Stylish reusable shopping bags - Baggu

christieanne

I saw these on a home decor blog. My current reusable bags are a hodgepodge of TJ's and various grocery store models but these are a step up with colors and prints galore. Anyone tried this brand?

Cute! I picked up a reusable bag at Sur la Table. It's by RuMe which folds up and fits inside my purse. It looks very similar to the one you posted. I like my TJ bags which are cotton and washable but they aren't something I would want to keep in my handbag for a spur of the moment trip to the grocery store!

I have an envirosax bag in a similar shape. The envirosax bag is nice because it squishes up very small but I find it kind of flimsy, plus the material and shape of the handles makes it slip off my shoulder. I do use it for little things though like if I'm just picking up a couple of things at the farmers market or something.
For serious shopping, my favorite thing to use are big canvas totes. (Not the ones from the grocery store, but the classic white LL Bean style ones with long straps.) They are strong, washable, and very comfy to carry.

I always forget to bring these so I got a Chico bag that's stuffable. http://www.amazon.com/Reusable.....038;sr=8-1 I can clip it onto my keys or purse with the carabiner. I also like that the one I got has handles long enough to go over the shoulder. Made walking home with my groceries in FL so much easier!

I have a small bag that pushes into a little mini sack that I try ot keep in my purse also. I was just thinking some of my TJ's bags are ripping a bit so need new ones anyway. I will move the TJ's bags to dry cleaner duty until they are totally unusable.
Diana - I will look for some like you describe.

My canvas totes are mostly from various events/freebies, but these LL Bean ones are the best I've ever seen and pretty much indestructible. I like the longer straps.

I got the cutest owl totes from a teen-bopper store for about $2 each on clearance (I bought about 20); they are a strong canvas and can fold up in my purses, various places in my car, and I have given them away in sets as gifts as well (haha; I'm cheap, okay? :p)

Everyone I know I gave them to still has them and uses them frequently!

I love my Baggu’s! I use them for shopping and also keep one in my purse to turn into an extra totebag when I unexpectedly need to carry books, exercise gear, or whatever. I always have one when I travel, to use for a totebag. The straps fit my shoulder well so I can carry it like a totebag.
Pro’s – colorful, indestructible, fold up small, hold LOTS of stuff, washable, very strong.
Con’s – lighter ones can get grungy with heavy use (I’d go for darker colors), they get kind of floppy when you’re loading with stuff or when they’re in the car trunk. Expensive.

I use my Envirosax most of the time because I love how they roll up into my purse. I have the Sesame Street Set for fun (the colors are fantastic)

and a black and white older graphic series. I love that they are washable and I don't end up with a ton of shopping bags in my garage. ALso DH has no idea where I have been shopping...
