Shrinkflation Comes to The Mercadona Reusable Shopping Bag.

What is The Most Spanish Souvenir You Can Buy in Spain?  Is it a bull sculpture? Is it a box of marizipan from Toledo? A bottle of Don Sinon sangría? No, it is the resuseable green shopping bag from Mercadona! You will find these bags all over Spain. I personally counted over seven bags at the Madrid airport in the US departures area. They are just the perfect size for carrying your groceries, wet laundry  to/from the laundromat, towels and sunscreen at the beach, your child's menagerie of stuffed animals, all that crap you want to bring on the airplane but don't have a suitable bag for. The straps are comfortable to sling over your shoulder. If you don't have a rolling granny shopping cart, the Mercadona reusable shopping bag is the best for toting things home from the store. HOWEVER, the last time I bought a Mercadona reusable shopping bag, I discoverd that the bags have SHRUNK. I proudly brought home my 2024 Mercadona bag and compared it to my 2022 Mercadona shopping bag
