11. Even More Reason for Heavy-Duty Canvas Shopping Bags if You Don't

Wed Jan 23, 2013, 04:24 PM

If I'm taking my groceries on the bus or walking a longish distance with them,
I'd much rather have them in heavy-duty canvas bags with handles.
Really good ones have handles that can function as shoulder straps.

Those single-use bags are flimsy. The reusable plastic ones are only a little better.

Good quality canvas shopping bags are worth the cost.

I came to that conclusion a few years back after having a rather nice bottle of wine
smash on the pavement when the flimsy paper bag broke.
