Step One: Acquire some re-usable bags that you can take with you when you travel. I know it feels like you are giving in if you don't embrace the idea, by the way Utah is split on the initiative, but this way you will be prepared when you are out of your shopping comfort areas.

Step Two: Lean how to fold them in a neat tidy manner. Sisterpledge has a great step by step video to help you.

Step Three: Store your nicely folded bags in the car you travel in. You can store them in a bigger bag and tuck them under a seat or somewhere out of the way. This way just in case you happen to be in an area where plastic is not en vogue you are ready to go.
