Whip one of these out next time you're at the grocery. It fits conveniently in your bag and expands to fit about two plastic bags worth of groceries. An added benefit is that it saves the use of plastic bags and the environment.

Love that you can fit more than a few items in the bag and look good doing it. A definite wish list item for die-hard eco-concious breeds or those taking the first steps to becoming green.

Yes, No More Plastic Bags-why i love it? I'm helping nature by using it- instead of plastic bags:)-Say No to landfields of waste materials. (via baggubag.com)

I JUST LOVE THESE BAGS. I actually use them every time I shop. I have never felt cuter (or more smug) leaving the grocery store! www.baggubag.com - get some! (via Baggu)

Less plastic in the environment

I've ordered a set and love them. Great website and photos too!

There's plenty of re-usable shopping bags on the market -- most famously Whole Foods "I Am Not a Plastic Bag" tote that sold millions around the world. What I like about this one is that it's bold, it's fun, and it actually holds a decent amount of groceries (unlike most re-usable bags). Plus, it folds down to fit in your back packet, which is handy -- 'cause who wants to carry an empty bag down the street? (via Apartment Therapy)

These bags are made out of nylon and are perfect for groceries since they can hold up to 25 lbs each. They come in some awesome bright colors and help reduce plastic on the earth and in turtles stomachs... (via daily candy)
