When you reuse them and everything falls out the bottom or they rip down the side. You wounder how you got your stuff home. I went to doller general the other day and the clerk was puting a small bag of cat food in a bag and the bag tore down the side and he had to put it in 2 bags. I try to take 2 reuseable bags but sometimes I forget. Who ever invented the plastic chopping must be a million air now, but he should of done a better job.

I bought spaghetti sauce in the jars. When I went to take them out of the car, the bottom fell out of the plastic bag and I had spaghetti sauce all over the garage. I was livid - lol. I called the store and they gave me new sauce along with a plant from the floral department with an apology.
There are many thicknesses of these plastic bags and stores seem to be going thinner and thinner with them.
I also use reusable shopping bags when possible. Some of our stores still give us a nickle each off our bill when we use our own bags. I always thought that was a nice gesture.

The bottom of the crappy grocery bag ripped open & out the bottle dropped. Sticky pancake/waffle syrup all over the garage floor. I was ticked but that wasn't the worst of it. I didn't get around to cleaning it up right away & when I did go back out to clean it up, a poor little sparrow was sitting stuck in it. :( I got put some warm water & Dawn dish soap in a dish & grabbed a bunch of paper towels & washed & dried off the little bird as best I could & set it back outside. It was no where around an hour later so I hope it was ok & just flew off. Adding to my guilt was my son's comment at the time, "That's what you get for not cleaning it up sooner". :-P LOL
And yes, the little bird pecked the heck out of my hands while I was cleaning it off. LOL

They are more awful than the tan ones AND it looks like you have been shopping at Dollar General ... LOL!
Also it seems like all the Dollar Tree bags smell funky, no matter which Dollar Tree you shop at here in town - (we have at least 7 of them).

The nicest place to be is in someone's
thoughts..the safest place to be is in
someone's prayers and the very best place
to be is..in the hands of God...
