Borrow a Bag

Why Buy When You Can Borrow?

Forgot your bags? No problem. With IGA’s Borrow a Bag program, you can shop sustainably without buying or storing extra bags.

A Smarter Way to Shop

At IGA, we know reusable bags can pile up or be easily forgotten. That’s why we created Borrow a Bag. This simple, eco-friendly solution lets you borrow a bag at checkout for a small refundable deposit. When you’re done, return the bag and get your deposit back—it’s that easy!

Three Simple Steps to Borrowing a Bag

1. Borrow at Checkout: Request a bag at checkout and pay a small refundable deposit.

2. Use the Bag: Take it home, fill it with your groceries, and enjoy the convenience.

3. Return for a Refund: Bring the bag back on your next trip and we’ll refund your deposit.

Every Borrow a Bag is professionally cleaned and sanitized before being reused, so you can shop with peace of mind. This program is part of our commitment to reducing waste and making a positive impact in our communities.
