I think some people might be adverse to getting all those bags and then having to remember them every time, lug all fifteen bags into the store, etc., etc. Of course in reality it is really not the hassle it seems to be in people's imaginations! Also, if you didn't want to buy canvas bags or get some for free using Joy's great tip, you could always reuse your plastic bags several times.

The canvas ones can be had for about $1 at most stores these days.

I have often heard the argument that you'd need to buy fifteen canvas bags to accomodate a load of groceries. I have just three bags and can fit all my groceries in them. (Granted, I do not do mega-shopping trips.) That’s a good point, Alissa. I have often heard the argument that you’d need to buy fifteen canvas bags to accomodate a load of groceries.

I'm a recent canvas bag convert, and I love them. :) They're so much sturdier, and they hold so much more! I leave them in the trunk of my car so that I always have them with me. Hey,
