After washing my grocery totes I throw them into the back of my car. I've found the easiest way to carry them into the store is to hang them on the cup holders in the carts at our store. I just store all the totes into one. I took a couple of the recycle bags apart since they had met their demise and used them for patterns for new ones. Since DH and I sometimes pick things up on the weekends, I've gotten my husband to keep a couple in his truck. Made those out of denim. He has actually used. He just tells the clerks he'll bag them himself. store policies don't like to put more than 8 lbs in a bag. heart patients are usually limited to 10 lbs. Stores don't want to be held liable.
