Just as a thought, instead of buying the reusable grocery bags at the stores that have them, or making your own which takes up valuable quilting time, why not go to the thrift stores and buy them there. I have seen some at the Goodwill store for 50 cents each. This also gives you a chance to look for quilting fabrics.

I like to stitch a quilt block over the logos on my store bought bags!

Fantastic idea!!!!

Good idea. I've also bought some at Goodwill and other thrift-type stores. However, when we're traveling, I often do buy the store bags as a "souvenir" of places we've been...and grocery stores where I've shopped ).

I like the idea of "souvenir" bags but I also get them free from stores sometimes (advertised as buy something and get a free bag or just be there as the first 100 or whatever). There is one store here, you had to buy the bag and it had their name on it, but that was OK because you got a "discount" when you used their reuseable bags. When they quit giving the discount, I painted over their name. So there!

some of the groceries near my country house give 10cents off for each bag you've brought and use.

I just personalized some for my mother-in-law just brighten her day more or less I had some blocks left that I made for her quilt.

Sewing quilt blocks over the logo is such a good idea- the HEB grocery stores here always have cute Texas-themed reusable bags. I have so many already, though...

I have a ton of tote bags (you can never have too many) and haven't paid for any of them. We only get 3 cents off per bag at our grocery and you have to remind them to do it.

I miss HEB so much. We lived in Waco for several years and I loved shopping there. Wish they had had the Texas themed bags then. Next time we go to Texas, I'm going to check out some of their stores and maybe find some bags to bring home.
