Real men tell the teenaged bag boy to use plastic, and double them up. Then throw them away (not recycle) after one use.
I knew a Kiwi over here – he was a Scot but had emigrated to New Zealand as a boy, so sometimes he would refer to himself as a Scot and sometimes as a Kiwi – who carried this big purse thingy with him that he had all his stuff crammed inside. He referred to it as his “man sack,” and even he could not keep from laughing after saying it.
Should he scrap paper for the ever-popular tote
This appeared in our Sunday February 20th nespaper. Talk about a crazy coincidence!
To be fair, the Earth Day bags from Wegmans are fairly girly, with soft pastel colors and illustrations of flowers.
And of course the sporran is hung in front to imply that so is the Scotsman. 
We don’t have bags in Texas. Only sacks.
I ask for paper sacks because they can be reused/recycled. I KNOW they don’t really recycle the plastic ones.
We had “bags” in West Texas. Sacks, too; maybe those were used by East Texas transplants.
Step One: make a friend in the UK.
Step Two: persuade that friend to send you some UK only swag, perhaps by sending him some swag not available in the UK.
Step Three: gently point out to said friend that he can buy canvas bags from the guy who wrote the song “Canvas Bags”, and you could sing the song while taking those bags to the shops, if only those bags were available in the US.
The bags in question come in manly black, and have the title of one of his other songs on it, the very manly “I am so f**king rock” (Asterisks present on the bags).
I don’t understand why you use your own bags when they give you all the bags you need right there in the checkout line.
A lot of places are starting to discourage using disposable bags.
Reported.
My store really does send the bags in the recycle bin to a recycler. So, we recycle, but maybe the recycler is sending the plastic bags to the landfill…?
We also really do recycle cardboard. In fact, we get money for the bales of cardboard so it’s in our best interests to do that for real, as otherwise we would have to pay money to get all that hauled away.
Either way - my store hasn’t reached Texas (yet).
As for the OP - seriously?
I mean sure, I see some “girly” grocery bags with puppies and kittens and flowers and butterflies, but most of the reusable totes are either a plain, solid color or a solid color with a company logo, or for the ones you buy at grocery stores maybe pictures of fruits and/or vegetables. Regardless, grocery bags don’t have a gender, they’re manufactured, not bred in the backroom of the store. If you really feel a need for a manly man’s bag get ones with hardware store or vehicle company logos on them.
This eight-year-old thread is now looking for Grocery Bag for Zombie…
Zombies gotta eat, too - what, do you expect them to go out and kill their own food? Do you know how hard it is to stagger/shamble that fast?

This thread was bumped not by Broomstick, but by a spammer, who has since been recycled.
- Put the bag over your head.
- Nobody will be thinking about the bag’s gender implications.
- Zombie profit.
I found a pair of parachute pants at a Goodwill for 99 cents. I wear them when I go shopping, everything fits inside the pants so I don’t need any bags. One warning, keep the frozen stuff down low. I once accidentally put some frozen stuff near the boys, by the time I got home everything had shrunk a bunch.
You are excessively legitimate to cease this practice.
Go to the Isle of Man to buy some grocery bags. Hire a zombie to carry them.
