The easiest shopping bag in the world is made from an old tank top.  Sew the bottom shut.  Done.

There's a badge bit for sewing these yourself: https://permies.com/wiki/128025/pep-textiles/Sew-grocery-bags-PEP-BB

I upcycled some cotton drapery fabric one friend gave me, and a stained sweat shirt a different friend gave me, and Hubby prefers these over any other bags we have. He's been bugging me to make more and Christmas is coming!

I'm sure our fashion people can guess the era the fabric came from - gaudy but so comfortable to carry, and they aren't easy to loose, either!
