Prairie~Phlox Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Either a favorite one you got at a store, or that you ordered? Just looking for some good sturdy totes, but don't want to spend a fortune. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnM Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 I like the smaller ones from our local grocery store for most things, but Aldi has huge ones and they really come in handy for lighter things like bread and cereal....you can fit a lot in there! Of course, it helps if you actually remember to take them with you.....which I don't. Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom-ninja. Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 check out reusablebags.com as they have a large selection. I love love love these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternalknot Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 A second recommendation for Reusablebags. But if you're wanting something you can buy in-person, Trader Joe's makes some great ones for just a buck or two. Much sturdier than the wimpy Target and grocery store types :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cera Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Do you want them for groceries or just for carrying odds and ends? I love the boat and tote bags from LL Bean. We keep one in the car with towels/suits, use one for library books, keep a second in the car with kid essentials now that we are done with diaper bags, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OH Kim Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 I stick to canvas as much as possible. I've had several for almost 20 years and they're still solid, if a bit stained. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prudent Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 I had several brands of the canvas or grocery store ones, and the handles would always tear off under our frequent use. Home Depot sells some nylon (or polyester?) ones in their signature orange color. They're garish, but have lasted me 2 years. They have black clips on them that fit the sides of a grocery cart so you can easily load your groceries in them. They are .99 each. We have 5. Hubby & I always keep one or two in our cars and use them for everything. I toss them in the wash occasionally to keep them fresh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lllll Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 The best ones I've had over the years have come from grocery stores - nice heavy-duty cloth. All our grocery stores have gone to that thin, synthetic stuff though. It 'frizzes' and picks up every cat hair it touches. :glare: So I went looking for better ones. I found canvas bags for $7 each at our local natural foods coop store. But the best deal was at Wal Mart. At the end of the summer, I got 'beach bags' made of semi-waterproof material, nice long over-the-shoulder handles, places for cell phone and water bottle, deep ... for $5 each. I loaded up while they were getting rid of them. Not much help for you now, but something to keep in mind for next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KristineinKS Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 These aren't canvas, but they're pretty handy: Envirosax. I carry a couple of them in my purse & they're great - very roomy too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
