Get Some Cool Reusable Grocery Bags Online

In my opinion, the reusable grocery bags that many supermarkets sell for around a dollar could be improved upon.

What if you want to use one set of grocery bags for all the stores you go to and not be advertising for another store if you shop at multiple locations?

You can buy some reusable grocery bags where YOU pick the color and design. My favorite are the Baggu Bags.

Three Reasons Plastic Bags are Bad!

1. Plastic bags can take A LONG TIME to break down.
2. Creating plastic bags causes pollution.
3. Plastic bags can hurt animals.

Baggu Bags 

"baggu" means bag in Japanese.

Baggu Bags are my favorite type of reusable grocery bags. They look great and will fold into a pouch that you can store in a pocket or purse.

The reusable bags I buy at the grocery store can never seem to get that small. They come in a wide variety of colors!

You get a six pack of Baggu Bags. They are worth the price if you want a strong, stylish reusable shopping bag. You can pick different colors than the one shown.

They work for so much more than groceries--anytime you need a bag, these are very handy!

Yes! I'm all for reusable grocery bags.

kjcandles says:

Yes!

Suko says:

No. The are a GREAT idea!

TheGreenerMe says:

Reusable bags are definitely a good idea. And there's the benefit of that small discount you get at the store (not much, but it will eventually pay off the amount of the reusable bag). Disposable plastic bags use oil during production, not to mention don't biodegrade. I'm definitely for reusable bags.

Tammyrf says:

Absolutely! Not only a a good idea, but neccesary for the environment.

Yes, I'm good with Baggu bags!

No - I heart plastic or paper bags.

 

Flip & Tumble Reusable Shopping Bags 

I really love the look of the Flip and Tumble reusable shopping bags. These would be great for grocery or other shopping.

Like the Baggu bags, they can be compacted down to a smaller size when not in use.

These reusable bags are very cute! And I love this color.
The other colors might work better for you though.

These bags are great because you can easily clip them (when compacted down) to your belt loop or purse when taking them with you.

I don't think these look as stylish as the Baggu Bags or Flip & Tumble bags but many people swear by them.

You can choose a different color if you don't like dark purple.

The Expensive Choice 

These designer bags are supposed to hold about 3 times as much as regular plastic bags. They say they will plant a tree with every order.

I don't know if they're worth it or not because I'm not going to spend the money to find out.
