Win 4 Reusable Chico Bags!
We love reusable shopping bags, but sometimes, it’s hard to remember to take them into the store. I’ve gotten much better about bringing my bags into the grocery store (I only have to run out to the car about once every two months now from the checkout line), but remembering my bags at other stores is a challenge. I usually walk out with my arms full of merchandise and fill my bags at the car.
I really like ChicoBags for shopping at stores, not just the natural food store. They sling over my shoulder (and my kids’ shoulders) easily and ball up nicely to fit inside my purse. Reusable bags are such a simple step we can all take to reduce our carbon footprint, but why is it so hard to remember to use them?

Using ChicoBag’s reusable tote bags reduces waste because they are long lasting and promote reuse. ChicoBag will even recycle your reusable bags when you are done with them. What makes ChicoBags better than many other reusable grocery bags is the compact pouch that is sewn into the seam on the interior of the tote bag. ChicoBags make it easy to carry a reusable shopping tote at all times. Single-use paper and plastic bags are harmful to the environment and use up 32% of landfill space because they can take hundreds of years to decompose. Americans use between 300 and 700 plastic bags per person each year, on average. 100 billion plastic shopping bags are used annually in the United States.

Well luckily I carry a suitcase for a purse. These bags look like they would fit nicely in one of my side pockets of this messenger bag that I converted into my pocket book. This way I’ll allways have these bags with me. Thanks for a great giveaway!
I try to leave them in my car after I use them or put them in my backpack.
i always make sure to have extras in my trunk thanks for the giveaway
With a new baby, I’m thinking those would fit great in the diaper bag. I go few places without it anymore.
Stays right on my ‘little table’ where I always have my purse, glasses and keys…all my essentials for going out.
THANKS
my wife who is the regular grocery shopper has been trying to get more reusable bags
I don’t have any bags yet but I would keep them in my purse so I don’t forget them.
I leave mine all tucked into one bag by the front door. I also try to leave some in each car just in case we forget to bring them.
I always leave them in my car. Once I’m done unloading my groceries, I put them by my purse so I know to grab them and put them back in the car for the next time.
I keep them in the car most days.
