Which tote bag would you buy?

I'm all for durability and longevity. Being somewhat new to the 'carry your own bag movement", I purchased one of the bags offered at the supermarket only to have it fall apart after just a few uses. I think that if you are going to pay for a reusable bag - whether you pay $5 or $40 - it should last a LONG time. Otherwise, you are just adding to the trash.

It's been at least a year since I have used a paper or plastic bag at the grocery store thanks to my reusable shopping totes. It's an investment to think about. I have 3 shopping totes that I paid about $20 each for, but I bought durable ones and they have lasted thus far. $60 is a lot of money to pay for a plastic bag solution. I was totally willing to pay it, but I don't think I would have shelled out any more money for my 3 bags.

Savior Bags are made from cotton that is milled and finished in America. While the cotton used to produce the fabric we use for our bags may be grown in America, we cannot in good conscience make this claim. American mills will not state unequivocally that its fabrics are made of 100% U.S. grown cotton because shipments are received from a number of sources and combined once it reaches the mill. Investing in a quality bag that will provide years of trips to the market is a priority for a growing number of people. However, the sad fact is that the majority of shoppers in this country are not ready to spend more than a couple of dollars on a cheap petroleum-based bag that after a few uses will end up in the trash. Yes, there are those who will spend $40+ on a reusable bag but for most Americans, the threshold is much, much lower.
