no, more like three or four of the little flimsy ones per trip.
Even with the sealed trays you can get leakage. Even with butcher
paper and string you can get leakage. I don't put vegetables
straight into the bags either.

The things I like about the cloth grocery bags is that they are square
and have a piece of rigid plastic in the bottom that keeps them square
and upright. The hold way more than a regular plastic grocery bag,
don't puncture and have handles that make them easy to carry.

I can get into two cloth bags which would have taken four or five
plastic bags to hold. The produce bags are
the more biodegradable ones and are actually reusable if you want to
reuse them as well.

The cloth bags fold up nicely and nest inside one cloth bag and I keep
them in the trunk of my car so I have
them at hand.
