Not all Dollar Stores sell these but we buy the Baby King plastic diaper bags at our Dollar Store for picking up our dog's business on his walk. $1 for 75 bags. Much cheaper than those bags they sell at the pet store.
 
Great tip. We have a small dog, so we use already used baggies - even cheaper since we're already using them.
 
What has worked out great for us is that we bought the starter pack also for a dollar. It has a bag holder that fits on the leash so you do not have to look for grocery sacks when furbaby wants a walk. Only problem with the dollar store bags is that Dd uses 2 layers on long walks. But overall we love the dollar store bags.
 
We used those dollar store doggie baggies for wrapping our son's used diapers in when we were out in public. They work great for that as well.
 

I also use bread bags and produce bags. Used to use grocery store bags but now our county taxes them so I use reuse able bags to avoid the tax.
 
I just splurge and buy biodegradable poop bags on Amazon. It makes me ill thinking about using a plastic bag for a single piece of poop. I feel the same way about disposable baby diapers (cloth is the only way to go). At home, I just use one bag and use a hand trowel (we have 2 small dogs, Maltese) so I only use one bag for several poops at home.

LOVE that you are environmentally conscience! I had 2 Great Danes and I too was sick with the plastic..we would use our newspaper bags too. I don't bag my produce and use my own bags at the stores. IF I need a bag a the store, the clerks know me as the paper nazi - I REFUSE PLASTIC!
