Easier to carry. Whether cloth or polypropylene, the handles on reusable tote bags don’t cut into your hands when they are weighted down, making them more comfortable to carry. Get a bag with longer handles and it can even be slung over a shoulder.- Each bag can carry more and heavier items meaing fewer trips from the car to the house and easier to carry a large amount if you use public transport.
- When they aren’t being used to carry your shopping, they can carry other things such as books to go back to the library, dishes for a potluck, work files, crafts…all without concerns about ripping from sharp items or too much weight.
- No need to store plastic bags that you have no use for! It’s pretty nice not to have to deal with the avalanche of bags each time you open “that” cupboard.
- No more plastic bags for the cat to get her head stuck in and no more of the panic that ensues! (Of course you can always request the odd paper bag for the cat.)
