One wore out after 8 years and I'm still using the second. No broken eggs yet. People notice the Chennai label and compliment me for my bag fashion.

Where we live all paper recycling needs to be in paper bags, so this is what we do with all our paper bags, they are used to bag the recycling. People with children in diapers who don't have a diaper genie or other some such will also appreciate the grocery bags, they're a good size for bagging one or two dirty diapers. We shop at the grocery store rarely enough that our plastic bags just keep up with our twins' downstairs diapers. I've noticed that bulk stores like BJ's and Costco don't have/offer bags. We actually buy most of our groceries there, which saves us money. Any thoughts on using those stores rather than the grocery stores?

In French supermarkets (granted the service in France overall is not exactly consumer-oeriented...), you have to bring your own bags, or they charge you 50c per bag! That's where I got into the habit of bringing my own sturdy saddle bags, that I conveniently hang on my bike rack -It has several benefits: you help save the planet (less plastic wasted), you use a non polluting transportation vehicle, and you get your exercise...as you might have to go to the store more than once a week - And possibly, you save money, as you have to carefully select the most necessary and nutrious items you can carry! I have this great sticker on my bike: Vehicle Powered By Food Thanks for a great post!
