I just keep some reusable shopping bags in the car and in my backpack. Having an extra bag can often be useful outside just shopping trips. They're far nicer than the disposable plastic bags. They can carry more weight, don't tear from sharper edges of some packages, and look nicer. Some of the bags I have in my car even have a metal wire rim around the top to help hold the bag open so soft items don't get squished when I carry the bag and its really full.
Kind of like this, but smaller:

And arguing reusable bags aren't as big as disposable plastic bags or can't carry as much is laughable. Bags can come in any shape or size. I assure you there are lots of reusable bags far larger than the typical disposable plastic shopping bags. A typical disposable plastic bag is like 22" H x 12" W x 6" D fully expanded (including handles in that 22", so really less for storage, more like maybe 16" if even that). Losing the handles you're talking ~1,150 cubic inches. The bag linked above is 13" H x 22" W x 11" D not including the handles. That's ~3,140 cubic inches. Which is a bigger number?
The vast majority of reusable shopping bags I've encountered and owned are much larger than standard disposable plastic shopping bags. Incredible seeing someone argue they just don't make bags bigger than average disposable shopping bags...
