Baggu For You

February 4, 2009 by Joy the Baker

Baggu

I’ll be honest, I have reusable grocery bags just about coming out of my ears.  The one big problem is that I leave the darn bags at home exactly every time I head out to the store.  I feel like a nasty whale killer every time I walk out of the store with a boat load of those thin plastic bags.  Sure, they’re good for cleaning cat liter, but still… the whales.

Baggu figured it out for us.  Reusable shopping bags that fold and scrunch up into a little pouch that you can keep in your purse or in the back seat of you car.  I think they’re actually everything bags.  I’ve used mine as a gym bag, as a quick overnight bag and as a purse… but I’m a little hippie like that sometimes.

I have three bags that I think you should have.  Let’s go ahead and call this a giveaway.  Three bags for three readers.  One each.  

Want one?

Leave a comment.  Tell me whatever you like.  You’ve got until Saturday, and then the random drawing and mailing begins.

    Hi! Like you I have tried to become more green. My problem is that I share 2 cars with my kids, and invariably the one I’m in when I stop to shop is NOT the one with the cloth bags! I could use one of these and the address where I could buy more of them!

    Part of my problem is that half the time I find myself at the store and I’ve left my bags at home. Le Sigh. Those baggus are awfully cute!

    I keep my “green” shopping bags in my car. As soon as I unload and put away the groceries, I immediately take the bags back out to the van. *shines perfect green consumer badge* LOL
