Every now and then I decide to run by Monoprix on my way home to pick up a few things. Since they no longer give out bags for carrying your purchases (no paper, no plastic) you either bring your own bags or buy them there. If I'm coming from work, I don't usually have a bag with me, so I limit what I buy to what I can carry in my hands. But today I decided to splurge.
I plopped down 90 centimes (about $1.20) and bought a bag to accomodate today's groceries. But this wasn't just any bag. No, no. This bag has Magic Powers. Well, maybe not 'magic' but it definitely has something special:
Plastic handle grips.
That means I can fill it up with all kinds of heavy stuff (flour, UHT milk in a box, sweet potatoes, kidney bean dumbbells...) and survive the walk home without ripping the skin off my hands.
Magic powers are in the bag.

Hee hee Kari. I love how you can write about just about anything and still make it funny and interesting! :P
It's the simple things in life that are the most wonderful and a durable, good-lookin', practical bag is one of those things!
Coming to you from Sarah Smith's site in North Carolina.

we got some like this when we lived in the netherlands, but that was before we realized that when they were full of heavy stuff, it was impossible to steer our bikes (no one walked there, bikes only, I'm pretty sure they grow out of dutch people's butts, they're so attched to them). so we rarely used them. backpacks were the way to go for us.
reusable bags are becoming the trend here in the US too, and I am fully on board! :)
We've got a few fabric bags with fabric handles for grocery shopping too, and they are easier on the hands, but I really like them because I can carry them over my shoulders! Nice purchase :)
Congrats on saying Monoprix without also saying "think small Target..."
Yes, but does it have a hard plastic bottom, so that your stuff doesn't get squished??
I have a Carrefour bag that has handles & a bottom...ah, the little things in life:)
