Hi Connie, How much were these bags? Would I need a duffle bag to even take them all into the stores when we go shopping :o) And would they even let me in the stores with all those bags? We go shopping only once, or twice if we HAVE to, a month. I would venture to say that we bring in about 20 to 30 bags of stuff sometimes. I usually use the bags to pick up after Lexus. I can only go shopping once or twice a month, because of this thing I have. Are these bags washable, because I would have to wash them every time I used them, due to the smells from some of the items we get, that stink from the chemicals they use in the processing of the packaging. These things I must repackage as soon as I get them into the house. Thanks! Hugs! Lynn Connie wrote: > We always take our cotton bags with handles.? I bought them a long time > ago from a catalogue.
