I made my own. It was completely different to the UK one, but still fun, and I get a lot of nice comments about it.[/quote]
Could you please give me permission to copy it? It is a terrific bag! What fabrics did you use? Thank You!

I use the small plastic bags as trash bags. When my supply overflows, I make sure to bring my own totes to the store.
I just remember when you could get a free one just about everywhere you go. Now folks want to charge for the silly things. Luckily I have a large stash of these as well.

I have been taking material bags to the stores for about a year now. Beware, I was in Kroger's last week and I had my bags under my purse. When I went to check out my bags were GONE :cry: They didn't take anything out of my purse,Im glad. Goes to show you, I thought I had a handle on my cart.
My bags come from "ACE" love them, really sturdy.
