These bags are strong, with comfortable handles and hold a lot of groceries!
Some stores - mostly the supermarkets - do sell their own re-usable bags. Mostly, though, they're not the kind convenient to carry around "just in case". That's the problem.
We've got a culture here of expecting bags to be supplied when we shop, and most stores hand them out whether you need a bag or not. It's terribly wasteful, but what's needed is a major culture change. Like when we all quit using paper bags to save the forests (which is, of course, why we started using plastic in the first place!)
