I reuse plastic bags for refuse, if they are prohibited, I’ll have to BUY them to put
my waste in, so the problem will be the same, forbidding thin plastic bags is fine and dandy, but it’s only part of the solution, we should also find a non polluting way to pack our refuse .

[...] Reusable grocery bags, yes! Leave a couple in your trunk so you never forget. Plastic bags are a huge source of waste, as you can see from their Christmas-y effect in the trees all around. When you do find yourself strapped with these nasties, reuse, reuse, reuse. [...]

I love cloth grocery bags too. I was so excited when I started making my own, that I gave them to everyone I knew. Then I started my shop on Etsy, selling cloth bags from recycled materials! I love the bags that you featured! Great finds.

well yeah the bags are soo cute and all but can we also use them as just normal bags and not grocery bags because what if there is a spill and the bag gets stained? why can’t we just use it as a normal carry around bag?

After seeing Savior Bags on Jolly Green Girl’s site, I got some of my own (thanks for the heads-up JGG). I love to cook and so shopping for all the ingredients I need to prepare my favorite recipes is part of the experience. Having super cute canvas bags to put my ‘treasures’ in makes it even more special. With the rising cost of food, I always make a list – and stick to it. I read in a study done by the University of Arizona that Americans throw out 25% (or 470 pounds/year)of the produce they buy because it goes bad! My next investment is going to be reusable produce bags. In the meantime, I reuse the plastic produce bags from the grocery store. When I come home from the store, I take my fruits and vegetables out of the plastic bags and immediately put the empty plastic bags into my Savior Bags where they will be ready for reuse next time I go grocery shopping!

I have yet to forget the Olive Smart bags. I just make it a point to fold them up after I’m done and toss the sack back in my diaper bag.

I had a terrible time remembering the other bags and the Olive Smart bags have really been my savior.

I second Envirosax. I carried 15 library books in one bag using the bus 5-6 months pregnant. They are my all time favorite. Savior Bags are becoming my second.

As for remembering to take them to the store, keep them in your car, I admit, we do forget them from time to time but for weekly grocery excursion, I remember to grab them.

Here’s one big vote for EnviroSax. I’ve walked home with about 50lbs of groceries in them. They’re indestructible!
