Jewel-Osco to offer reusable bags amid plastic bag ban

CHICAGO (WLS) -- Chicago's ban on plastic bags goes into effect in two weeks. However, you might not notice anything different at Jewel-Osco stores.

The grocery store will begin offering a reusable plastic bag on August 1 when the ban goes into effect. They say the bag is thicker and more durable. Other bags will also be for sale, starting at 10 cents.
