Fold up shopping bags
In Australia single use plastic bags have now been banned so no more getting caught short without a bag to put my shopping in. I had a few but none of them folded up and fitted into my handbag when not in use. The first photo shows full size with the pocket in the front where the bag fits into

Single use plastic bags are no longer used here in the UK either, but stronger 'bag for life' bags are used, and are replaced by the supermarket when no longer strong enough to carry items. Most people that I know use these bags, or bags that they have made themselves, baskets, fold up bags etc.
All countries should ban these single use bags, it is amazing how quickly you can get used to using other types of bag.
I use some fabric bags, and wash them when looking a little grubby.
Now, if only the supermarkets would cease wrapping every and any vegetable, in plastic that would be awesome. I try to buy loose veg, and take paper bags to put them in. Some supermarkets will be pleased to place your meat/fish purchases in your own containers too - wonderful.

No, sorry! I like the plastic bags! I reuse them for all kinds of things and would really miss them. I do shop in one grocery store that doesn't give them and I do bring my own totes there.
