My favorite is a Reisenthel Mini Maxi bag my MIL bought me. It folds up nice and small so I can keep it in my purse all the time, but it holds more than a regular plastic shopping bag from a store. Seems very durable, too.</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Reisenthel-Mini-Maxi-Shopper-Yellow/dp/B002N34FQM/ref=sr_1_21?s=home-garden&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1345910257&#038;sr=1-21" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Reisenthel-Mini-Maxi-Shopper-Yellow/dp/B002N34FQM/ref=sr_1_21?s=home-garden&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1345910257&#038;sr=1-21</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-reusable-shopping-bags-do-you-use#post-270820 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 10:57:29 +0000 MsMamaBear 270820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am a Thirty-One consultant, so I use what I sell.LOL This is my grocery bag.

Too bad you can't wash them, though? Ideally, I wanted bags that I can throw in the wash all the time. </p> <p>@scg00387: thanks for the info! I think I'll probably get 5 .... now if only I could make up my mind about the prints. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-reusable-shopping-bags-do-you-use#post-270717 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 08:18:30 +0000 dagret 270717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the bags from reuse it.com - They have big reusable bags shaped like paper bags, and Their workhorse bag is shaped like a plastic bag and folds up in a pouch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-reusable-shopping-bags-do-you-use#post-270662 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 03:32:25 +0000 looch 270662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use ones that are made from recycled plastic bottles...I prefer bags that I can wipe down when I am carrying groceries. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-reusable-shopping-bags-do-you-use#post-270632 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 00:37:09 +0000 HLK208 270632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine are from trader joe's but I'd like to find some that are bigger. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-reusable-shopping-bags-do-you-use#post-270629 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 00:28:11 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 270629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>envirosax!!!!!! i have a bunch and love 'em!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-reusable-shopping-bags-do-you-use#post-270577 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 22:51:34 +0000 immabeetoo 270577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@andrea I don't think I've seen a lululemon bag :( so I am not a good compare-r. For my full cart I'd say 4 or 5 would be great but I always tell them I don't care what goes in with what :) It's amazing what fits in though - I have a 'spare' that lives in my purse &amp; will do the same with a diaper bag.</p> <p>I bought 4 of the fun bright prints.. just because! There was a $5/50 coupon on retailmenot.com &amp; I went through ebates, so after I added a 'milkies' (which I'd also wanted to try come delivery time and it's $17 instead of $26!) I qualified..I am officially banned from shopping the rest of the weekend! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-reusable-shopping-bags-do-you-use#post-270550 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 22:24:14 +0000 singingbee 270550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom got me some from QVC. They hook to the carts and you just pull them up when you are done. There is a regular one and a cooler one. LIke the ones below, but mine are leopard print pattern. : )</p> <p><a href="http://www.reuseit.com/store/reisenthel-easybags-p-2222.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.reuseit.com/store/reisenthel-easybags-p-2222.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-reusable-shopping-bags-do-you-use#post-270544 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 22:21:18 +0000 pinkcupcake 270544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a couple from Trader Joe's that I love.

How many do you fill up at the store? I normally have a pretty full shopping cart and fill up 4 large Lululemon bags. I was thinking about buying 5 Envirosax? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-reusable-shopping-bags-do-you-use#post-270526 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 22:10:28 +0000 immabeetoo 270526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@andrea they are on sale on zulily! <a href="http://www.zulily.com/e/envirosax-082012.html?pos=0" rel="nofollow">http://www.zulily.com/e/envirosax-082012.html?pos=0</a> they make great presents too :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-reusable-shopping-bags-do-you-use#post-262549 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 13:07:04 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 262549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought six from my grocery store for $0.50 each. I love how many groceries they hold because I don't have to take as many trips to my car when I'm unloading. It was especially nice when I lived in an upstairs apartment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-reusable-shopping-bags-do-you-use#post-262525 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 12:53:20 +0000 Andrea 262525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: thanks! Yeah, I think getting ones that you can wash are probably the best even though those store ones are sturdy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-reusable-shopping-bags-do-you-use#post-262523 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 12:51:05 +0000 regberadaisy 262523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: I will!<br /> @scg00387: the ones at my grocery stores are really sturdy! I've been using them for years. But then that grocery store is like a local version of Whole Foods. The only downside is that they're not washable but I can always wipe them down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-reusable-shopping-bags-do-you-use#post-262521 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 12:49:44 +0000 Mrs. Pen 262521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always get them from stores too!<br /> I have a few from Aldi's, one from a local cooperative, two from Whole Foods, one from Marshalls (it has owls on it!!), one from TJ Maxx and a hot and cold bag as well.</p> <p>I've seen some on etsy that are cool.</p> <p>Although this is something I've always wanted to try too!<br /> <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/284430532685789991/" rel="nofollow">http://pinterest.com/pin/284430532685789991/</a> or <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/284430532685824494/" rel="nofollow">http://pinterest.com/pin/284430532685824494/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-reusable-shopping-bags-do-you-use#post-262515 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 12:46:08 +0000 Andrea 262515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: seems like I have to get me some of those!!

I wash them regularly and have had one that's been used weekly for at least 4 years. LOVE them!!</p> <p>I hate the cheesy $1 ones grocery stores seem to carry - they wear out in a few months so it is just generating more trash any ways!</p> <p>I love stores that give 5 cents per bag back.. it adds up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-reusable-shopping-bags-do-you-use#post-261173 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 17:31:44 +0000 LemonLong 261173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a set of 5 envirosax, I love them! They roll up super small so they fit in my purse, they hold a ton, and the long straps makes it easy to carry in the groceries. I get lots of compliments about how cute they are! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-reusable-shopping-bags-do-you-use#post-261171 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 17:30:30 +0000 regberadaisy 261171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We buy the ones from local grocery stores for like $1! And we have a bunch from when I "hosted" a Ball Canning House Party!</p> <p>I really like the Envirosax ones and they're forever on sale sites. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-reusable-shopping-bags-do-you-use#post-261167 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 17:25:35 +0000 Honeybee 261167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the One Bag ata Time bags: big, sturdy, washable, and really cute prints! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-reusable-shopping-bags-do-you-use#post-261137 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 16:59:02 +0000 chopsuey 261137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't.. :P I reuse the paper bags I get though. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-reusable-shopping-bags-do-you-use#post-261127 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 16:51:37 +0000 Andrea 261127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I normally reuse Lululemon shopping bags since they are so big and good for groceries. You can't throw them in the wash, though (or can you?). I would rather have something that washes well. Any recs? </p>
