Speak for yourself.

I've had the same four bags for ten years. Spent a fair bit but got the ones that are built to last.

Well, don't leave us hanging! Which bags lasted 10 years? Where do we get them? I'm having a hard time because the only really good bags I have require a minimum purchase of 50 (these: https://enviro-tote.com/product/medium-grocery-tote-bag/).

Not 10 years yet but I've done well for about 3 with some simple canvas totes from Amazon

Good call.

Baggu makes really good nylon bags that fold very small. Only downside is the lack of structure, but you get used to packing them in a couple shopping trips. Ours have lasted over 10 years.

Here are the ones I bought and they're fantastic. Aim for something similar.
