Baggu Loves You!

Baggu Bagsย 

Ok… well, Baggu loves me. ย I love you. ย Thus… and without question, Baggu loves you. ย 

See how that works?

Baggu has graciously decided to make my life easier, greener and fashionably color coordinated. ย Thanks Baggu! ย 

See, instead of wrestling with single Baggu bags at the bottom of my purse, they’re put three matching bags in one pouch. ย Clever, right? ย 

Now, I can walk out of Trader Joe’s looking like my tree saving self, and not feel bad about graciously ignoring the Greenpeace people who heckle me about whether or not I want to save the polar bears. ย Obviously I want to save the polar bears…. don’t you see my Baggu bags!? ย ย 

Baggu bags. ย Three bags in two sets, for two readers. ย Leave a comment . ย Comments close Tuesday at noon PST. ย I’ll choose two comments at random and send those two darling readers a set of Baggu bags. ย Success! ย Go on… leave a comment and say hey!

  1. This is my first time posting, but I wanted to let you know how much I enjoy reading your blog! Like the baggu bags–more stylish than our resuable bags, which do the trick nicely but are more bulky.

  2. When form, function, fun, and feeling good about the simpler things in life come together-it is all good! These are fabulous bags and produced in a fashion to minimalize waste, yet maximize fashion for our everyday lives!
    Great ideas for a good reason!

  3. I love the green bags…really I do, but it’s gotten a bit out of had at our place. It’s gotten to the point that my hubby and I are hunting out cute, funny, unique ones because we just have too many of the generic green ones from Walgreens, Walmart, or (insert grocery or other store here). Last count was over 20….do we buy that many groceries?

    If any one is curious some of my favs include a Cooper’s Lake Campground UBBER bag with a image of thier castle (eerrr…snow fence) and a black one with oscar saying “It’s not easy being Green”.

  4. I will try to get over the fact that we (STILL) do not have a Trader Joe’s in this town and look forward to using these bags at my local co-op and Publix.

  5. Cute colors! I can always use bags to carry around my pile of stuff that keeps growing as my wallet gets thinner…
    It would be really neat if I won, the last time I won something was in high school…
    <3

  6. These bags would be wonderful. Right now the reusable bags I have are the big ones, but having ones that fit in my purse would be handy. I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

  7. Finally! An easy to stuff in my diaper bag set that gives me choices for carrying groceries, toys, snacks, change of clothes for potty training toddler or any of a million and one other needs. Cool, cool, cool!

  8. Man, this might just do the trick in convincing my boyfriend that it is totally cool and acceptable to take your own bags to to the grocery store!

  9. Hey Joy! I love your blog and wish I lived in L.A. so I could come to the picnic! I also love reusable bags!

  10. Hi Joy! The only New Year’s resolution I ever kept was to cut down on my use of disposable plastic – I would love these colorful bags! Thanks!

  11. Joy,
    What a great bag, and I love the colors. I have a few bags that are a natural color and they never seem to remember to go with me to the market. But these bags, wow….. the perfect “remember to take me colors!” I also think that these will be great knitting bags, great gather the eggs from the hens bags and for all the little items that never make it into the suitcase when packing for a trip bag! I would take these everywhere. Thank you for making the introduction!
    Best,
    Leslie

  12. Awesome! When they stop and say “You love trees!” I respond by saying, “I do, and I already do lots of take care of them!” So true…hopefully these bags will do the talking in the future!

  13. I’ve never seen these bags before but they are so lovely! It seems as though they would be much more convenient then always remembering to grab my big canvas totes.

    Also–Joy, I love your site; it has inspired me to get into baking this summer–I have tried many of your recipes.

  14. I want them to know that I want to save the polar bears too…so I need one of these bags. I don’t know any polar bears, but I am sure I would want to save them if I did.

  15. These look perfect for carrying my polar bear meat around in….I’ve been just throwing half a carcus over my shoulder like a lumberjack, but now I can free up one hand for clubbing a baby seal. Thanks Baggu!

  16. Those bags are so awesome! Also…I love your website. I haven’t tried any of the recipes, yet, but mouth definitely waters every time I stop by! And one of these days I will try the cinnamon rolls, and the cookie dough ice cream, and…oh, who am I kidding, I want to try them all!

  17. That is too cool! I have ones that I roll up and keep in my purse too, but are not that good! They are ingenious though, b/c then it is never forgetten at home or in the car!

  18. I LOVE my Baggu bag (even despite the fact that its hot pink… and i’m not the biggest fan of hot pink). I use it all the time, not just at the grocery store, but the lovely Target, library, etc etc. 3-in-1 sounds like a dream come true. And their other colors are so purty!

  19. I am positively addicted to tote/shopping bags. I collect them from different stores/states where I am visiting. These would help feed my addiction.

  20. I love my Baggu but these colors are the best and the 3 in a pouch are even better. If you don’t already have Baggu get some today!

  21. Joy – Thank you so much for all of the wonderful recipes you post! I have tried several and they are fab! You have inspired me to start my own blog – I review my successful/not so successful adventures in the kitchen. Thank you for giving us a fantastic food blog Joy! Best!

  22. I love those! it doesn’t hurt that I love pink and bright colours.

    Love your site! (I guess I’m just full of love at early hours of the morning…)

  23. Whether or not I get a free bag, I LOVE this site. I randomly found it and check it out often!
    Rock it, Girl!

  24. Ooooh, I love these things! They’re so bright and colourful and easy to keep with you when you’re shopping, etc.!

    Here I go, wishing myself luck!!!

  25. Hooray for reusable bags! Sadly, my bulky bags are often forgotten and left in my pantry…but if I were to have some small bags then maybe they would just hang out in my purse instead. Love your site!

  26. These are great looking bags. I like how compact they are. They would fit real well in the diaper bag when we are out shopping! Thanks for sharing! :-)

  27. As a long-time bag lady, I have never heard of these, but how cute! I do have multiple shopping bags in my car trunk, including one from Trader Joe’s and there isn’t one located in my State of residence! I’ll have to check out Baggu.

  28. Not only are you lovin’ savin’ trees, but you share like a champ! Thanks, Joy the Baker…we love you too! :)

  29. F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S! Those are so stinking cute– And since I’m looking for a job right now and the going to the grocery store is pretty much the only thing getting me out of the house– SIGN ME UP!

  30. Sooo cute!! I recently moved so my reusable bags are occupied with clothes and I’ve had to use paper for groceries – yikes! I need Baggu!

  31. Joy you are a treasure. These bags are so cute! Much more appealing than the black logo adorned ones you get from the grocery store. There’s no chance of me forgetting these puppies in my car!

  32. How cool is that?! I like the Chico bags but the 3-in-1 is an even better idea. Thanks for the chance to win! :)

  33. I was so happy to hear that we have a new Trader Joe’s opening up just one mile from our house. Now I can do my shopping, get some exercise, (so I can bake more!) and be green. My only problem was I didn’t want to look like a “bag lady” and embarass my kids! These would definitely solve the problem!
    Thanks for your wonderful blog!

  34. What a great giveaway! Thanks! I’d love to use these at my local grocery store and when I have the rare opportunity to stock up at Trader Joe’s!

  35. WOW am I ever late to this party… those bags are so funky! I get a kick out of their name, too.

    I keep buying massive bags of apples or two litres of milk, so consequently pretty much all of my cloth bags are now bursting at the seams or have big holes in them. I’m definitely in need of some new (durable!) bags for my healthy tasty fare :)

  36. Oooh! I was looking for something new to carry those Carrot Cake Pancake ingredients home from the Farmers Market! Fingers crossed. Thanks, Joy!

  37. Wow..what a coincidence. I was just browsing a website this morning looking at those very Baggu bags and thinking I gotta save some money so I can buy one!! I think they are awesome and a set of three makes so much sense. I hate going grocery shopping with my reusable bags only to find out I bought more than will fit in the bag I brought!! Three would do the trick!! Awesome Idea!! And so chic!!

  38. I’ve always loved Baggu bags but never actually bought myself any!
    (Maybe now is my chance to get my hands on some!!!!)
    Thanks :)

  39. Caaaaa-UTE! All my bags have ads splashed all over them and I’d seriously rather use something like that! Cute, cute, cute! And thanks for the opportunity to win! :)

  40. The colours are great, I wouldn’t leave my bags in the car if they were as bright as those. Oh b.t.w. Terrific Blog & Absolutely wicked recipes!! :-D….Unfortunately we don’t hav baggu in Australia & no Trader Joe’s either :-(

  41. Holy moly!!! There are so many comments here, whoever wins this should run directly out and buy a lottery ticket. :) I hope it’s me! so cute!

  42. I have the cutest shopping bag every, but it doesn’t fold up very small and convenient! This is tres nice, and hey, can’t say no to free, right?

  43. oh my goodness! everyone comes hopping out of the woodworks to sing our praises as soon as you have a giveaway. i keep meaning to comment on just how much i love reading/baking things from your blog! the thought of a new recipe possibly having been added since the last time i checked makes me incredibly excited and i can’t wait to see what you have in store over the next few weeks :)

  44. Hey Joy! I love your blog and have really enjoyed your recipes. :) I just made the browned butter blueberry muffins and the Cookie No-Dough Ice Cream last weekend. They were both great! These bags look really neat! Nice to not have to remember to pack more than one bag.

  45. What?! Color coordinated bags that fit in my purse? Maybe now people will stop giving me the stink eye for my large, unwieldy, bags from another grocery. Also, Joy, could you do me a favor and help me campaign to bring my beloved Trader Joe’s to Louisville, KY? I’m so tempted to move back to DC. No need for signs or picket lines, just leave a pancake or two with the checkout guy and store manager. mkthx!

  46. Ooooo…..I loveee the colors, very pretty. These are much better than the mismatched bags that come from all different stores that I carry but whatever helps save the polar bears and the whole planet :-)

  47. Reusable bags are way much cooler to walk out of a store with than plain ol’ white, brown, or clear plastic ones. Even Target can’t make their plastic bags more “designed” than reusable ones!

    -T.

  48. Love the colors on these bags! I use regular canvas and envirosax now, but I hadn’t seen all these great colors!

  49. these are so much nicer and more compact than my current reusable bags. oh, and cuter-cause that’s important, right? also-great for hauling wet kid clothes from the pool. multi-taskers-these baggus are awesome!

  50. I think it is such a fine idea to package three bags together, in such a compact fashion. Do that in sets of lovely colors, and it results in a winning combination. Kudos!

  51. Wow, those are great! My “set” of cloth grocery bags are from the Word Wildlife Fund (very small), the NRDC, and unmarked tote bags from my mother (on sale). Oh, and 1 from Safeway, which I don’t use in any other store _but_ Safeway, alas…

  52. First of all. I LOVE TJ’s, they have not arrived in the south yet, outside of Atlanta, but I got addicted living in California for the past year. I love them, I have my TJ’s bags that I take in to the grocery story here. We in the south are a little slow on taking up the resusable bags. Thus, you should give me these beauties so that I may look fashionable when shopping and setting a good example!

  53. Aww, I have used my current reusable bags so much they’re starting to wear out at the seams! I would love a new set!

  54. i just love your blog. your site is such a pleasure to read and look at. you have inspired me to try a whole mess of new ideas in my kitchen! :o) these bags are so much fun too! hehe

  55. I have a wonderful Baggu bag and I use it all the time….but the truth is that one can never have too many Baggu!!

  56. Ooo colorful! I love me some baggu bags. Especially 3 in 1! How awesome is that! Because usually? I’m like one bag short of what I need…

    Thanks for passing on the love!

  57. This is an awesome giveaway! So much easier to carry 3 bags in 1, than stuffing as many as I can in my purse or trying to remembering to bring the extra ones from home.

  58. so cool…3 in 1 and beautiful colors! so much cuter than the ones I currently use, not that it matters, but lets face it, we still like to make a statement even if the intent is to help the environment.

  59. wow a lot of comments, still I want to leave my first one here too. I love bags that are re-usable, helps me keep all my shopping in one place (and not forgetting a bag here or there) and it’s eco-friendly !

  60. these are cool…3 in 1! i always go to the store with a reuseable bag and a list..of course i buy more than what’s on the list and have to stuff everything in one bag or get an extra pastic bag :X great idea!

  61. I really need to start being more eco friendly and bring my own bags to the store so I don’t have to trash the earth with plastic bags any more. Winning these bags would be a great start!

  62. These look fabulous! Now if only they could add a flashing light that was triggered as I pulled into the grocery store parking lot, then I might remember to bring them in with me : )

  63. Oooo! My sister-in-law would LOVE these! As a poor college student who loves bright colors and being green, this would totally make her day. :)

  64. I need new reusable bags–I went on a baking spree a few weeks ago and cramming the 10 pound bags of flour, sugar, chips, buttermilk, and countless containers of eggs into the bags split some seams!

  65. I’ve truly been eyeing Baggu bags for a couple months online now…but can’t bring myself to pay shipping for them! So I’m cheap…but I still love them!

  66. These are so beautiful – maybe I’d actually remember to bring them in the store instead of leaving them in the trunk of my car. The best of intentions….

  67. I’ve been wanting to add to my bag collection. I love not using the plastic anymore, but all my bags are basically-unfoldable totes. Would be heavenly to have some that would fit in my purse!

  68. Those are awesome bags! Such awesome colors. I wish we had a whole foods store in town, but the closest one is over an hour away. Not too far in the Texas mindset, but far for me!
    You are awesome and always sound like you are having such a blast.
    Thanks for this blog!

  69. Thanks for the giveaway! These look like wonderful bags – and much easier to carry than the cloth bags i cram into my purse!

  70. hey! i’d love some baggu bags, and i’m looking forward to meeting you at the cupcake party very, very soon!

  71. Man I am so jealous of you, you have baggus and a Trader Joe’s. I miss Trader Joe’s the nearest one to me is 4 hours away.

  72. I have wanted some of these Baggu Bags for some time now. They are just so much cuter than the ones that I have. LOL. Vanity is great isn’t it. I hope that I can win!!!!

  73. Pretty bags, I need to stop lurking :) . Anyways, as I’m already commenting: I really love your blog – I’ve tried several of your recipes and they always turned out great. Your photography and stories are wonderful as well. Thank you!

  74. Oh my dog! When I saw this yesterday I thought there was a lot of people, but now…

    Every day you get more and more comments! Congrats!!! xD

    Donยดt loose your touch!

  75. I want to help save Polar Bears! Especially if I can do it just by winning those Baggu Bags. That’s me, saving the bears one free contest entry at a time. :)

  76. Love the Baggu Bags! I bought a few of them quite a while ago and one is getting a few holes after some very serious use. I love the idea of having 3 in one bag because it seems like I’m always fumbling to find the three I have and remove each of them from their individual pouches. Yeah for Baggu!!

  77. What a generous giveaway, thanks for sharing! I really love your blog, Joy. You are inspiring me to get back to baking, something I forgot how much I enjoy doing. Keep up the fun work!

  78. I have wanted to try these cute reusable bags that various companies are putting out. So getting them FREE would be even better!

  79. I’ve never tried these but am intrigued! Keep up the amazing food recipes and the pics. Love, love your site. I tell everyone about it!

  80. pretty colors. I keep meaning to sew some bags for myself but haven’t yet. I have been using $1 bags from a craft store (they are similar to the ones sold in grocery stores but without the logo). They will last for 2 years with care (IE don’t let your toddler drag them down a sidewalk)

  81. Those are great bags! Also, thanks for blogging about the kettle corn – I now crave it on a regular basis!

  82. This is just what I need. Colorful so you don’t loose them in that they stand out. These would make great gifts for the holidays too.

  83. These are vibrant and fun! Oh how I wish I could wander into a TJ’s now and then. I am rather addicted to their fire roasted peach salsa…

  84. These are just great. My mom and I were talking the other day about how odd our assortment of grocery bags were. I live in the country, and I know if we walked in the grocery store with these, we would definitely be the talk of the town! LOL

  85. My sister keeps telling me how I should buy some reusable bags and I keep meaning to, but haven’t done it yet. These would be a great start!

  86. Those are adorable and perfect to carry around in my bag so that I don’t have to explain to the clerk that once again I forgot my reuseable bags

  87. Oh, Joy – pleeeeeeease pick me. Somehow in the last 2 months I’ve lost my trader joes bags AND a little green bag that compressed down to a little pouch that hooked on my keys. Picnic cleanup gone wrong, and they were snatched. Would love these new colorful bags … fingers, toes and elbows crossed :)

  88. If I won the baggus, I’d be tempted to use them to wrap presents, instead of using wrapping paper, since they are so colorful. Then the gift recipient can be green too, and we’d definitely be saving a polar bear. ;)

  89. when I’m not turning my kitchen into a floury disaster or covering myself with paint, I’m a Trader Joe’s cashier. Every day, I hawk reusable bags to customers, and yet my own always end up full of yarn or something! These I would et aside for actual use!

  90. Hey! Love these Baggu bags. Pretty matching colours and after all they seem to take less room than my reusable shopping bag at the moment.

  91. Cute bags– small so as not to be too much to carry but big enough not to forget! Must get some for next shopping trip!

  92. They’re so cute! Much cuter than those generic reusable grocery bags that I bought with the best of intentions and have only used once. I have the annoying habit of forgetting them until I pull into the grocery store, at which point I realize that they are still on the hook next to the door- the place they occupy so that (ostensibly) I won’t forget them!

  93. These bags would be perfect for grocery shopping! I always forget to bring mine, but I definitely wouldn’t if they were this cute! Thanks for hosting this giveaway!

  94. Adorable!! I have yet to purchase any reusable bags except the giant supermarket kind, that don’t really fit in my purse. These would solve that problem!

  95. Joy,I have to share this with you. My two daughters turned me on to your site a year ago this passing Saturday. Saturday my wife and I became grandparents fo the first time and Sunday we shared the day moving our other daughter back to college.Thought I’d go for the trifecta and win the lovely purse for my wife. Keep on baking……….

  96. Ooo, I love these types of bags. I am always wanting to get them, but can never justify the cost! These have some great colors, though!

  97. I’ve been attempting to make my own green shopping bags, they’re workable, but not early as darling as these. I’d love to win. I love your site, by the way! I made your Father’s Day Pancakes twice for breakfst last week…..’cause they’re delicious!

  98. These are so cute! I’d love to have these–somehow I think it would make grocery shopping “fun” :)

  99. I just love this blog… I have for some time now, but it’s not because of your contest that I’m commenting now – I just love it. I don’t even bake (often) but your photos completely inspire me… I love the eye candy. Thank you, Joy! I enjoy these pink pages…

  100. Hey! Lovely giveaway! I always carry a cloth bag in my purse so that i dont have to take plastic from stores! Go Green!!

  101. what a smart idea! bags that fold neatly into a pouch that you stow in your handbag so that you can save the polar bears without even thinking about it! Brilliant! (now the local grocery stores don’t have to put up the “don’t forget your reusable shopping bags!” signs)

  102. So Cool!! I had never heard of them before. I love that they can fit the contents of 2-3 regular plastic bags, as most of the reusables you can buy at the grocery store are the size of the plastic bags. Would love to have these in the bottom of my purse!!

  103. Ooh! I could go for some new reusables… my others are falling apart, and I use them for everything

    Love the blog (first time commenting!)

  104. These are way cute. I love that they come in their own bag. My problem is that my bags are kind of bulky so, I throw them in my trunk. I alway forget to grab them on my way into the store. Then I hold up the checkout to run back out to the car to grab them.
    Love your website.

  105. so colorful. so, so colorful. and i love me some color!! as if you couldn’t tell…
    let me introduce myself. as you already know, i love color. and saving the polar bears. well…not really, but i do like doing things the “green” way. we already have some reuseable sam’s club bags, but those things are just sooo huge. anways, back to the intro…
    i’m a long time reader, no time commenter. but i’m working on that…
    and that’s just about it.
    thanks for the giveaway!!

  106. Free bags are great but they would be even better if they were filled with delicious treats from the best baker on the web :)

  107. Very cool idea. I keep reusable bags in the car but they don’t always make it into the stores with me. I love the idea of having them in my purse.

  108. great promo for the site, and for Baggu! It makes me so happy to see green ideas in the mainstream, gives me high hopes for all our grandkids.

  109. ! I don’t think there’s anything about these bags I can find fault with. It makes me want to go food shopping… immediately.

  110. Such pretty colors. Unfortunately, no Trader Joe’s here in South Florida, but I still use my own bags at the grocery store.

  111. i have never heard of Baggu but I DO want to save the polar bears ( i almost wrote polar bags and then caught myself! oops!)… :)

  112. New reader to your blog, and I’ve never heard of Baggu. How pretty! I shop at my TJ’s a lot, so thanks for the post. :)

  113. Somehow, I never use these types of bags for groceries. they’re so handy for day-to-day randomness (i.e. books, laundry, collecting car junk, etc.). But they’re for groceries, yes yes.

  114. Three matching bags – that’s almost too much goodness! In case I get randomly chosen, let me just say that I dislike blue colour. ;]

  115. How nifty! I’m forever having to walk back to my car for my bags…they don’t fit neatly in a purse.

  116. who are am I kidding? free bags… pls pick meeeeeeee
    on the serious side… In south Africa consumers have to pay for plastic shopping bags… this has more than halved the amount of bags in the landfills,etc…I’d love a baggu bag… do my bit for the environment.

  117. I’d love to win the bags. You have really hit the big time. Over 500 comments. Wow! I am impressed.

  118. OMG 500++ comments??!! Sigh. I NEED these, not want these. I’m in Italy, and they charge for plastic bags. And the ironic thing is that their REUSABLE bags are made of….you guessed it! PLASTIC! Altho harder and sturdier than your average plastic bag, its still plastic. Bah! Gimme, Gimme!

  119. Re-usable bags are so handy for city-livin, and earth friendly too! Oh, and where I live, they charge for plastic bags at shops, so it’d be great to win these :D

  120. Just moved to England from Texas and love that you cannot even get bags in the stores. So, bring your own!!! Or you pay for plastic sacks. I’d love these little gems! Thanks

  121. Just on my way back from France and Italy where you can’t even get plastic bags in the graocery stores. Could have used these.

  122. Can you send to New Zealand? It may be too far :( very pretty though just the kind of thing. I like pretty and practical.

  123. Love the polar bear comment Joy!! What a silly thing for them to ask – who doesn’t love Polar Bears [though at distance, I hear they can be preety scary up close!! ;)]

    Love the bags, how could you not smile at these colours!

    A

  124. I like in the UK too, Joan! They either don’t give you bags or charge for them – I think it’s great! I generally BYOB – Bring your own bag – but I could use some new ones :)

  125. Ehi!! Since I’ve found out reusable bags I fell better and I don’t have to check if the plastic bags from the grocery stores are “reusable” once more or “trash-able” away …. thumb up for reusable bags!! thanks for the giveaway
    Martina

  126. Ohhhh, I wish my life could be colour-coordinated… Don’t think they sell these in Wales though!! *sob* :'(

  127. I did wonder what sort of cake a “Baggu” was before I clicked on the link! They’re really cute, I shall have to find out if we can get them in England. *want*

  128. These bags are too perfect…I won’t have to break out my coastal cleanup bags anymore! Thanks!!

    Amanda

  129. I made your choc chip pancakes for dinner the other night. Sooooo good!! now I just need a bagu to put my pancake ingredients in and I’m all set… !! :)

  130. Joy-
    I love your blog. If I ever have samples to hand-out you will be on the top of the list.

    Keep the vegan recipes coming!

  131. Joy, we love you and your blog too! I love those colourful – and especially, colour-coordinated – bags, they are so much more fashionable than the rather uncoordinated linen-bags I use for shopping. I love winning pretty things, so thank you for the chance! :D

  132. I keep trying to justify buying one of these sets…then I feel silly since I already have a foldable bag. BUT…I could totally justify winning one! :-) Thanks for the chance!

  133. What a great idea to have three in one bag! I always forget my bags until I’m walking by the support column in the Seattle Trader Joe’s that says, “Did you forget your bags?”

  134. Hey! Great idea in great colors. None of my bags actually fit in my purse at all. Of course I also carry a super tiny purse.

  135. I actually have quite a collection of reusable grocery bags, but they are ugly and forest green with the Albertsons logo emblazoned on the front. It would be dreamy to have some prettier ones!

  136. it’s awesome that your readers are so into being green and using reusable shopping bags. of course, i’m sure it helps that these are super cute! I gotta say though, I hope your readers are as eco-conscious about the stuff that they’re putting into these bags and avoiding many of the products that places like TJ’s have that have excessive packaging!
    thanks for your blog

  137. you are an amazing baker.
    for the record, i took a cake decorating class and hated it.
    but that doesn’t mean i still don’t like/love to bake. it’s actually my therapy.
    it’s just the whole frosting/piping/roses/90 degree angle/pivot/steady now stuff that threw me off.

  138. Joy the bags are awesome.Why don’t you be an angel and ship them over to your loyal fans in Malaysia.:) trust me you have more than a dozen!love the vibrant colours!:)

  139. Glad you know that there is someone else out there who loves the wonders that are Baggu bags as much as I do. You can never have too many. ;-)

  140. Hey Joy!

    Bags that I could possibly keep (neatly) all in one place? Awesome! If I win, I won’t have to feel massive guilt for forgetting my non-handy reusable bags that I always leave in my kitchen instead of putting back in my trunk!

  141. Hi Joy,
    I’ve been meaning to tell you that the cream scone recipe in Marion Cunningham’s “The Breakfast Book” is delicious, easy and basically foolproof. I’d be happy to send it to you if you don’t have the book (saw your lament about scones and thought of this recipe immediately).
    Hope your picnic plans are going well! The bags are super-cute, by the way. :)

  142. Oh my goodness–those bags are perfect! I have been looking for something just that cute and colorful. Love it!

  143. Those are very cute! I love the bright colors! I seriously need to remember to get some reusable bags. I already recycle, but I need to go one step further. Joy, you’re awesome.

  144. I haven’t heard of these. Thanks for sharing the info! I’ve enjoyed your website! Keep it up! :)

    Heidi

  145. Oooo, if I had those I could finally avoid the meanie-face glare of the bagger at the grocery store. I can just feel him blaming my plastic bag habit for his grandchildren’s asthma.

  146. woo, my local grocery store recently went plastic bag less and now i am a spectacle when i walk out with the paper bag monstrosities they still provide. this is what i need.

  147. This is a great time to say “Hey!” and thank you for all the great recipes and posts. Truly enjoy your Web site!

  148. Joy,
    Your website is a joy to read! Thank you for ALL your creative ideas. Keep up the good work! Of course, I would love to win the bags, I would keep 1 and give 2 away to others!

  149. Everyone should use re-usable bags… these are great, but I would bet that everyone has many “bags” around their house they can employ. Go Green !!

  150. Ok, not even saying this to suck up or anything, but the moment I stumbled across your blog, I’ve been inspired to release the inner baker in me. So thank you for that inspiration because, despite the fact that it’s caused me to pack on a few pounds, it’s been incredibly great for birthdays, celebrations, and just tasty daily deserts!

    And about those Baggu bags… can they possibly get any cuter!?! I’d love to assist in the saving of polar bears, so sign me up for the giveaway!

    xo

  151. I love! I need as many as possible so I can spread them around, and that way there’s always one when you need one. Leaving them in one spot inevitably leads to forgetting to bring them along…

  152. Your bright, positive attitude keeps me coming back to your site to see what you’re up to in the kitchen!

  153. Of coure I want to save the polar bears too. So enter me in the contest for the adorable, planet saving bags! :)

  154. GREAT Blog! I found your blog a few weeks ago and just love reading it. I think so far I’ve made about 5 of your recipes and have bookmarked about 20 others… :) Thanks for the great pics, explanations and creative ideas! I love it. Thanks for the bag giveway also! Very cool!

  155. These look awesome! As a college student living in my university’s dorms, I cannot even begin to express how hard it is to drag the bazillion bags you get at the grocery store (when everything is bagged in plastic!) all the way up to the twelfth floor! I need to look into getting these for sure!

  156. those are nice and colorful. i’ve been tempted to order a few. . . since i’ve been using the clunky ones i bought at the grocery store with the store’s name on it.

  157. Yahoo for baggu!
    Thanks for always including a wee bit o’ story telling with your fantastic recipes :o) Your blog is good reading with my morning coffee!

  158. I love them! So cute! I love your blog. A friend told me about it and I have been making things ever since!

  159. We don’t have Trader Joe’s where I come from, but I just moved and found one down the street! I’m looking forward to seeing what all the hype is about (although I hear the coffee and puff pastry are reason enough to go)!

  160. I love the colors of these. They would make me quite fashionable at the grocery store and then maybe the clerk wouldn’t look so pained when I bring my own bags!

  161. Love the bags–they would fit perfectly in my diaper bag unlike the other fabric shopping bags I have.

    Love your blog and I’d like to request more Bundt cake recipes. I can’t get enough :)

  162. I loved walking the aisles of the farmer’s market the other day politely declining their plastic bags and asking if they would just weigh my fruit and put it in my feed 100 bags. I love that these are fun and colorful and would be great for my daughter heading to college this week at WSU. She’s a vegetarian girl and plans on doing some cooking for her soon to be new friends in college (to help them understand that healthy does not equal a life of tofu). I hope I win!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love your blog Joy. And I’m not just saying it to try to persuade you to pick me. I really am fond of this blog, and I blogged about that very fact just days ago(prior to the giveaway). I am making the avocado chocolate cake for my daughter’s 18th bday on the 13th and have been enjoying making my own vanill extract thanks to your recipe and an amazing deal on vanilla beans at costco. I even served the peach brule’ for dessert today. Yep. I love food, love to cook, and your recipes are fantastic. My daughter can’t wait for her birthday to get here, and she intends on picking out her own avocados. LOL Thanks for sharing your kitchen wisdom with us.

  163. These look so much neater than my TJs bags scattered all over the trunk of my car. I like the pretty colors!

  164. Love you…love the blog…love reusable bags!! (I’m slightly addicted and my husband might kick me out if I come home from TJ or WF with one more bag!) :o)

  165. They are pretty and colorful and mindful!!!!
    Would you send them over to Brazil??? I don’t think they sell them over here…….. I would love to win them!!!

  166. That’s a good idea to put three bags in one. I never use the bags I have because they are so awkward to carry with me!

  167. Wow, that is a lot of comments. I like Baggu. My normal grocery/etc bags are kind of the corny store brand ones. And they don’t fold very small, so I tend to forget to bring them. But if I could fit them in my purse? Different story!! :)

    Lalycairn (at) gmail.com

  168. I decided the other day that all the ladies in my family and all my girlfriends are getting these bags for Christmas! Yay for the giveaway!

  169. I suppose this way I could misplace my bags all at once instead of one at a time at the bottom of my backpack.. I like the odds!

  170. I love your site! I went to a farmer’s market last week and there was a baker like yourself there selling her wares! Very good bread! Anyway, I told her to click onto your website and check you out, she doesn’t do computers, she says! Anyway, I would love the bags!

  171. Gotta have something to carry home all the ingredients I buy to make all the great recipes you post for us! :-) Yay!

  172. So beautiful. Thanks for giving your readers an opportunity to win a set!
    And thanks for your fun blog!

  173. Love the bags. Also STILL loving the easy popcorn recipe you posted a while ago. I’m mocked in my household because I make it just about every night. It’s worth it though!

  174. I’ve been using mesh reusable bags for years but these would be more suitable for a wider variety of things!!
    I have posted your blog on Facebook and shared it via Google Reader so many times! Thanks for inspiring so much good food preparation in my life! :)

  175. It’s taken me about a year to get consistent about taking reusable bags into stores. I’ve actually had to get plastic bags from a relative just to have some to use at the house. These bags look so much better than my current bags. Thanks for the giveaway.

  176. These are absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for a great contest and all of the wonderful recipes… I love your blog!

  177. These bags look and sound great. I’ve been reading your blog for a couple weeks and I’m loving it.

  178. Man theses ROCK! Love how neat and tidy they are packaged. With these I wouldn’t have to make two trips to the store. One to get the groceries and one back to my car for the eco friendly bag.

  179. Aww, aren’t they cute?! I’ve been on a bad streak of forgetting my reusable bags lately— but they’re so bulky! and not color coordinated! Surely these would solve my problem!

  180. Hello Joy,
    I think your blog is lovely!!!
    Even though itโ€™s slowly turning into a torrential downpour outside Iโ€™m currently baking a lemon meringue pie (the crust is cooling as I type) .
    The bags also remind me alot of your website, colourful, whimsical and practical.
    Keep up the fantastic work, all the best

  181. My sister has some of these and when we left the grocery store together this morning she was looking super stylish and I was not :(
    Sibling rivalry says I NEED some of these!!
    Thanks Joy!

  182. i would love to use these bags at TJ’s too! right now i have a very random assortment of bags, i could use the upgrade!

  183. Gotta say – those S’mores brownies were to die for!! New to your website, but I’m loving the recipes!

  184. Wow there are a lot of comments!!! I must say that these bright and cute bags are way more convenient than the reusable ones that DON’T fit in your purse.

    P.S. the Raspberry Lemonade is delicious, I have made two batches so far. One of them I added a little bit of lime!!

    Thanks for your fabulous blog!

  185. I love your blog! I have a bag full of frozen whole wheat chocolate chip cookies in my freeze (best..idea..ever!). These bags look much nicer than mine! I’ll have to check out Baggu now!

  186. I would love new bags! My one-year-old has started dragging mine around the house, stashing her favorite items in them and forgetting where she’s put them…

  187. i love stashing reusable bags where ever i think they might be handy. in my purse, in the car, in the diaper bag…love them!

  188. I love reusable bags like this — I keep a stash in my car and have finally broken the habit of forgetting them when I go into the store! With the number of trips I’ve been making to farm stands and farmers markets lately, I could sure use some more!

  189. We just got a Trader Joe’s and that makes me a happy person. I load up my bags with their chicken apple maple sausages and life is good.

    Your blog is one of the few I read regularly. Thanks.

  190. I am such a ‘bag’ lady… and cute ones!! Oh my, I would love to win to and put MY groceries in classy ones!!

  191. Super fun! I always get embarrassed because my reusable bags have certain store names on them–so when I go through the checkout at one store with another store’s bag, I feel like I got cheating on them! These would certainly solve that sticky issue!

  192. Great giveaway! Just checked out their site and I’m going to buy some of their veggie bags. Thanks for introducing me to Baggu!

  193. SO, my housemate punishes herself with exercise on a regular basis – she has a stressful job and do you know what? I keep baking a destroying her healthy eating plan because she can’t help it. I made your double choc walnut raisin cookies, and added macadamia’s and dried figs (thus making them “fruit and nut”) and she ate half the batch and was in heaven. They were PERFECT hot out of the oven, freshly cracked, but also delicious and soft the next day. delicious. thank you! oh and love the bags. cuuuuuute!

  194. Those bags look so great! Much prettier than the one bag I have now. I need more, since my sister is one of those heckling “Save the polar bears” people. Thanks Joy!

  195. I love the colors! And these are so much more compact than my reusable bags…I would love to try them!

  196. Love those brightly coloured bags. Lovely, lovely! I hope I win some – otherwise I’m going to have to go and buy some!

  197. This is my first time on your blog, and I’m HOOKED already. After drooling over the cinnamon rolls, and the root beer float cake, I think I need to hit the store for ingredients. Mmmmm…..

    The bags are fab, and I’m with you, if it keeps the do-gooders off your back, they automatically rock!!

  198. I love the look I get when I tell the art store people that I don’t want a bag and walk out with an arm full of stuff carefully balanced…

  199. These bags are gorgeous! I love the bright colors! I’ve been known to use a grocery tote as a purse…these would just further that habit. So cute!

  200. Oh I love Baggus so much! I use them for everything – I never have enough. I would love to add to my collection!

  201. hey! I’m just leaving a comment for the free stuff… but it give me an excuse to say I love your blog!

  202. Kewl bags! So if I win the Bags…will you please fill them up with all your yummy stuff you make like: muffins, cookies etc before you mail them off to me? hehehehehe

  203. Your blog is ammmmmazing. When I found it I spent about 2 hours going thru back logged posts marking the ones I wanted to try (all of them!) And let me tell you that your vanilla and chocolate cookies with sea salt or FABULOUS and a huge hit with all those who I force to eat my cooking. Keep up the being really amazing-ness!

  204. I have some of the Baggu bags and they are wonderful!!! I love the colors, how small they fold up, how much they will hold, and how well they are holding up!! Awesome giveaway. :)

  205. Oh, those lovely blue and green Baggu bags just jumped right out at me and said “Hello! Fabulous day, isn’t it?” I think they would be very happy to lug around my nom noms, to include the batch of freshly-baked dark chocolate chip cookies sitting on my kitchen counter, just waiting for their chance to be gobbled up at the office tomorrow. Thanks for giving me a chance to fulfill the fondest wish of those bright and happy Baggu bags! ;)

  206. I have never used these. I have some bags from Kohls that have crazy shopping sayings all over them. These are so much prettier! Thanks for the opportunity:)

  207. I love Baggu bags! I have a couple and I use them all the time–they’re great to have stashed in your bag for those unexpected shopping excursions.

  208. I just love your witty sense of humor. And these bags….. Be still my heart. who would want to use boring old plastic bags when you have these festive colored ones. Thanks for the chance.

  209. Much prettier than my mish mash of canvas giveaway bags! I made your rice krispie treats with the chocolate and peanutbutter fudge the other day. I love your site, but I’m pretty convinced you are the devil! I made them to give away, and I’m pretty sure I ate most of the pan.

  210. I love reusable bags- I just got my girlfriend a really cute one. We probably have 9 or 10. But a few more wouldn’t hurt! :)

  211. Those look great! I bought some earlier this year from one of the commissaries (I live near Ft. Hood, in TX). They’re canvas-like material. I thought they’d hold up better than the others I had seen but I have had several come apart on me. The Baggu bags look like they would hold up really well!

  212. Ah, gorgeous colors! I have been using the same canvas shopping bags since we lived in England in 1987…no kidding. When I first started using them here in Utah I got some very disconcerted looks. I figure I have saved almost 1,900 bags in those years. Woo Hoo!

  213. So pretty! I’d love to have a set. I have one reusable bag & love how I feel when I use it. I’d love to get more, but can’t justify spending much $$ on them!

  214. I always forget my ‘green bags’ home, I really need to start paying better attention before I leave the house…

  215. I adore Baggu!!!! I didn’t know they made the 3 in 1!!! Even if I don’t win I’m ordering some now! Thank you Joy!!

  216. I love these bags. I ride my bike a lot to the market and this will be perfect. I hope I win, I love love LOVE these bags. Here’s to going green-er!

  217. I’ll say Hey! I just found your blog a couple of months ago and am loving it! I’ve tried several recipes – lots more on my list!

  218. Love your blog – and while I usually remember to bring bags to the grocery store, they’re cumbersome and I rarely remember to bring them anywhere else.

  219. So cute! I actually remembered my 2 bags from reusablebags.com when I went grocery shopping today. I always leave them at home or in the car!

  220. Seriously??!?! Those are awesome.

    I have been addicted to your raspberry lemonade all summer. Thanks for the fun writing, great pics, and phenomenal recipes.

  221. i think that the bright colors of these bags might help me to remember to actually take them to the store with me… yay for coordinating tree-friendliness!

  222. Awwww-summmm.

    I had some Flip n Tumble bags that I just loved, but when our car was stolen, they were in it. :( Would love to try me some Baggu!

  223. You’ve got hundreds of comments already, so here’s one more… I just found your blog looking for directions on how to season a new cast iron pan… and from the recent entries I’ve read today I love you! You’ve got a great sense of humour, a good eye for the camera, and a deft touch in the kitchen… and I’m pretty sure I’m going to love your recipes too.

  224. I have one reuseable bag….but the boyfriend uses those plastic ones from the store for cleaning our catbox every night….I have plastic bags coming out of my ears!

  225. What great bags. So much nicer than the ones my grocery store sells that are very bulky and not nearly as pretty.

  226. I love reusable bags! I usually use my blue Trader Joe’s bag, but I like how the Baggu are so compact when collapsed.

  227. Ohh, I love the blue ones! One can never have too many bags (unless they’re the icky world destroying plastic ones)!

  228. I want to save the polar bears too! I would much rather be a Baggu Bag lady than the regular bag lady I normally look like stumbling in and out of TJ’s.

  229. These look great! Mine are brown, which is still good for the environment but jeez, some color would be nice :-) Thanks for the give-away Joy!

  230. I have never heard of Baggu, they look awesome! Having that many bags is a MUST with three kids and one husband to buy groceries for!

  231. I have some string bags that I always carry with me that work a treat, but would love something as stylish as these!

  232. Fun! I might actually enjoy unloading groceries from the car if I had these. Thanks for a great site with yummy recipes (and apparently fun giveaways too!).

  233. I love the bright colors. even if I don’t win I think it’s time I ordered these, but free things are so nice in august

  234. oh! those look awesome. and if i won, i could finally give my old whole foods bag to my cat, she loves it…a little too much.

  235. these are soooo cute! Much cuter than my K-State t-shirt bags ! I love that they look like they will fit in my purse without taking up all the room in there! Thanks!

  236. I always think I have enough bags with me…until I reach the checkout and sheepishly realize that, once again, I got too excited in the produce aisle…so predictable! These bags will help a lot :)

  237. Ha, I love your bit about ignoring the Greenpeace people while walking out of TJ’s. I do the exact same thing, though lately they’ve been replaced by Save the Children solicitors. I love the bags. I love your writing. I love your cinnamon rolls!

  238. Great idea having multiple bags in one and such happy colours! Made the buttermilk pancakes from your Dad’s recipe for brekkies, pls tell him they were fab. Thanks for a fave rss :) Greetings from PDX.

  239. I just made the giant vanilla sugar cookies even though it’s SUPER hot out.

    P.S. Those baggu bags are just so pretty. They just care about trees the way only a baggu bag can I guess.

  240. This is the perfect opportunity to tell you that I filled my freezer with frozen cookie dough balls last night. I narrowly avoided eating a baggie full for breakfast this morning…

  241. I would like to use them in Spain…but….is for residents on the USA only???? I hope not ;-D Itยดs a pity that here in Spain people uses soooo much plastic bags…..I think we (yes, me too because i canยดt find these wonderful bags here) are soooo prehistoric……
    Congratulations for your site again……..I love it (I keep an eye on it everydays)……kssss

  242. Hafa Adai! That’s “hello” in Chamorro (people from Guam).

    I love how you can make a difference while looking fantastic doing it!

  243. How nice that they all fit in one little pouch! Much easier to stick in a purse or car and actually remember to take with you.
    Love your blog, by the way!

  244. What cheerful colors! I need more reusable shopping bags, would love to win these! Thanks for the great contest Joy!

  245. My old set of TJs paper sacks have been reused for about two years… I think it’s time for some bright, fun replacements!

  246. Who wouldn’t want to save the polar bears? They’re so cuddly! Err.. maybe I’m thinking of koalas… Anyway, I love those bright colors, they’re wonderful!

  247. These bags are much cooler than what our local grocery store sells. I always mean to take my own bags then end up using their plastic because I forget.
    Might be hard to forget such pretty bags.

  248. Oh wow, those bags are lovely! Very eco-friendly and hippie like, and so bright!

    I just also want to take this opportunity that as of, oh, 5 minutes ago, I have just successfully completed reading your entire blog back catalog. From start to finish. No skipping. Seriously. I now want to bake your entire blog back catalog, and also, strangely, to consume a jam donut.
    Thank you, for providing such an entertaining few days, and for making my mouth water continuously, much to the annoyance of my fambly.
    Now, to bake devils food cake! Start from the beginning, as they say…

  249. I love your web site. It’s been and inspiration and confirmation that there are other people out there that like German Pancakes lol.

  250. Really Awesome Blog!!! I could really use some new bags seeing as my husband accidentally let two of ours at the grocery store last time…lol.

  251. I love the idea of multiple bags in one pouch! Anything to make it easier to remember them and use them. Thanks for the giveaway!

  252. i just got back from buying fresh corn and alfalfa honey at the farmer’s market…these bags would be great for local produce shopping!

  253. These are awesome! They are similar to the Longchamp totes, but more casual and affordable. Thank you for sharing!!

  254. Love your blog! These bags are so much cuter than what I bring to the store now – and much more compact! They’d fit right in my diaper bag :)

  255. These are lovely, adorable colors and perfect for so many things, thankx for sharing and for the possible chance to win. i would love em!

  256. Hey. I wanted to tell you that I made one of your blueberry muffin recipes, it had applesauce in it, and they turned out perfectly. I was going to post pictures but we ate them too quickly to have pictures.

  257. Hello! I have been reading you for a while. I think I found you from Pioneer Woman…but maybe not. I can’t remember. Anyway, I love your site and I love Baggu! Thanks for both! Take care!

  258. Living in Scotland, UK, I visited Trader Joes for the first time this summer when visiting my Brother-in-law in Chicago – LOVED the place, and maybe you won’t agree with me here, I couldn’t believe how cheap certain products were..love the bags by the way, and living in the UK, if I win you can send them to my bacherlor Brother in law – a regular at Trader Joes!

  259. They’re adorable! Well, if not exactly adorable, they’re a million times cuter than the sad black ones I bought at the grocery store.

  260. i’ve never heard of these..they are adorable. but, more importantly, i am so jealous that you live near trader joe’s. i grew up just south of LA and, oh, how i miss my trader joes. often our vacations revolve around the presence of one their stores…

  261. I’ve never heard of Baggu! It sounds kinda Japanese. Mmm… Trader Joe’s — I love their dried white peaches!

  262. I love these! Its a wonder more people don’t use them, we could generate far less waste. My mom has been using cloth shopping bags for years. It just makes sense

  263. The colors grabbed my attention….the fact that are machine washable is FAB. Friends tell me they look great even after repeated washings

  264. I love the look of these, and it would be so much easier to carry around Baggus than hauling four or five “regular” reusable store bags back and forth from the house to the grocery…

    Awesome!

  265. Yay for saving the Polar Bears! (and all the other species in danger)
    These bags are awesome and so are you, Joy!

  266. So cute! And I’m looking for some new cute bags. Does anyone know how well these stand up to wear and tear? My bags (not baggu) are all falling apart at the bottom seam and various things have poked holes through the fabric.

    Thanks Joy for passing along the love!

  267. Oooh they’re so bright and pretty! Isn’t it great when we can be eco-friendly and colourful all at the same time? They’re great.

  268. I don’t think I have posted here before but I just wanted to say that I love your blog.

    I’m a sucker for bags. :)

    Keep up the good work.

  269. Looks nice like a nice bunch of bags you have there.
    Btw, I just showed my sister your site, and shes been in a pre-teen baking frenzy and obviously ate it all up like peanut butter and chocolate ice cream bars (her latest creation).

  270. Thank you, thank you! The colors of those set of bags are lovely! Much better than the ones I currently take with me to the store!
