Just ask for a cardboard box. Supermarkets have masses of boxes which just go to waste or recycling. My local puts them near the checkouts for customers to grab.

Costco packs everything this way and it’s great.

Eh, it's not so great trying to dispose of all the boxes, plus all the excess packaging from Costco trips. My recycling bin is completely full after a Costco trip, and it takes forever to break everything down and dispose of it.

I like the reusable bags, when I remember to take them!
