And what's more, the bags for life will cost you 10p a go so it's vital that you know which ones are worth the money.

We've put bags for life from Sainsburys, Tesco, Aldi and Co-op to the test to see which was strongest - after all they are called bags for life.

The bags were loaded up with weights and lifted up to see which could handle the heaviest loads.

Okay, so they might not be designed to carry heavy weights, but they are supposed to be used over and over again, so it is worth knowing which supermarkets make the strongest and most reliable bags.

Co-op bag for life - 15kg

The Co-op bag for life was the weakest of the lot as it could only handle 15kg before the bag broke.

This bag costs the standard rate of 10p and can hold the weight of an average three year old.

It was also the only bag to break below the handles.

As this bag costs the same as two of the other bags in this test this may not be the best value for money.
