Bye bye bags
October 1st, 2008
I should have bought one as a collectors item last weekend, but IKEA no longer offers the clear 5cent plastic (one use) bags in any of it’s stores worldwide starting today. Europe hasn’t had them for a while, but our time as come as well.
You can still get the iconic and enviable “big blue” mega bag with the cloth handles for just 59cents, which is great for so many things. I use them for everything from grocery shopping, weekend trip packing to storing sleeping bags! (No really it holds two of them, three if you roll them tight!)

I Love those big Ikea Bags! I use them in stead of laundry baskets. You can fit a large load in each and every bag!
My 75 year old grandmother has never set foot in an IKEA before. When I visited her over the summer she fell in love with my blue bags, so I gave her 2 of them. The bag is sturdy enough to hold items yet the cloth handles don’t cut into her hand or flare up her arthritis when she carries it.
Now she wants to go shopping with me . . . thank heavens IKEA also has wheelchairs because there is no way she could stand & walk with me for hours, bless her heart!
Those little blue hand carts (if you can find one) are also wonderful . . . it’s a hit at 20 bucks but very worth it. I plan on decorating mine with rhinestones!
canada still has them. atleast the store in richmond.
want me to send you some?
