Things we love: baggin’ your own groceries

Growing up, we were all threatened by our parents with the old “do you want to end up bagging groceries?” line when we slacked on homework.

Maybe in the days of paper or plastic this would have been a decently effective tactic. But in today’s generation of BYOB (bring your own bag), bagging groceries doesn’t seem so bad.

Saving the Earth’s resources one reusable bag at a time – and looking stylish while doing it – feels pretty darn good.

I carry half a dozen canvas bags in my trunk and a fold up version in my purse at all times. You never know when the shopping itch is going to strike, and you don’t want to be that anti-green gal who has to opt for plastic in a pinch.

A couple of my well-loved bags are on their way out, and I just stumbled upon a fabulous replacement: Neela Bags. Also founded by two lovely female entrepreneurs, Neela is helping us live more environmentally-friendly lives in a functional and super stylish way.

Starting at $6.00, they’re an inexpensive way to help you do your part to help save this little place we live in.
