What shopping bags do you use?

I have a "craft trolley" instead of a wheely bag, but I'd like a wheely bag... just can't bring myself to do it yet. I'm only 28 and I'd feel a bit wierd!
Hee hee, I'm only 26 and I have one! Mine came from TK Maxx and was reduced but it's got a lovely almost Quiksilver-y pattern and it's insulated so good for cold stuff. It's right handy, I even used it for the Download Festival and it did very well over grass, mud and stones."We always find something, hey Didi, to give us the impression we exist?"

I love the trolley idea - what do you do with it when you're walking round the shop, does it hook on to the shopping trolley?
I usually just keep my bags in one bag, in the car. Then leave them by the door so I don't forget to put them back in the car next time I go out.
Remembering to take them from the car into the shop is a different matter, I do forget a lot

Mine folds up so I fold it down and put it in a trolley. Also, takes some room up in the trolley so I put less stuff in it."We always find something, hey Didi, to give us the impression we exist?" Samuel Beckett, Waiting for Godot.

I might have to have a look at the trollies, I couldn't forget and leave it in the car, it'd be too big to miss.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Old style MoneySaving boards.

I'm in Wales & think its a brill idea. I have a large orla Kierly bag I bought in Tesco as well as a Cath K one (love her!) & I have 3 hessian ones I got with my Nescafe beans yrs ago when they actually gave away great stuff with them. I also keep the FarmFoods ones as they're better than most "bags for life" some shops sell you.
I remember back in the 80's going to KWIKS withmy parents & they charged for the carrier back then! Why this wasn't rolled out when KWIKS did it I will never know! My parents never bought them & used the cardboard boxes instead x0 -
I have a stock of hessian bags on bamboo sticks that are used as carrier bags in India. (I visit each year)
Indeed in the up-market shops they use plastic bags whereas the ordinary shops put everything into the cotton or hessian bags.
My friends love the bags, so too students as they hold 4 A4 files as well as a laptop.

Ooooh, Pinkmami, where are you in Wales? I see you're from the People's Republic of Snowdonia like me :j and either nationalist or a Cymraes cymraeg.
I thought I was alone!! :rotfl: Trolleys are definately useful round our way, flaming 40 degree inclines with plastic bags digging into my hands are no fun whatsoever!"We always find something, hey Didi, to give us the impression we exist?" Samuel Beckett, Waiting for Godot.

I'm not one for a trolly. No matter how fab they look & how trendy they are I'd still feel like my nan!0 -
I use Morsbags which I made a couple of years ago and I haven't had a problem with them.
I gave some to my son in the US and his father in law rates them as the handles don't cut into his fingers when they are full of groceries.0
