Wow, only a quarter of a cent for a bag! In Canada we got rid of the penny, so this would round down to free. Good deal!
True story: When I was in Britain in the early 80s, Parliament debated whether to get rid of the ha'penny coin. One of the Honourable Members rose to say that if they eliminated the ha'penny, Scotsmen would have nothing to tip with.
HEY!, Hey!, Hey!, Hey!, Well...Yeah.

And you apparently got rid of your $1 bill. I had several left unspent after doing a bunch of work in Calgary and Edmonton back in the '80s when I worked for Amoco (now BP). Many years later, I used one to pay the toll coming out of the airport in Halifax. The toll booth lady gave me $19.25 in change. I just waited and then heard an "OMG" and laughter. I handed $19 back and kept the $0.25. She said that she hadn't seen a $1 bill in years and the color looked like a $20. I told her that I had several more and asked if she would exchange them for loonies. She did, and that's the end of my Canadian $1 bill story.
I have occasionally (if they looked like they would be amused) asked a cashier if they could give me two tens for a five. Several of them almost went for it, then we had a good laugh about it.And you apparently got rid of your $1 bill.
