Plastic grocery store bags with handles were a Godsend. But now we'll
have to wash the blood out of
our grocery bags so we can reuse them. Hey, maybe this is meant to
encourage vegetarianism, or discourage cooking dinner from scratch.

You can get thick plastic reusable bags. Much easier to wash and dry than
the cloth. And they hold up better.
