How about those reusable, washable, eco-friendly cloth bags?

Just remember to wash them thoroughly before putting your groceries in them.

Very good point! The groceries that are put in them are not sterile. They have been handled by dirty hands that are checking lables and comparing prices. I can imagine someone walking into a supermarket with unwashed hands that just pumped out someones septic tank. All these groceries that go into these cloth bags leave a residue which will be picked up on you next batch of groceries. If these bags don't get washed, they can turn them into a petri dish of disease which will soon wind up in your cupboards.
