We have had a little discussion/experiment going on over at Betty’s place regarding reusable grocery bags vs. plastic grocery bags, and I have to admit, I am pretty impressed with the reusable ones.  They hold an incredible amount of groceries, as she demonstrates here.  She ended up ordering hers through EcoBags, and got a couple that were torn, but it seems that they were doing everything possible to make sure that she was a satisfied customer and are replacing the bags.

I decided to order mine through Go-Again Bags, which she also suggested.  I emailed them to make sure that the bags came with a removable insert (stiffener) for the bottom of the bags, and they emailed me back within five minutes and confirmed that they did (I was very happy about their quick response).  The ones from Go-Again are about half the price of the ones from EcoBags, and when you are a mother of two on a budget during Dance Recital season, that is a great selling point - even better, is that you can find them on Ebay for even cheaper.

So I am doing my part and have ordered my green (because according to Betty the green ones “Pop”) reusable grocery bags.  I will let you guys know how they fare when they come in.  I will keep them in the trunk of my car, so that I have them whenever I need them.  They look like they will actually be a lot easier to carry than the plastic and the paper ones.
