I've purchased several of these bags, material, for $1.00. I keep them in great shape and keep them in the trunk of my car after each shopping trip. I also keep a few in my DH truck, in case we need them. Placing them back into the trunk of the car is my greatest challenge! lol We also go to these shows, where vendors provide brochures for home improvements, and they give out free bags, great colors too! Doesn't matter to me if we're helping them advertise!
