I loathe modern grocery store "reusable" bags. They can't be recycled, in that I can't toss them into my blue bin, I have to take them back to the store (I don't) and story is nothing happens to them anyway. I hate the texture of them, I hate the way the lay. I find them just awful. For the grocery store, we have a set of, I guess, 10 or so cloth bags we use. We've used the core set every week for over 12 years. Had a tailor stitch up a hole in one of them once, wash them every few months. We have a large, cloth Target logo'd bag I stuff in the bottom. It's about 1.5x the size of the normal ones, if I put it on top they inevitably drag it out first and fill it with the milk, juice, bowling balls (both of them), cinder blocks and whatever else is super heavy that we happened to buy that day. "But it fits!" "Yea, and now it weight 50lb!" Couldn't stuff it with cotton balls, stuffed animals, and the Cool Whip. So, yea, bottom of the bag it goes. I know there are concerns with cloth, and we wrap notably meats in the light plastic bags to help contain contamination. It's not been a real problem. We've just started (past few months) using reusable mesh bags for the produce, that's working out ok so far. |
