I like the idea of the totes for groceries. Here, am Canadian, so many of the stores charge for bags. I can understand the reasoning behind it. But have found the bags are thinner than they were and sometimes by the time I get them home the bag is torn. I hate to think stores profiting from bag sales, but I think they may be. Unfortunately that is the way things go and we pay. I like the reusable bags for groceries and I like them even better when I take them into the store when I get groceries. And I like it that they can be washed. Enough complaining from me on a Sunday morning.lol
