What type of OOT bag?

What are you using for your bags?

I know what I want to put in the OOT bags, but I'm not sure what kind of bag to use.  I don't want to purchase anything too pricey (like totes). 

I saw an idea to use paper sack lunch bags and put them through the printer, but those will not be big enough.

What is your plan?  Any suggestions would be a big help. Thanks!

    I used the reusable shopping bags from Kroger.  They cost $1, but sometimes go on sale for $.50 or $.80.  I've had several of my guests tell me that they use them for their groceries.  Although they were more expensive than paper bags, I liked that the guests had something they could use afterwards.

    Depending on how much you plan to spend per bag, this may or may not work for you. But I went to Hobby Lobby and got cute spring colored pails. Each one was about $3-$4. I got the idea from a friend who did Bud Light beer tins for hers and everyone raved about them. Super cute and something your guests could use again in the future. I don't have a pic with me now since I'm at work, but I will try to remember to post one tonight from home.

    Good luck!

    I used brown paper gift bags from Michael's.  They have ones that come with several in a pack for around $6, and then they have a size larger than that that sell for $1 each.  I used the $1 each ones.  They fit with out rustic/autumn theme, plus I got them cheap since Michael's always has coupons!

    Fiancee's uncle just did a mission trip, and had delivery bags left over. The bags are our shade of blue, and gift bag type bags. We are putting our pics on it and using those! :)

    We used gable boxes. They held everything perfect and were clean lined and not sloppy.  Also very affordable!  We got ours from here..

    i would say solid colored gift bags from walmart, or I'm sure you could find cheap options online as well. Also, I have been place where they used cellophane to just wrap everything up like a sac and tied it with ribbon. If you go to meijer, they have Cincy reds (which we bought) and UK tote bags for .99 cents. I like the idea of the reusable bag! also, don't forget oriental trading may have something!

    just glanced at oriental trading, looks like they have bags for about .50 cents a piece, not sure what style and color you are looking for though.
