So, I should drive 60+ miles to Savannah, Georgia to find a Home Depot?
Why? So I can buy an orange shopping bag or two? I think not. LOL While I
admire the idea of grocery store tote-bags, it doesn't fit with in my
reality. Ineed, I need more than a couple of canvas tote bags to carry the
groceries.
