So, with the demise of the 15c heavy-duty plastic bags, what's a good replacement?

I've been using them since they were introduced - the best thing about them is that if you carefully fold then roll them, they're amazingly compact, and you can fit like three in your back pocket, which is perfect when you don't have a car and want to grocery shop on your commute.

The cotton and paper ones are just too bulky to carry around with you like this. I've found some thin nylon-type ones, but they're pretty sad and small - has anyone found something that's thin, large and sturdy?

I bought a fabric shopping bag from Ikea a couple of years ago, and have had good use from it.

Until last month, when I used it to make up for the lack of lumbar support on a Jetstar flight and left it behind.

So yesterday we bought some fabric and my wife whipped up new ones.
