The plastic crap DOES tear. It’s made from recycled milk jugs. Almost makes you wonder why those are recycled if that is to be the end product.

The stores I’ve seen that use them know that they tear so they double bag every plastic bag. And it is not uncommon to see the baggers having 5-10 little bags of purchases for one customer.

Paper grocery sacks aren’t what they once were either and some stores now double bag those as well.

So, we can't use plastic and we can't use paper. I gather I am supposed to collect an assortment of some 12 odd bags to lug to and from the grocery store each time. Cuz I don't have enough crap to think about.

Besides, sometimes the bag is part of the shopping experience. Which would explain why leftists hate them. Make life as unpleasant as possible, that's their motto.

You are right about that.

I have 4 bags about 16 in x 16 in x 16 in D,
made from hemp and they are the strongest
thing around.

I fill myself and I can get approx. 8 plastic bags worth
in 2 hemp bags. Long straps and short straps so
I can carry over my shoulder or by hand.

The only thing is you have to remember to grab them from the car.
