Handled ones are sold for $0.40 / bag (offhand, I purchased like 10 of them when this insanity started), and I've thus far reused most of the bags in the set 4x, one 5x, and one had a handle failure early in life. I'm convinced that paper, even used once and tossed into a landfill, is better for the environment, and that the effort involved in reusing the bags is not worth creating a more durable bag that can't instead be reused as packing paper, a bin liner, or some other task before it joins the long term molecular reprocessing cycle. If the waste stream company didn't charge extra for a kitchen scraps bin (which is co-mingled with yard waste, that I refuse to create) I'd gladly properly dispose of used bags in that container instead, along with food scraps.
