Every grocery store around here has green shopping bags. They've been
in use for at least 3-4 years now. They are
heavy duty and have a flat bottom with a piece of plastic that lays in
the bottom of the bag to add stability. They last like crazy.
The only thing I didn't like was that the piece of plastic was thin
and cracked easily so I cut some heavier plastic and replaced
them. The bags fold neatly and I keep them all folded up and stacked
inside one bag in the trunk of the car.

If you have a spill you wash off the plastic. And if the bag is
affected, it's washable.

The grocery stores give you 5 cents credit for each bag used. Not a
lot, but it keeps plastic bags out of the landfill.

Here's a picture of the type of bag I'm talking about.
