Reusable and disposable grocery bags

Abstract

Embodiments described herein are related to a reusable grocery bag with a set of disposable liners coupled to an inner surface of the reusable grocery bag. Embodiments disclosed herein utilize disposable liners to reduce, limit or eliminate the spread of bacteria and germs while a consumer is shopping for various items. In embodiments, the disposable liner may be comprised of biodegradable materials.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A system comprising:
 a reusable grocery bag comprised of a first material, wherein the reusable grocery bag is symmetrical;   a set of disposable liners coupled to a first sidewall of the reusable grocery bag, the set of disposable liners being comprised of a second material;   first coupling members configured to couple a first of the set of disposable liners to the first sidewall of the reusable grocery bag;   second coupling members configured to couple the first of the set of disposable liners to a second sidewall of the reusable grocery bag, wherein when the first of the set of disposable liners is coupled to the first sidewall and the second sidewall the first of the set of disposable liners covers the set of disposable liners.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the first material is different than the second material. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein when the first of the set of disposable liners is coupled to the first sidewall and the second sidewall, the first of the set of the disposable liners extends from an upper surface of the reusable grocery bag to a lower surface of the reusable grocery bag. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 liner coupling mechanisms configured to couple the set of disposable liners to the first sidewall of the reusable grocery bag.   
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein when the first of the set of disposable liners is coupled to the first sidewall and the second sidewall the first of the set of disposable liners is configured to cover an entire top opening of the reusable grocery bag. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the first of the set of disposable liners is configured to be decoupled from the set of disposable liners via perforations. 
     
     
         7 . A system comprising:
 a reusable grocery bag comprised of a first material, wherein the reusable grocery bag is symmetrical;   a set of disposable liners coupled to a first sidewall of the reusable grocery bag, the set of disposable liners being comprised of a second material and including a first of the set of disposable liners;   first coupling members configured to couple the set of disposable liners to the first sidewall of the reusable grocery bag;   second coupling members configured to couple the first of the set of disposable liners to a second sidewall of the reusable grocery bag, wherein when the set of disposable liners is coupled to the first sidewall and the first of the set of disposable liners is coupled with the second sidewall the first of the set of disposable liners is coupled to the set of disposable liners.   
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 7 , wherein the first material is different than the second material. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 7 , wherein when the first of the set of disposable liners is coupled to the first sidewall and the second sidewall, the first of the set of the disposable liners extends from an upper surface of the reusable grocery bag to a lower surface of the reusable grocery bag. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 7 , wherein the first of the set of disposable liners is configured to be decoupled from the set of disposable liners via perforations. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 7 , wherein the first of the set of disposable liners is configured to cover an inner portion of the reusable grocery bag without decoupling the first of the set of disposable liners from the set of disposable liners. 
     
     
         12 . A system comprising:
 a reusable grocery bag comprised of a first material, wherein the reusable grocery bag is symmetrical;   a set of disposable liners coupled to a first sidewall of the reusable grocery bag, the set of disposable liners being comprised of a second material, and the set of disposable liners including a first of the set of disposable liners and a second set of the set of disposable liners;   first coupling members configured to couple the set of disposable liners to the first sidewall of the reusable grocery bag;   second coupling members configured to couple the first of the set of disposable liners to a second sidewall of the reusable grocery bag, wherein when the second of the set of disposable liners is coupled to the first sidewall and the first of the set of disposable liners is coupled with the second sidewall then the first of the set of disposable liners covers a first inner portion of the reusable grocery bag while the second of the set of disposable liners simultaneously covers a second inner portion of the reusable grocery bag.
