Shopping bag

Shopping bags are medium-sized bags, typically around 10–20 litres (2.5–5 gallons) in volume (though much larger versions exist, especially for non-grocery shopping), that are used by shoppers to carry home their purchases.

Some are intended as single-use disposable products, though people may reuse them for storage or as bin liners, etc.

; others are designed as reusable shopping bags.
