We’ve been using reusable bags at the grocery for over a year. We have 2 Kroger bags and 2 Trader Joe's bags. Four bags is USUALLY enough for us. We’ve gotten into the habit and remember to take them 99% of the time. We even have 2 reusable produce bags (we lost one but I want to buy more anyway). I hate when I make an unplanned trip to the grocery and don’t have any bags. While I could just store the ones we use in the car, the ones we have aren’t very compact and definitely won’t be lasting indefinitely.
I’ve been contemplating the purchase of some new reusable bags for MONTHS. I want some that are sturdy yet compact when folded and I want them to be durable. At first, I thought I wanted a set of Envirosax, preferably this style. But when I finally decided to buy them, they were out of stock. In the meantime, I kept looking at the ones on reuseit.com. I want some that will work at Kroger and Walmart so the cashier doesn’t huff and puff when I pass them over so I’ve also considered something like this. But I also like these and these.I think this is a case for Nancy!
I'd love to hear what you use as well as suggestions about what I should buy!

My two cents: they need to be washable, because if the get meat juice in them, that's just gross.
I like the bags with some structure, so you don't get dirty looks from the cashier. But bulky bags in the car aren't an option.
I have two Trader Joe's and two Vera Bradley. I also get paper now and then if we have lots of stuff, and I try to use them for something - like when I make bread.
Good Luck!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who gets dirty looks about my reusable bags!
I read an article somewhat recently about the bacteria growing in reusable bags. So listen to Nancy...get washable bags!
