PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Customers leave Ikea's 29 U.S. stores every day with Nordic-named housewares and assemble-it-yourself furniture, but the Swedish home furnishings retailer wants to see shoppers walk out with one less thing: a plastic bag. 

Ikea announced Tuesday that it will start charging customers 5 cents for every plastic bag they use to carry their booty of Glasklar dishes and Bibbi Snurr blankets.
