can never seem to remember to bring them with me.  I'm going to try to be better about this though.  Even though I do recycle the disposable plastic bags that I get when I'm out shopping it still seems wasteful.  

*ECB at CVS is similar to Rite Aid's +UP rewards.
