That’s one view point. It sounds like your grocery bags are overkill, but you can afford nice things and that’s great.

Everything is a tool for me. I prefer to get as cheap as i can while still accomplishing the task with a significantly low failure rate. And if it’s visible all the time then aesthetics come into play. Such as furniture.

Funny you mention overkill. I bought the totes after intending to buy a bunch of bags from a brand called saddleback. I wanted leather. But when I saw the leather bags in real life, they looked too fancy and adorned. So I gave them to my mom to use as log carriers.

Years ago, I saw some incredible full grain shopping bags that looked a lot like regular paper grocery bags. I wish I would have scooped them up.
