The Best Reusable Grocery Bags

Plastic bags are so over. Not only are they just plain ugly, but they are evil. They can be reused maybe once, recycled rarely, biodegrade - pretty much never.

Reusable grocery bags are in and here to stay. Many are bigger, stronger, and hipper than your average plastic bag.

Of course you can get the store branded fuzzy reusable bags, but for those who like a little flare in their grocery trips, there are so many stylish and convenient other reusable grocery bag options.

Here are the ones I’ve used so far. I’ve looked at many of the grocery bag options out there. So many of them are just branded canvas bags, but a few companies have taken it to a new great level.

I purchased the 5 pack of the Monochromatic Series. At $35 I felt they were pretty spendy for grocery bags. However I get compliments on them all the time and they are very large and sturdy. If you don’t mind the task of rolling them back up, it is nice that all 5 fit in the convenient little pouch. These are my favorite because they are so pretty and hold so much. I’ll probably order more because the snap came off of one and I lost one.

This bag is ingenious. I only have one because I bought one for my MIL that I keep forgetting to give her. It is super easy to tote around in your purse and even easier to fold back up when you are done with it. This bag is a bit smaller than my other bags but still holds quite a bit. The only drawback is that it kind of looks like you are toting around a pair of socks.

Grocery Buddy

No link for this guy, I found him in a little tub at Whole Foods while I waited in line horrified that I had forgotten my bags.  This little guy comes in a little bag with a tiny carabiner key chain. It is attached to the little bag and easily folds back up into itself. This one is on the smaller side but it is good to have just in case.

Other grocery bags I am looking at:

I don’t know about you, but I hate it when cashiers just stick things into little plastics bags with out asking. It would be handy to have these along.

I think this is a good option for walking down to the local store just to grab a gallon of milk and maybe a few other things. A situation that might normally cause you drive can be turned into an opportunity to burn some calories, save some gas and, save the planet. :)
