Ikea Tote Bag
Ikea sells these near the cash register. They are large -- about 4 feet by 2 by 2, with two clever lengthened (short & long) handles, made of some nearly indestructible nylon-plasticy mesh fabric in Ikea blue. For a buck, they're amazing. We put a mess at home, in the car, garden, garage. Great for dragging stuff from Sam's Club, or dirt in the garden, hauling firewood or just whenever you've a lot of loose stuff to move.

We use 'em. Lightweight, generously oversized, foldable, durable, and only 99 cents. What's not to like?

All my groceries fit at the grocery store, and I get them in the house in one trip! I love this dang thing.

One of these lives in my car trunk. I (accidentally) (really!) bought a 1971 MGB last Friday, and the previous owner had a cupboard full of bits'n'pieces he'd accumulated over the last 8 years but never actually installed. My Ikea blue bag ended up holding part of a carpet kit, replacement windshield washer arms, replacement taillights, hubcap centres, a centre console, a power amp for the stereo, and assorted fasteners, along with things I haven't identified yet. The empty bag took up less room in my trunk than a can of instant tire, held more stuff than I could throw at it, and had no problem hauling 20+ lbs of kack. For a buck these things should just live everywhere for emergencies.
