Each bar is wrapped in cellophane, which are then wrapped in the normal outer packaging. To make the 4 pack, they simply took 2x two packs and put them on a cardboard tray,and then wrapped those.

I don't think I've ever gone through so much unwrapping for candy.

We haven't been able to find a Walmart Pickup location that doesn't use way too many plastic grocery bags, so we finally got around to buying and using reusable bags, and it's so much better! I can actually bring in the groceries in one trip now. I'm never going back. IDK why the shoppers at Walmart insist on putting only 1 or 2 items in each plastic bag. I understand keeping some items separate for food safety, but this is ridiculous! I used to live close to my grandma who crochets plastic grocery bags into sleeping pads for unhoused folks, but we moved away from her and have no use for 20-30 plastic bags a week.

I’ve always wondered why they use so many as well! I assume it’s each group of items that a single shopper pulls goes into one bag and they have one shopper per like four aisles or something. I have nothing to base that on though, whatever it is it’s a ridiculous amount of bags.

If you get delivery they will sometimes put three or four bags with a single item each all into another bag so they can carry it easier.

What's funny is after living in NYC for 5 years and being forced to use reusable bags for years I got used to it. I moved to Miami about 5 months ago and I'm Downtown so I can walk to most places I need to go, and bring a reusable bag with me. A lot of stores down here aren't used to customers using a reusable bag, so I would tend to get a lot of looks haha I'd walk across the street to get my groceries and they would give me like 5-10 plastic bags when I'm like "I can fit like 75% of it in my backpack and these two bags".
