They don't cost the Earth

I can't believe after all the campaigning that I still get asked if I want a plastic bag even though it's completely obvious that I have an eco-friendly shopping bag hanging over my shoulder. Hoover and Fussy both know that plastic bags are taboo, so if they are out shopping with me and I get asked for plastic they both bellow back in unison - 'say NO to plastic'! Yes there are times when I find their loud antics amusing.
I recently picked up a couple of eco-friendly E String Bags and have been quite impressed with how sturdy these bags are as they can hold up to 14kg. They are also reasonably priced and come in a wide range of bright colours, so coordinating your string bag with your outfit is not going to be a problem.
When not in use the string bags can fit easily into a pocket, handbag or the glove box of your car. The other added bonus is that E string Bags is an Australian owned, family run company and they supply their eco-friendly bags anywhere in the world. These bags don't cost the earth and at just $3.35 AUD, $2.48 USD and £1.79 GBP you can afford to grab one in every colour.

I am always amazed they ask me as well. Just yesterday, the bagger actually complained that she didn't like my bags?! They are canvas bags from Eddie Bauer-they are fantastic for heavy items like cans. I also have a couple of bags similar to yours, I love them and use them for many other needs like recycling and as a beach bag.
Plastic bags are so over, But sometimes I get some dirt looks from the cashier, what's wrong with them? They live under a rock or something? By the way...I really like your site, I was sent a meme and now I'm passing it on, hope you don't mind.
