I've been sorting out my shopping bag collection so I can take the excess up to the food cupboard. They have really gotten out of control, it's going to take multiple trips to take them. In future I definitely need to get rid of extras straight away instead of stashing them to sort "later".

My shopping bag cupboard is overstuffed to the point that if I open it some will fall out. I have been remembering to grab some when I go to the shops lately but I should really do a cleanout. I probably have a bunch of plastic bags in there from before they got rid of them.

You know you've got too many when they're all in the boot of your car and there's no room for the shopping. 🤷‍♀️

Salvos & Vinnies etc. will accept them if you have an overflow.

Yes, they do - I have given some to the Salvos before. The food cupboard has been having problems with people taking the boxes that are supposed to stay in the cupboard to carry their things, so I'm hoping having some bags there will help with that.
