In Australia, Adelaide anyway, we do not have plastic bags anymore. They were banned earlier this year. Everywhere sells bags or has these plastic ones that can be recycled.
So you always have to remember to have a bag with you.

I like compact reusable bags that fit in your purse so you can always have it with you.

For a great spur of the moment shopping bag, have a peek at this new one called Kozy Karma. The website is http://www.kozykarma.com. It zips up into itself and you can keep it in your purse at all times. It’s made of sturdy cotton canvas

Check out etsy.com for shopping bags. There are tons of styles. I also have a shop that sells grocery totes. All bags made from recycled material like vintage drapes, tablecloths, and sheets! It is a great way to recycle material that would have otherwise found its way to the landfill.

I love my Use It Again Sam bags, they are light and compact, come in great colors, and are affordable. You can carry them on your shoulder or by the handle. The owner donates a portion of her proceeds to Operation Homefront!

Many US groceries carry the .99 cent totes but they don’t offer the typical shopper any “convenience” other than the consumer’s desire to “go green” and eliminate another guilt trip in our cluttered minds. Personally I disliked having to carry 8 mini-totes with me every time I go shopping… So last year I founded a company to market a tote that is functional first….and “green” as a side benefit.
This tote is expandable and clips onto the shopping cart to load the goods. The best part is that all you need are 2 of them, which fit perfect in the cart; $100.00 worth of food in 2 bags!!! They have a folding flat bottom so on the drive home they don’t fall over…and once home…1 trip to the kitchen…I also market a beverage/wine bag which is great for wine or soda bottles and heavy cans. (Holds up to (6) 1.5 liter bottles).
They are made from polypropylene because it is safe for food, unlike the canvas/cloth bags can harbor mold and mildew and food borne bacteria. They wipe clean and drip dry if food spills in them, making them more eco-friendly than a bag made out of cloth or canvas which has to be washed month after month to keep it bacteria free.
Read the testimonials on my web-page and you can tell the consumer response to the product…they are real people excited about a simple tote…because it has made their shopping experience better.
I am dedicated to introduce more products to the line, such as wheeled totes for the elderly and urban shoppers, as well as insulated totes to transport frozen foods…all with the same functionality as my eco-totz product.
Winning the war on plastic bag pollution means delivering a functional product first…and oh by the way that has green benefits….
Take a look at http://www.eco-totz.com and please contact me with any suggestions or comments.

There are quite a few variations of these folding bags and wholesale suppliers of them in the UK. Here is one such familiar bag I found recently.

I have a rather large nylon shopping bag that folds into an attached pocket that then zips around on 3 sides. When folded it is about 3×5 inches total. My mum in Ireland bought it for me when they first went bag-less a few years back. I carry it in my purse or pocket so am never without when I need a bag.

My bag has no label, and I have searched far and wide for another one. Does the description sound familiar to anyone? It most closely resembles the Baggu, but the pocket it folks into is attached so you can’t loose it and it is a nifty blue floral pattern. Any ideas anyone?

I just got a Flip and tumble bag last week and I love it! It is so cute and easy to compact. The other bags I have are so hard to fold or compact or are not attractive. I just ordered more to give as gifts. My wife and kids will love them!

Mike, I’d be willing to bet that if you asked almost ANYONE that doesn’t use reusable bags for their used ones, they’d be soooo happy to give them to you for your dog poo!

Just curious, what do you reusable-bag-lovers who have dogs use to clean up after your best friend when he does his business on the sidewalk? That, frankly, is the only reason I haven’t made the switch yet.
