I used to use the cotton bags – but they flop too much. Costco has returned the best reusable bags for sale… they’re blue nylon with red handles – they have a flat bottom when they’re open. They have slots for 4 wine bottles on the side. They are INCREDIBLY strong and can be packed full. Because of the flat bottom and the stiffness of the nylon – they can be put in the back of a car and not flop over, rolling all the contents around the back.

These are NOT to be confused with the awful green costco branded reusable bags… those are too big/unwieldy and have the same floppiness of the cotton bags.

These blue ones are inexpensive. I think it’s 5 bags for $6 or something. I bought 10 of them when they first had them 4 years ago… then they switched out to these oversized green ones that were useless… I recently purchased more blue ones when I saw they had them in stock again.

We use them for groceries, for hauling sporting gear, etc…

Oh – and they can be wiped down easily if you’re worried about salmonella… I spray with diluted vinegar and wipe them down.

I credit the increase to back-to-school. I dropped a chunk at staples filling out the mandatory shopping list.

Target’s drop may be in part to a boycott from some in the left because of their political contributions in the wake of the Citizens United supreme court decision. (Target was the first big corp to make openly partison contributions in local races… )

(Note – I’m not trying to start a discussion of whether Target should/shouldn’t make political contributions and which partison side they should support… But I suspect the boycott was a factor in some of their retail sales.)

Disclaimer, I own Costco stock so any increase there is great. I’ve spent huge amounts of money at Target, as well. Probably my two biggest retailers I spend at.

Fine. Have you considered breaking your foot? Just drop a monitor on it 🙂

You have no idea how much that made me laugh. Thanks.
