I used the reusable shopping bag in slidell louisiana when I lived there. This cut down on a lot of back ache since you do not buy as much and try to carry the weight as the plastic bags make you carry them and they break usually with too much weight or groceries .so try the reusable bags they are really great. walmart even sells them that are insulated fro hot or cold food for 2.00 and that is a bargain.
