I usually try to buy as many groceries as I can fit into my backpack (If I'm riding my bike to the store) or my backpack + two other bags, if I'm riding the bus. It's amazing how much less crap I buy now that I have to carry it all home without a car. No more soda, for example. the only heavy jugs are milk and juice. Ice cream is bought in pints, everything in quantities I use in a few days (I live alone, mostly).
Lots of people at my store bring their own sacs. They get a discount. 10cents a bag. and they're usually easier to carry. I don't do it, because I usually go on the way home from work, and I don't like to carry around the extra bags everyday.
