Well paper is cheaper than material now days, so doubt if it happens. I use to wear flour sack dresses when I was a little kid. Oh, darn, just gave my age away. laughing

I believe you can still get large bags of flour in cloth bags at the grocery store. I've seen it many times.

Our coffee shop on the corner has beans delivered in grain sack bags, so I asked to buy a couple and they said that they recycle them into shopping bags and then sold them. i wanted a couple to make grain sack flowers so I will have to try to get them from another coffee shop

First of all, I'd purchase those products however; when things came in cloth sacks, cardboard wasn't invented yet. When it was, cloth sacks went by the way side. Maybe when cotton is cheaper than recycled cardboard that trend will make a come back.

MARVELOUS IDEA!

The product could be put in a plain plastic bag and then into the feed sack. I would be willing to pay a little extra for a product like that. It would still be economical on getting the feed sacks.

Come visit Oregon. State law prohibits self serve gas. Here, you pull up to the pump, roll down your window and hand the attendant your card. He pumps your gas, washes your window and some places offer to check your oil. They say this service costs us 3 cents a gallon. Worth it to me.
