Pretty much every store has them for sale by the check outs, but why not make your own? They are usually a snap to whip up in less than 30 minutes. Plus, you'll get to choose your favorite print. They can be made from table cloths, pillowcases or sheets, or even your favorite (but too worn out to wear) t-shirt.
Check out these tutorials for how to make your own:
Marth Stewart has a video tutorial to make the most ridiculously easy, no-sew shopping bag.
Crafty Ady has a very detailed (with plenty of photos!) tutorial on how to sew a foldable shopping bag.
If you crochet, try this one from Cassie Marie Edwards.
And for the knitters out there, why not knit this bag from Demonic Progress
No matter how you sew it, knit it, crochet it, or cut it, you're on your way to plastic-free shopping!
