IKEA is giving away its iconic blue shopping bags today (Thursday, May 24, 2012) in various locations around the U.S., as part of an upcoming summer promotion. The bags are not being given away at the stores, so check your location.
The mammoth home store chain says it will give away 35,000 bags nationwide. Here in OC, they’re giving them away at the Huntington Beach pier.
I actually have one of these bags. No, I didn’t steal it, but I bought it at a thrift shop, and I’ll tell you they come in handy.
Made out of the kind of heavy-duty plastic you usually see on tarps, you could carry a small buffalo in one and it probably could only be dented by a nuclear missile.
If you want a bag, I’d stop by if you really want one badly since I don’t know if they’ll run out.
