Free Giveaway - Hotsack reusable totes

I love the reusable bags that most stores have available now. I don't love having to pay for them - even if they are $1 or less. So when I find deals to get the bags for free, I partake of the opportunity.

Right now http://jane4girls800dollarannualbudget.blogspot.com/ is having a giveaway on her blog for 5 of these reusable bags from Hotsacks with matching Meshy Hotsacks.

If you have never tried the reusable totes, please do so!
Here are some of my top reasons why I love them:
1 - They are much roomier than standard plastic bags
2 - They decrease the amount of plastic we use
3 - Because they are roomier, you need less of them to carry your groceries
4 - They are very strong, I did have one handle break on one bag but the store replaced it for free
5 - They follow the three Rs - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
6 - They fold nicely and will fit inside each other.
7 - Some stores will give you a discount on your groceries if you use them instead of paper/plastic
8 - They will hold a lot!!! -> 6 half gallons of milk, or 36 cans of Campbell's soup, or 6 bags of potato chips, or 50 packs of Knorr pasta sides, or 20 boxes of cake mix, or 12 boxes of instant oatmeal, or LOTS of bags of after Christmas clearance chocolate and candy!

So many more reasons why I love them, but I want to hear from you!
