I’ve been taking home my groceries in reusable bags for a few years now. It’s easy, it makes the cashiers happy, and it makes me feel kinda good. One downside for those cloth bags, though, is that they seem to take up a lot of room. For example, keeping a few in my car (so I know impromptu shopping trips won’t leave me with piles of paper/plastic after unloading) and a few at home leaves me with a lot of bags on my hands. In the interest of simplification, I think I’m going to scoop up a few lightweight, hard-working Baggus. These insanely compactible earth- and people- friendly shopping bags hold almost 3 grocery bags full of goodies thanks to their super-strong, rip-stop nylon construction… then fold up in to a flat 5×5 inch square that you can even squish into your pocket. The best thing about these bags (aside from the fact that they’ll help you save the world, no cheerleader necessary) is how cheap they are: you can score a set of three for just $28. Baggus come in a bunch of fun colors, all of which you can check out on their website.
