Go a step further and you can use very stylish reusable cloth sandwich size bags. Save money and the earth at the sametime. You can even throw them in the washing machine. They are made by a mama of three (I taught her kids) visit her websit www.happy-sacks.com Give the bags to someone who needs them- I have a ton from yards sales. I love that so many people are taking the plunge. Go girls!!! How about all those ziplock bags we use in our kids lunches and for a snack for weekend outing.

I don't use it every time I shop (because I'm very forgetful), but it works great, and nothing flops around... it's a knockoff of those "Riesenthel" collapsible basket totes. Very handy!

That said, I do have canvas bags that I use (especially great for the gallons of milk I now buy) but they are bulky! These would be nice to have. -K I actually use my many plastic bags for garbage (I have one of those small under the sink garbage cans that barely fits anything – but uses plastic bags).
