Reusable Shopping Bags

I always said I would never get them, what a hassle, etc. Boy was I wrong. LOVE them! They hold so much and are so much easier to carry than plastic ones. I forget to put them back in my car a lot, but I'm getting better at it Chat Icon

Re: Reusable Shopping Bags

I bought one from Trader Joes a while back and I LOVE it. I live on the second floor and carrying up that one bag opposed to three plastic ones makes life so much nicer. Have to go back and buy more.

Re: Reusable Shopping Bags

I got an insulated one and a regular one for Christmas so I now have 3. I just don't know about putting meat in them.

Re: Reusable Shopping Bags

I love them too! They are so much better than plastic bags.

I have 6 and that is all I need usually for a regular weekly trip.

Re: Reusable Shopping Bags

I love the reusable shopping bags!! I got some great ones from Whole Foods with nice, long straps so I can carry them on my shoulders too. I hate making trips back and forth to the car, and with these bags I can carry a lot more at once.

Also, in terms of the raw meat, I put it all in one plastic bag, and then inside the reusable one. I get really skeeved when it comes to raw meat coming in contact with anything.

They are the best!

I have the Whole Foods ones and I've never used more than 5 bags - usually just 4. And we buy a TON of food every week!

They make it so much easier to carry the food from the car into our place... I can just throw them on my shoulders!

Re: Reusable Shopping Bags

I absolutely love them, but sometimes I forget them in my trunk and don't remember until I'm on line at the supermarket, or I leave them in the house.

LOVE them! I also have a little fold up bag for my purse for when I am running errands, not for groceries.

Re: Reusable Shopping Bags

I forget them a lot, but I love using them. The one from Stop & Shop is my favorite - I feel like it's the biggest one I have and has a reinforced bottom.

Re: Reusable Shopping Bags

We have about 8 of them that we use at stop and shop. We also like that they take .05 cents off your order for each bag you use. Doesn't seem liek much but it adds up.

Re: Reusable Shopping Bags

I ONLY use re-usable shooping bags. If I forget when I get to the store, I get so mad at myself Chat Icon

I actually got a pack of 10 online! But I have never used more than 4 for my weekly shopping trips. They fit so much more than plastic bags and they are good for the environment

I agree, they are easy. You can carry so much more in them, loading and unloading doesn't take as long.
