I’m a bag addict! It’s just another way for me to feed my love for fashionable bags hahah… but I keep a few in my car all the time for when I go shopping and my mom taught me to do that years ago. If I ever forget, well, I use the plastic bags again for garbage from my pets so they never go directly into the trash.

When I go out of my house, I always have at least one textile bag in my backpack, so I never need any plastic bag when I go shopping. I got so much of them, that I leave bags at my friends place, when I carry something over to them. even they, by the time, got lots of these bags, so these are circulating around between a lot of people. give one at a time, get another one some other time.
and if I go out in the greens & see for example some elderflowers, the best way transporting them home is a canvas bag.
btw nice designs & nice wodka!

Easy. If I’m in the mall (god forbid), and I’m planning on making several purchases at different stores, I always a) use my canvas bags or b) if I’ve forgotten them, I’ll take one paper bag and use it for all the purchases. Then I save the paper bag at home for collecting recycled papers.

My grandmother taught me to use canvas bags instead of plastic ones back when I was 9 years old.
I have fond memories of my summers in Manhattan, going shopping with her and her oversized Barnes & Noble bag she used for groceries.
This design by Rosario is fantastic. No doubt it will be a best seller.

I only use organic non bleached canvas bags when i go to any store. They even did a piece on me in the local paper about green living – the bags, my hybrid, solar power etc.. I don’t do it to be pretentious but to send a message to other people who will hopefully do the same. I even give gifts at holidays in the bags (as I see others do) in hopes that they’ll then use the bags when they go to the store and continue the trend

I always keep a supply of reusable shopping bags in my car, so that I have them whenever I go shopping. I’m even going to begin putting birthday gifts in reusable shopping bags rather than paper ones. Hopefully, I can convert others in my circle to use them when they go shopping.

Our rule used to be that if we forget our re-usable bags, we purchase another one at the store. 20 bags later, we never forget them now! Keeping them in the trunk helps on those unexpected trips to the store.

I love my reusable bags and I take them everywhere. On the rare instance I forget to take it to the store I will ask for no bag or just stuff it into my purse. My husband was a tough sell but he is now on board with the reusable bags. An even tougher sell was my parents but I bought them some reusable grocery bags and 8 times out of 10 they are using them!

When I go out shopping for a day at the mall and I forget my reusable bags, I use the bag from my first purchase to carry all my other purchases. I refuse any tissue wrap and just toss it in with the others. You only have 2 hands…you don’t need 10 bags!
