Saran wrap vs veggie bags

Thanks all for the anecdotal evidence against Saran Wrap--I won't
even try it now. (Working on a newcomer event that is supposed to
stay a newcomer event by excluding those who have won anything
before.)

Enter veggie bags!? At my favorite cheap grocery store, the only
veggie bags I found, (free on those tear-off rolls) were very sturdy
(bigger than I remember) and were way too heavy.

I know, I know, go to another grocery store. I will. But.

But, I wonder if this is a bellweather of impending change? Remember
how grocery push carts used to be a reasonable handy size? Yet some
marketing genius figured out that a volkswagon-sized push cart made
people fill it up higher and buy more. It's possible that these
bigger, stronger veggie bags may be doing the same thing. As I said,
this was a cheap Baggit-Yo-Seff store.

Anyhow, the ones I found were 3.95 gram at about 11.5" x 19" flat.
That works out to 3X what Bruce says a light veggie bag weighs per
sq. in.

I have to find something that everyone in US has easy access to.
