They don't provide bags and they might not have free boxes to give you, they try and encourage people to bring their own, yet they do sell bags, reusable and paper. If you are going to use a shopping cart, make sure to have a quarter, you'd get a quarter back when you return the cart, not the same quarter.
I finally am starting to get enough pomegranates where I cannot eat them all fresh. In any case, I prefer the juice, even with soft seeded varieties. I did a little research on how to juice pomegranates and while the manual juicers look nice, I really do not have the room for one of these. This video shows you how to hand juice a pomegranate. A word of warning, start to squeeze slowly to avoid squirting the juice everywhere and use a large bowl that might help catch any squirts. Do not wear nice clothes while doing this. I have a nice part of shorts in the was right now....
The hand juicing part of the video starts at the 1:50 mark.
Yet some pomegranates are too hard to squeeze like that, I have one of the most powerful citrus presses there is and even that thing with half a pomegranate I struggle to squeeze some of them, I think that the harder and that the bigger the seeds are the harder it is to squeeze the pomegranate. I can feel and hear the seeds eventually crushing on the hardest seeded pomegranates. The softest seeded pomegranates should work great with that method.
Also the bigger a pomegranate is, the harder it is to squeeze them.
Yes, many cultivars of pomegranates actually dye clothes, yet not all of them stain. The lighter aril ones do not.
