Do I need to bring my own bags to put small items in when I shop at Lowes? Was told I did. Is this because of Covid? At Home Depot they give you the bags you need.

We haven't experienced this at the Redlands Lowes. They still have bags.

They have paper bags available at checkout. What's hard to find are lumber carts for use. They never seem to be around or are all in use.

No they have carts and bags

Bags are supplied that would be great environmental strategy to bring recycle reuse bags.
