What shopping bags do you use?

I have 4 shopping bags that I've used for about 6 years and they are finally getting old and worn. They are the kind that folds up with a clip, I think in tesco they are called the handy green bag.
I want some new ones, preferably that folds up nice and neat, but they need to be strong and quite big!
What does everyone else use to carry your shopping in? I assume you're not all plastic bag users!

I have an Aldi Bag which is quite big, a large M&S Bag which is really sturdy, a couple of Asda reusable bags from years ago but they are smaller than the others.Lucylema x :j0

I have a trolley dolly which is pretty good! SO many bags and really comfortable on the hands. You also get reusable bags for your fruit & veg that don't effect the weight of the fruitFeb GC: £200 Spent: £190.790

We use the big blue Mr T bags that fold up to quite a small size. We've had them for a good few years and seem quite durable as they get used every week and (touch wood) no problems so far! There's also an assortment of the flimsier reusable bags in the collection, as well as some of the more hard wearing jute ones for smaller shops.

I have a sainsburys jute bag. It's nice and strong and the right size for me, I'm too short to use most reusable bags as they're too big and drag on the floor! I can prop it on my shoulder on the walk back and it balances with my handbag full of the heavy shopping!Living cheap in central London :rotfl:0

Also use the big Sainsbury's jute bag and bags for life.
Felines are my favourite

We use the hessian type bags from Tesco - they will go into each other, but they don't fold down neatly.Resolution:

I use a wicker shopping basket when going to the local shop for just a few bits and pieces, and a pull along trolley for fruit/vegetables and heavier items when I go further:)0

I use a plastic fold-up crate and also a M&S coolbag for chilled/frozen goods. Obviously this only works with a car or taxi for transport.0

I have a few Co-op "bags for life"...or so they're called. I prefer to call them "bag for a month" cos they're useless! I have 4 Nescafe ones made of something like hessian...strong & they carry lots. Got them with my collected beans!0
