Naturally Frugal Tip: 4 Ways to Make Reuseable Grocery Bags

I bought my first reusable grocery bags in in 1992 in a Navy Exchange at NAS Pt. Mugu. They are made of sturdy canvas and are still going strong 21 years later. The down side: I only bought 2! And I need more than that for our grocery purchases. Over the years, I have bought more, but they just aren't as sturdy and usually only last a few years before they give out. So instead of paying for more bags that will wear out, I have started making my own using items I have on hand. Below are 4 easy and frugal methods for making  reusable grocery bags, as well as 4 easy ways to make your own reusable produce bags.
