Reuseable Grocery Bags

[geminigirl]

I am a big fan of the "green bags" (which come in both green and black) that our local grocery store (Publix, for the handful of people in the region) is selling. They have long handles that are easy to put over my shoulder and they've got nice flat bottoms so they stand up easily for loading and emptying. They're also on sale at the moment for 99 cents. While not as awesome as the Green Bins we get from Loblaw's/Canadian Superstore/whatever it's now called near my in-laws, I'm very pleased with them.

If anyone is looking for reusable grocery bags of this variety and would like me to get some of these for them, let me know. We have a mix of green and black ones, but if you have a color preference, I will do my best to abide by it.

Yes! Our store is selling them at $5 a pop. Can you get me six? I will send a Muppet check, which is even better than Monopoly money. :)

Of course. Does it matter if they're green or black, or should I just get what they have?

Green is better than black, but really any will do. Thank you! Will cover shipping, too. We shop a lot at BJ's and they don't provide bags. And they never have good boxes. We reuse the plastic bags in our garbage cans and fot litter. :)

They will probably be acquired on the way home this evening, and I will do my best to get them out to you ASAP.

Oooh, that sounds kickass. Would it be stupid expensive to ship them to CA? I need to be more hippy.

Are they better than the Trader Joe's ones?

I could ship them Priority Mail for about $5 or whatever the going rate is on the flat rate ones now. So no, it wouldn't be outrageous.

Sad fact: There is no TJs near me, so I don't know what they're offering for reusable bags right now. I prefer these to what I've seen in a lot of other stores because they stand up. As in, I can open them and leave them standing to fill them as you would a paper grocery bag.

This is a TJ one:

I just looked online and apparently Whole Foods sells Green Bags for 99 cents, too. Do the Publix ones have logos on them?

It sort of creeps me out how many plastic bags I have at home.

They say "Publix" across them in white letters (on the green bag) and in green letters (on the black bag)-it's far less obtrusive than the TJ's logo.
