answer:Hmm…besides the over the shoulder strap, we got this new thing here about using reusable grocery bags, due to environmental reasons. They cost like 89 cents and are sold at the grocery stores. They’re tough, classy and carry lots. Otherwise, you pay five cents for a plastic bag. It’s very encouraged to get the new ones. They’re pretty cool though, and besides the strap, they’re everything you’re looking for. I suppose that must not go down where you live then…I’d recommend hemp bags, thing is, most are usually not big enough for any badass grocery lugging. I know this doesn’t really help, but I think you should ask your grocery place if they have a program like that, or might be planning one soon?
