Reusable shopping bags come of age

Today, there are so many other bags from which to choose, made from materials both familiar and unusual, at price points both affordable and astronomical.

It appears everyone — from grocery stores to online sellers — wants in on this eco-friendly game. Nonprofits have jumped into the fray, trading sturdy totes for donations.

For the shopper, it's a matter of how much to spend and where.

For many, the sturdy, 99-cent grocery-store totes will do. But maybe you'd like a little more bling in your bag? Then this list is for you.
