They have smaller versions of their way-too-big iconic 'Frakta' blue bags. Polypropylene, with a minimum of 60% recycled content. Cost under a dollar each, and these are very sturdy, and easily washable. We've been using these for several years, and plan on picking up a few more the next time we're there.

Here's the one we use, from their website:
