ShopRite Still Offers Bag Rebate

Gone are the days when you could get a few cents back by bringing a reusable bag to Stop and Shop.

The supermarket chain recently decided to end the rebate in many of its Westchester County and Connecticut stores.

Affected in the area around Pelham were the stores in New Rochelle, Yonkers, Eastchester and Mount Vernon.

However, ShopRite in New Rochelle is still giving customers a break when they reuse bags.

Spokeswoman Santina Stankevich said they have not plans to discontinue the practice of giving back 2 cents per plastic bag or 5 cents for a cloth bag.

And people can still recycle their bags at the store.

"We also have recycling bins, usually in the front," Stankevich said.
