Reusable Shopping Bags: How do you like them?  |
| |
| I've made some reusable shopping bags, which are actually made to be like the Target plastic shopping bags instead of the standard tote fashion. I've used them for over a month now and love them, you can get 2-4 plastic bags worth of groceries or items into just one of these bags because they are so sturdy. I'm going to make some to sell on my Etsy shop but want to change them up a bit so that they really serve everyone's needs. So my question is, what do you like in a reusable shopping bag? Seperate compartments or dividers in some bags so glasses won't clink around? Pockets? Bags for cold items? Bags for produce? Big bags? Little bags? Flat bottom bags? Padded straps? Color preferences? What are your needs when it comes to using a reusable bag? Thanks! | | Reusable Grocery Bag by me | | | | |

| | I sometimes use them though very often I forget my bag at home because I am very used to get bags for free at the shop that anyway I reuse at least one more time. I heard just yesterday about shopping bags made out of potatoes. They take only 6 months to desintegrate in landfill, and cut into pieces you can even use them to fertilise your plants. A very good idea. | | | | | | |

| | Thanks for the helpful response, it's great to hear what people need in their bags. When using as a daily bag would something like a place to hang keys and somewhere to keep cards/cash work? Or do you need more space to carry items aside from shopping items? | | | |

| | yup separate compartments for things is great. things like durability also plays a part. another concern would be how it looks. it shouldn't look like a grocery bag if i'm carrying it for work as well. maybe you can consider a padded waterproof compartment which can be used for both laptops and frozen food. i would love to have a bag like this. cheers ;D | | | |

| | Thanks so much! That really helps. I get the idea of something that works for work and shopping, I hadn't thought of that. The main bags I have and am designing look like grocery bags but an additional laptop/work bag is an awesome idea. | | | |

| | I love those! Indeed, I have a couple left from my shopping trip with my clothing store. It's gray in color and it could contain a lot of stuff, it's made of cloth and it's more sustainable. Indeed, it's more presentable too! I would love to have a black and red one though. | | | | | | |

| | Black and red are my fave colors! Yes the bags are so much more sustainable and it does look a lot better. I hate using the clear plastic bags when you have to go get your girly products. | | | |

| | I like the looks of your bags. You are very creative. A big plus to me would be that it would be a dark color, or bright, so it does not show dirt. I would like a pocket to put my keys in, maybe one to put the wallet in. My brother hand painted a canvas bag for me, but I find that once I washed it it raveled. You may want to experiment with different fabrics to suit different people. One of your responders wants to be able to fold it up small, well that means rip stop nylon, probably. Someone else wants to insulate hot and cold, well that means either quilted fabric, or a quilted liner inside of a heavy fabric. You are so smart. I should make some of these. Another thing to be aware of is that some stores will credit you, like my Dillons (Kroger) did this morning. They gave me 5cents off because I brought my own bag. They will credit a nickel per bag. I like the outside pocket on your pictured bag. | | | | | | |

| | Thanks so much! It all started because our satellite got hit by lighting for the 3rd time and we were out tv for 2 weeks, so we starting crafting to pass time, lol. I was thinking of offering my bags in sets, like different size/purpose bags and adding a lanyard type rope made of cloth with a hook in each bag. Then along with the bag a small pocket/purse and key ring, that way no matter which bag in the set you use, you'll have a place to put your keys and cards and somewhere to hook them for safe keeping. That's cool about the discount, we have a Kroger so I'll have to try that. I was wondering if anyone did that because bringing in your own bag saves the store from having to buy as many. Thanks for the tips too! | | | |

| | Your ideas are awesome! I love a very heavy bag in the standard tote form, myself, but I have one of the 't-shirt bag' style ones that I use. I think offering bags that have dividers for glass and a small pockets are terrific ideas. I have one bag that has a small pouch where I put small amounts of fruit, and that comes in very handy. | | | | | | |

| | I use reusable grocery bags. I got the Safeway one, the Superstore Black ones, and I bought some from Value Village, some old cloth bags and I got a gift bag when we went on our Alaskan Cruise. I have them ranging from big to small, and everytime we go grocery shopping, we take them along with us. It comes in handy since we shop at Superstore and we have to pay for plastic bags. The only thing is that we run out of bags for groceries so I have to spend money on other stuff to get some. | | | | | | |
