We have about 30 re-usable bags in our house. We do our best to re-use them as frequently as possible. I don't know if we've achieved the goal of re-using each one 10 to 20 times though.

Yeah, I thought you have to use those reusable boxes from Safeway/Home Depot literally several thousand times to make it worthwhile. They are our go to thing to use for groceries and Costco, certainly handy.
But no way that they'll last for that many uses. But hey, if that's what the crusaders want . . .
