They aren't great to carry, but the old style paper bags are sure easier to pack. I made reusable bags shaped like the paper ones out of birdseed bags. I used purchased nylon strapping to sew handles on them. I really dislike the plastic bags and try to not bring them home. The store I shop at the most uses super cheap plastic bags, and almost always double them up, which defeats the purpose of the cheap bags.
Back in the old days, 8 of those paper bags fit perfectly in the space behind the back bench in my beloved 1985 Astro Van. And they make the best book covers.
