Right on, Maviskw! I have 3 denim bags that are over 30 years old. I have had to make them smaller because the baggers insist on filling them with canned goods and they are so heavy I can no longer carry them. One weighed 60 pounds when I staggered up the steps with it. One boy said he could get all my cans in one and when I told him that was not the object of bagging groceries, he walked away. Not fun.
