Paper or Plastic?

Many grocery stores and other retail outlets have added a new option to packing your items.  It is the bag made from recycled materials.  They come in many colors and often have the store logo printed on them. While not everything that is promoted under the "going green" agrees with my preferences, I do love these new bags.

In fact, I have found I use them for many things in the house in additionn to carrying groceries home.  Because the bottom of these bags are wider than most, they are able to carry or contain items that are not suitable for most tote bags.  Those with the reinforced bottoms of plastic or covered cardboard are the most useful as they create a firm structure for placing items. 

Some uses are carring books to the library, containing craft items, storing purses, packing dry goods for a picnic, etc.   If you have not tried them, you may be surprised at how useful they can be.
