I received three Baggu reusable shopping bags in the mail today! I first heard about them when a reader (Mag) mentioned them in a comment. When I looked them up I wanted some, but never quite followed through. I need a few new ones, but didn’t really want to shop.
On Friday I wrote about how I was looking into them, and my friend K (who I wrote about in my interview with Sami– K is my super hero!) bought me these three as a surprise! She knows I love animals and she picked a cat, a dog, and a rabbit. However, there are many designs.
The reason I wanted to try these is that they have a stuff sack. I like to keep my shopping bags in my purse, otherwise I just forget them in the car. I only have one that stuffs in a small bag, and that’s usually all I use. I hate plastic grocery bags. I don’t want them in my life any more than necessary.
I think these are going to be perfect. I took some pictures for you of the tag, the bag with a regular plastic bag on top of it for size (these are the “standard” Baggu), the bag open (it would fit a 13 pound Shiba Inu, if anyone is curious. However, said Shiba Inu was NOT going to pose for a picture inside the bag), and the bag stuffed back in the sack. It is definitely never going to be nice and flat like the way they came, but it stuffs back in pretty easily.

I am in my thirties, which is hard to believe. Time goes by fast. Since that is the case, I have decided to write about it. If I can't slow it down, I can at least share with others and get help along the way! 
How To Be Myself 
I have so many cloth bags… but I always forget them at home… These look so cute! I totally want one, but I first need to wear out my current collection of cloth bags.

Yes, you do! It’s weird, mine almost all wore out at the same time.

You could donate the cloth bags and buy these. One thing I love is that they don’t stain like cotton. You ever try to get a broken jar of marinara sauce out of a cloth bag? It’s impossible…lol

What a nice surprise to read after a long day that your friend has bought you reusable bags, all due to me…lol. Though, plastic ones do make good bathroom trash liners

These are so cute, as I mentioned in my February plastic challenge post: http://minimalistsometimes.com/2015/03/02/february-plastic-challenge/ I have these really great carry bags that I keep permanently in my car, all I have to do is remember to bring them into the shop. If I forget – I have a bag like your baggus but bright orange, as a backup in my purse 🙂 I could probably need a couple more, of the baggy type.. they are great to stuff in a pocket or two..

Eh, I wouldn’t buy anymore if I were you- not until you really notice that you need one.
