I bag my own groceries.  I put all the cold stuff together. Canned goods together. Bananas and fruit together, toothpaste and toilet paper together and so on.  It's easier to put the groceries away when you get home.  You use less bags.  You can also bring your own bags.  Some stores give credit for using returned grocery bags.
It's so frustrating getting home and dealing with all those nasty plastic bags that don't compost.  I also use the plastic bags for trash bags. If you can't bag your own groceries put your items up on the counter in the order you would like them bagged and tell the clerk what you want done and why.  They never seem to mind.
