Flimsy reusable bags emblazoned with store logos can be transformed into durable insulated bags in just a few minutes. All you need is a roll of aluminum repair tape -- it looks like shiny duct tape and it's found at any hardware store -- and a pair of scissors. Cut strips of tape and cover the entire outside of the bag. The tape acts as an insulator and reinforces the bag, making it more durable to carry heavier bags of groceries.
