Reusable Grocery Bags (Score: 1) by bryan@pipedot.org on 2015-01-03 00:55 (#2WMX) All of the grocery stores around here (Texas) have reusable cloth bags at the check-out counters. For a couple of bucks you get a durable cloth bag that can be used hundreds of times and wont break when carrying heavy objects like milk or orange juice bottles. For me, plastic bags "died" years ago. Re: Reusable Grocery Bags (Score: 1, Insightful) by Anonymous Coward on 2015-01-03 01:03 (#2WMY) Try carrying meat in those. Hope your dairy products don't spill. Yes, the cloth bags can be good for dry boxed products.

They're cloth. They can be cleaned easily. I have a dedicated machine in my basement for doing so, with another one dedicated to drying them.

You just doubled your laundry's carbon footprint to keep from using 100% recyclable bags. I don't see that as a net positive.

The cloth grocery bags just happen to fit that category. Re: Reusable Grocery Bags (Score: 1) by morgan@pipedot.org on 2015-01-13 20:44 (#2WPY) I can see that, re-reading it.
