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.
