Now you can cut down on all those plastic bags you end up with everytime you go to the market. And some stores I shop in give a 5 or 10 cent cash back if you bring your own shopping bags. Baggu makes them in designer colors.

Those are great! I've been using these Reisenthal bags for groceries but love that the Baggu fold and store flat and have no zipper. Excellent find!

I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but it was getting pretty late.”

Splinky, that link is broken. Try this one: Reisenthel bags
Pim turned me on to those! I love them. They're available at the Container Store for just $7.99.

Sorry about the link. Yes, Container Store and Sam Flax have them.

My problem is that I hardly ever remember to take mine when I go shopping.
I keep one of the Riesenthels in my handbag.

Mine is a SportSac, in a size and configuration no longer made, and in theory it goes into my bag, although it's a tight fight. When I unpack it, though, I intend to just hand it up in the kitchen instead of putting it the bag.
