Hi,

I am looking for cheap but good reusable grocery shop (jute could be the best). Could you help me to find some? Thank you!

IMO they're all the same, I use ones from Tesco, Sainsburys and Waitrose. Whilst they look slightly different and are different sizes they all can carry heavy weighted stuff without having the straps snap. I carried hom tonight what worked out to 15kilos (I was waiting for a bus and added it all up to keep my mind off the cold!).

I would say watch out for the more natural types, eg the styles which look really good in terms of style (such as the coffee bag versions at Sainsburys) as if you have a woolen coat they tend to 'bleed' fibers all over it and its an added hassel to clean off if you carry these bags with the straps on your shoulder.. Would imagine they'd also claw at delicate fabrics like silk or fine knit woolens. Not all the natural type bags do this though, its just the rougher type bags and Sainsburys aren't the only store to sell them.

Plain cotton? Available in various colours from:

Also avoids problems of loose fibres from jute etc as mentioned by others.
