I just placed an order today for my reusable grocery bags. I’ve been wanting them for a while but hadn’t found any that I liked. I really wanted something about the same shape and size as the brown paper ones at Whole Foods, just re-usable. And I wanted something with a feminine flair that was hip and stylish. I found them here. The selection is what I’d call fantastic, so much so that I had to make some choices and not order four since I have no need for that many. I ended up ordering Candy and Mallory (I’ve got a thing for monkeys, and I really like ugly fish and this pattern combines the two). There were several runners up though, and while I hope that these bags hold up and I get my money’s worth, I also secretly hope that they need replacing so that I have an excuse to buy my other favs. Such is life. Must… exercise… self… control….

I thought about getting a couple, but I was in too much of a hurry to look closely. The stores out here credit you $0.03 for each bag that you provide. It isn’t much, but it is something in the long run.

August 19, 2007 at 10:15 pmI am glad that you are spreading the word that you can be eco-friendly and styling at the same time! It’s a small step we can all make to reduce our share in the waste stream. I was on a mad search about a year ago for a nice looking bag and couldn’t find one, so now I design them and sell them online. They are really cute and unlike a lot of the others mass produced by the big chains, mine are 100% made in the USA. Glad you are doing your bit for the environment– I only wished you’d ordered them from me! Check them out at http://www.minusbags.com
