How many reusable bags do you have?

ArcticFox

Oh boy.  We have a LOT!!  I was picking on DH the other day, I told him he has a problem!

We have prob 4 insulated/freezer totes, and then a lot of other regular totes.  I want to say at least 20?  We keep a lot in our cars, and then even around the house.  They get used a lot for kid's stuff (like toys or a temporary diaper bag), trips to the library, and so on.  They do all seem to get used at some point, since we cycle through them, but we do have too many.  I think part of it is we have gotten a bunch for free (like by donating to WWF or HSUS), or DH tends to buy them when he has forgotten to bring them.

I'm not really sure - maybe 15? I think its better to have more than you need! I use mine for other stuff too, like the library or even lunches sometimes.

Oh geez, like 10-12?  I have a Chico bag attached to my purse, which everything thinks is a mini-umbrella for some reason.  An insulated tote, 3 of the large bags from WF (love these!), like 4-5 flat-bottom ones from different grocery stores, and a couple of actual tote bags that I always get when I donate to a charity.  I instituted the rule (for myself only) that when I forget to bring my reuseable bags, I buy a new one with my fun money.  So I ended up with a lot of bags really quickly.    I'm must better about bringing my bags now though.

I think I have 8. I purchased a set of 6 nice sturdy canvas ones, then we we moved into our home we got a bunch of coupons and stuff for local places, and one was for 2 free bags from a local grocery store. I also have a few paper bags from local stores that I use and reuse, too.

Eek, I just counted 16.  Plus a set of 9 mesh produce bags.  Sometimes it still doesn't feel like enough though!

Oh yeah I have 6 mesh produce bags and 4 fine-mesh bags for like bulk rice and whatnot.  I do run out of those frequently.

Around 15.  We use them for groceries, books, basically everything, all the time, too.

5 - two that stay in the house that we try to remember to take along on our weekly grocery shopping trips.  And then one for each car, in case we get there and forget our bags, or need to hit the store up on our way home from someplace.

I only have 2. But I just bought my first - from CVS - about 3 weeks ago and then my second - from Walgreens - last weekend. I really would like a couple more though.

I do have a ton of random bags I use for various other reasons - like going to the library, taking stuff to people- and sometime I use those when I go to Aldis but they aren't really made for groceries and don't hold a lot.

6...we have the enviro sacks pack...

Probably around 10.

I just counted...we have 12. I keep 2 in the house for things like library books, etc. and then we keep 5 in each car. I also will buy more instead of using a plastic bag. I figure I can always keep them, or lately I've been taking extra produce from my garden to my neighbors in them, and insisting they keep them and use them at the market.

Maybe 15-20ish?  There are so many cute options out there, and I often find myself buying "one more."  And I am getting better about using them, although I do sometimes forget!  I do have one big insulated one that I am going to be debuting when I go to the farmers' market today.  I am excited about that!

6...1 - TJ's insulated bag, 2 - Target nylon ones, 3 other varied bags

I gave one TJ insulated bags to my MIL so I need to get another one and I got rid of a few so I need to get some more.

Mrs Manners

Around 8 or so? I've got one envirosax, one llbean sturdy canvas one, another canvas one I dedicate only for meats and wash after each trip and then about 5 of the store brand variety from different stores. Oh...I also have one HUGE one that someone gave me that came from Aldi. I absolutely hate it because by the time they load it full of stuff (and they always try to jam all the heavy stuff in this one) it must weigh at least 50 lbs.

2 big Costco bags that were "hand me downs", 1 TJs bag, 1 Half Priced Books bag that was a gift with purchase on Earth Day, and two cotton bags that were a gift to me.

Hmmm.... doesn't having a ton of random reusable bags that you don't always use kind of defeat the point of trying to be "green"? It seems counterproductive to have a crap load of "cute" bags when you really don't need that many. The first rule is Reduce right?

10ish? i have one that i always keep in my purse so i always have it when i need it. one is in dh's truck and the rest stay in my trunk. i do use most of them whenever i do a big run at the grocery store.
