Paper or Plastic

For years, I have suffered through the hard decision of paper or plastic. OK, maybe not YEARS, but I have been grocery shopping on my own for a few...BUT back to the point. For years, I have decided based on the environment, my comfort level and whether I would be charged an extra few pennies for one! And the truth is, I never really wanted either! Plastic bags are light, comfortable to carry and easy to store. Paper bags are sturdy and better for the environment. BUT what if I want to carry my frozen pizza and Cherry Coke home in a leopard shopper with red patent leather handles? Where's that option?!
