I bought several canvas bags at Trader Joes a few years ago. Unfortunately, they don't sell them any longer- these were good and heavy but the seams are finally giving out. I did find a few REALLY nice ones at A&P last month- they're sized like a paper bag but slightly plastic coated (bad, but VERY durable because of it) with double nylon handles- one for carrying, one set for shoulder straps. They should get me through many more years as my TJ's bags finally unravel. I carry a bag everywhere- mall, groceries, Target, etc. It's a rare day we bring a store bag home.

@one4earth and Sweeet Greens. I always stick my bags in front of my groceries on the check out counter. Then they are really hard to miss, even for Captain Obvious checker or if I forget to tell them.

Hi one4earth,
I totally agree. I am so paranoid about it that before I let them start checking me out. I say, "I have my own bags." I have to make sure they are paying attention.

I always take my own bags! Will share one thing that is annoying...when you bring your own bags and they start bagging before you have a chance to tell them and then they unbag the groceries and toss the bag they used!!! I have asked them to just give it to me. I will at least reuse it or recycle it! grr! Sorry for the rant! LOL

I made most of my own bags our of cotton. Blogged about it here. I linked to the pattern for anyone who wants to make thier own too.

I've been using them for over a year now and I love it! I so prefer fabric bags over plastic. My home made ones are holding up better than the re-usable ones you can find in the grocery check out areas now.

All my bags can be held in one bag and tossed in the truck so they're always there ready for when I shop.

Looking forward to reading others' experiences too!
