Reusable bags- How much would you pay?
Comments (9)Tiffy, I had read that somewhere, it makes sense to me too, but my DH is a hard one to convince! We made wind shields for some young newly-planted evergreens this year, we'll see how they do in their little shelters of burlap. In the spring there will be yards of burlap to dispose of, I wonder if it could be an effective mulch? One of the garden catalogs has nylon bags for sale, 3 of them for one price under $20, and they were quite attractive. If I didn't have my old bags I would get those for myself. They fold up into little pouches. However if they go on clearance I will be very tempted to buy. Let me know if you want the company name. The same company has a set of 3 recycling bags in 3 different colors also at a reasonable price, they also interest me because we don't have a recyclables collection here in the country, we have to take them to a center ourselves....See MoreExcellent reusable shopping bag source
Comments (2)Okay, I think it's wonderful that all these reusable shopping bags are now for SALE. So, we pay money for these bags because they are fashionable and "cute". Come on now! Don't we all have a closet full of those give away bags. I personally use two that my husband brought home from a golf tourny. They are perfect. Zipper top, nice size and best of all FREE. I'm not poor, I can certainly afford pretty bags but lets get reasonable folks. How much do you want to bet that those bags say IKEA in bold letters. Free advertisement. Rant over.

Comments (30)Most of mine live in the car. I live in a condo, so I'm not making a special trip out to the car (down a flight of stairs, out the building, and walking halfway around the building to the assigned parking spot) just to put the bags back. I fold them so they all fit in one bag, then hang them on the doorknob of the front door and take them out to the car the next time I leave. I have one bag hanging in the broom closet for returnable bottles, which I mostly remember to take with me when I head to the supermarket. I return the bottles and then use the bag for groceries. I have a small nylon bag, that is the size and shape of a plastic grocery bag, that folds up into its own little pouch. That lives in my handbag, ready for any spontaneous, impromptu purchases....See MoreKitchen Garbage Bags 13-gallon, what do you use?
Comments (8)Look for bags that say they are "compostable" (even if you don't compost). You can buy them on Amazon; they are ecofriendly and biodegradable even in a landfill without air and light. The downside is that they will also break down in your main garbage can as you wait for however many days for garbage pickup in your town. I have been using the non-eco-friendly Hefty The Gripper bags since forever, mostly because I like the drawstring, and because my mother used Hefty bags when I was growing up, so those are the ones I automatically reach for at the supermarket without thought. They do the job. But I do feel I need to switch to something that at least is from recycled materials. I will be following this thread for suggestions. As to bags that will break down, I am thinking about trying Green Earth bags, but don't yet have firsthand experience with them....See Morekathyg_in_mi
