I'm at a point where I will literally turn around and drive home to get our "nice bags" if I forget them because, by comparison, the plastic bags are horrid in terms of strength and convenience.

i tried but constantly forgot and just got sick of it and gave up. and like L-Pink said, unless your reusable bags are washable, they're going to get might nasty especially when you buy meats and such. stick your head in and take a good whiff of your reusable bag next time you're out shopping, they don't smell good usually.
