My reusable bag has been a drawstring backpack that I picked up from a thrift store for 80 cents five years ago. It folds neatly and fits inside the slacks back pocket where it stays. It has become almost as essential as my wallet. As it is like a hundred times stronger than the paper or plastic bags you get at the store, usage is not limited to just carrying grocery. I love my reusable bag.

Multi-use bags made from re-cycled plastic bags (Reminds me of Kramer's coffee table book about coffee tables books.)

No, no grief, but I find people who work at grocery stores that are used to just tossing everything into plastic bags by the hundreds, have NO idea how to efficiently pack my roomy reusable bags. I usually get outside the store and rearrange everything so the weight is more evenly distributed to make carrying easier. They can't even pack bread properly so it doesn't get squished


Note: I was at a Dollarama last night and bought a few very light items. (forgot my bag which is rare). I opened the bag and realized that the dumb*ss had double bagged them. Such a waste of plastic.
