The Tesco handy "green" bag, it's nice to know they will last so long :rotfl:. I just sling odd things straight in my handbag too.

I wouldn't use any of the plastic "bags for life" as they annoy me. It's still a plastic bag that will break and go into landfill in the end! Silly notion, much better to use a reusable, durable fabric bag that will last much longer, and then upon its deteriorating so much as to no longer be usable, it can be recycled or is biodegradable.

morrisons do good ones that fold up and clip together in 3 sizes

If i go in the the car i just get the thin free carrier bags, but mostly i'll walk with a rucksack on and when that's full that's it, anything else can wait until another day.

I'm still using the Cath Kidston tesco bags that were on sale in 2008. The cost around £3 at the time and were made from recycled bottles. According to the label they can't be washed, but mine have been in and out of the washing machine many times.

I collected the whole set, with a little help from Penelope Penguin who sent me one that I couldn't find. They're still gorgeous two years down the line and I really hope Tesco do a promotion like this again soon. Some examples here and they are still available on ebay.

My favourite at the mo is a very sturdy jute bag which is approx 30x30x30cm. It holds a lot, being square (box like) in shape, but is not as big as the majority you get from supermarkets. Everything stacks in it very neatly. It was given to me, and I am on the look out to buy some more if I can find some.

Rather sadly, perhaps I buy supermarket bags when I am on holiday. I have 2 lovely ones from California, some bright Carrefour ones from France, an orange Globus one from Germany, plus some rather nice jute ones from various farm shops around the country.

A cheap holiday souvenir (most are £1 or less) and they cheer me up whilst doing rather a dull chore.

I have a bag like this from sainsburys which is a really convenient size and just bought another almost identical from the local National Trust shop for £2.50. They are ideal for a small shop and a good size for a small person like me.

I also use 2 large black fabric bags from M&S(I think are recycled paper stuff) and a couple of bags for life.

I forgot my bags this week when I went to Mr T so used theirs. Several ripped before I had packed them and put them in the trolley and the rest ripped getting them out of the car. As I said to the woman in the store 'how can I re use them if they are carp?' She agreed they were rubbish.

I've got one, but I havent risked sticking it in the WM. It's getting a bit grubby now. What temperature do you do them on Pink?

Just a 40 degrees quick wash...mine had got so grubby that I probably wasn't going to use it any more, so I reckoned that I had nothing to lose, and it came out spotless and didn't lose it's shape. :j
