I have a random assortment of bags. For impromptu trips, I use an EZ Bag (bought at local museum store) that I try to always carry with me; small planned trips bring out my Envirosax; large grocery store runs bring out the rest of the bags (random assortment, mostly free from trade shows).
If it's not a "Not a Plastic bag", what do you carry your groceries in?

funkylala.com carries the beau tote.
expensive for a tote $44 but they donate a portion to charity - which is cool.

And a bunch of those reusable totes you get from the grocery and a medium sized LL Bean bag.

Me too! I use them to bring lunches to work too since the bottom is wide enough to fit a medium sized tupperware container without it toppling over.
When I visited my cousin in Germany, this was what his wife always did. I have to climb 3 flights so the reusable store bags with the handles work well for me especially since I can put them over my shoulder.
Please stop using plastic! They're such a litter problem, even if you reuse them! Sadly, some people call them the "national flower" in South Africa because they're so prevalent. GREAT THREAD.
I used to get a LOT of groceries, so I thought I could never "bring my own bags" cause I wouldn't have enough. However, I fit 12 plastic bags worth of stuff in my 4 (or 5 if I have lots of stuff!) reuseable bags. I've been using them for over 2 years. I got three of them at Ikea (BIG and STRONG) and two of them at Hannaford, a grocery store up here in New England. I get 5 cents every time I use them. So... I've saved up some money, too! (Perhaps this will mean a new coach wristlet...

I am "designing" a tote for an artist-series benefit at Open Space Gallery in Beacon, NY. Maybe I will post pictures of it when I am done.
The opening will be April 12th from 6-9pm if there is anyone interested. The proceeds will go to the Hudson River Sloop Clearwater.
I'll try to remember to bump this later.
