| Free Cloth tote bag
These bags are great (if it's what I've used before).
They hold 3 or 4 times what plastic and paper does and you can still carry it with one hand.
I like free. Free Cloth tote bag |

funny theres a sizeable debate here on the right side about plastic bags from supermarkets . some big chains have started to charge for them and there's been pressure on government to make the charge cumpulsory to encourage more people to use "reusable" bags.
i lovingly pack our shopping into big reusables - from our local retail giant - they do indeed hold lots more than the litlle flimsy plastic things and of course they create less waste.
i'll post pics of me lovingly packing and carrying at a later date.............. always leave 'em wanting more  |

I can't stand the plastic bags. they break on me all the time!
I have eyeballed those totes they sell for like a dollar each at the isle but I don't like how tiny they are. Fit less than the plastics. So haven't found any good ones yet as I would end up preferring to use those only because i am tired of my bags breaking on me. |

The cloth totes are good. Just don't try to wash the canvas ones, they will shrink to the size of a change purse. 
While they don't look any bigger than the plastic, they hold more because they are so sturdy and the sides are gusseted. So you can pack them really full. |

Quiz was ridiulously easy.
Pick the longest answer 7/10 of them.
I wouldnt mind using the cloth bags. But I save the plastic bags and use them for other random purposes all the time. |

Chances are, I won't remember to use them when I go shopping. I prefer using paper 80% of the time anyway. |

yeah quiz was easy. I didn't even read the articles with each question to get the answer. i just guessed. but didn't give me my score though. |

Well, I haven't seen them. And if they're free .... it may not be the best and the biggest but who knows...
In the stores here they have many different kinds and shapes. |
