I had problems with my internet connection. Then Word Press loading up my photos today. Firefox crashed while I wrote this post. Here are a couple quick posts to tide everyone over until tomorrow.
I stopped at Trader Joe”s with my little guy. We used our reusable bags.
Baggu Standard Baggu Tote Bag: I purchased this for my younger son using my Birchbox points. I first saw the same tote in a different style in the Birchbox LE Under the Sun, which I did not order. I did like the bag featured in the box and decided to order a tote for my younger son. He uses it mainly to keep books in the car to read.
Flip & Tumble Reusable Bag: This reusable bag is from the PopSugar Must Have April 2015 Box. This blue bag is “my” bag. It’s not as exciting as the cat bag:)
I took this picture last week on a cool night. Zelda was watching the little guy blow bubbles. She loves him and tolerates me.
What subscription box items have you used today?
Such a great topic and I use reusable bags daily and for everything. I got the flip and tumble bag in swap, I have 31 brand thermals, cute owl bag from Cost plus, I’m a bag lady. I always have a bag in car or purse. Thanks SubBElla.
We love reusable bags! The owl bag sounds adorable. Thanks!
Great topic as Kelly said. Like those flip and tumbles got one from Amazon and happy to get another one with Popsugar… I usually have one in a bag for overflow/purchases. Like Baggu shopping bags they hold more (BTW too cute kitty pattern) but I feel flip and tumbles are more convenient. More and more places are going without plastic and I hate paper bags so we have a TJ cooler bag holding a bunch of lightweight freebie shopping bags in it.
Hey… What did you get at TJs?
My problem is that I leave them in the car. The good thing is that my teen can go to the car and retrieve the bags. I agree with you on the bags. I may order a few more with my points.
Forgot to add the TJ’s reply. We purchased more of the milano-like cookies, mini icecream cones, the pasta sauce, and a package of cookie butter cookies. I also picked up a few items for my sister – the mints that come in a little tin container, TJ sea salt chocolate bars, and hashbrowns.
On the bags: that is what my husband does almost everytime is to head back to get the bags. I wish I could do a bunch of little portable bags in the cooler but using the freebie grocery bags that fold flat work well especially since I have a ton and they wear out easily. Would like to use canvas but they are heavy and not as convenient. So the little portables go in the purse/diaper bag the Baggu is awesome for its flatness but you have to not lose the pouch and be good about folding it back as opposed to the flip tumble which is more convenient but bulky.
On TJ Haul: Yum.
My county went plastic bag-less a couple of years ago, and now the whole state is doing it. So I have tons and tons and tons of reusable bags. Did I mention tons? Basically, everyone and their mother uses them for branding purposes so you can pick them up for free where booths are found.
I prefer large bags, so I only use the foldable ones as emergency bags to keep in my purses. Each purse in my collection has one 🙂
nana – That is a good idea. I should put one in my purse. Most people in my area do not use reusable bags. Maybe about 10% at the local grocery store and around 50% at places like Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s.
