If you're committed to reusable shopping bags (and we know many of you are), here's yet another great option: the Fresh Squeeze bag for $10.
When faced with the choice, however, A Fresh Squeeze also offers up analytical reasons on why plastic might actually be better than paper (or vice versa, depending on your habits thereafter); read all about it here. And not ones to just toot their own horn and push their own products, the Squeeze team also links us over to an entire site devoted to reusable bags (some favorites below).
I just ordered a few of the Acme Workhorse bags from reusablebags.com. They most closely simulate what regular plastic grocery bags look like, which means I can hang six of them on my arm, and they also fold up into a nifty, tiny pouch.
