Thanks everyone for your suggestions...Howler, that was exactly what I was looking for. We have also started to use other peoples bags as well (over the weekend we have recruited friends and family to get us bags...have to try the beer store too). AdamH - we have always wondered about the silica litter...maybe now is a good time to try. D-Rawk...I will PM you my info, but if you can find a local outlet that would probably be much better for you...another place that tends to need plastic bags are day-care facilities. Thanks everyone!
