These are SO COOL!!! I totally want one! I’m not crazy about plastic even when it is BPA Free, but for occasional use it’s certainly still better than a regular disposable plastic bottle. It’s crazy how small they roll up when empty! Check them out at ReusableBags.com

I’m loving my new Green Bag Tag from CVS! What a brilliant idea! There is a CVS across the street from my home and office so I’m a frequent shopper there. For just $1 I purchased my GBT. Each time I shop and either use a re-usable bag or no bag at all, they scan my Extra Care card and then my GBT. After 4 visits I get $1 cash back coupon to use on my next purchase! The actual tag is even made from a corn based material. I know it is somewhat of a hassle to have to lug around one more card to scan but you could attach to it your key ring or loop it through the handle of your reusable bag.
I’m in love with my new Flip & Tumble reusable shopping bag! It’s super cute – hot pink and rolls up into a neat little ball. It is so much easier to pack back up – just slide your fingers into the pouch, crumple the bag up into it and flip the top over and there you go! SO much easier than the old bag I had that required folding!

These are my new lunch containers – well I can use them for food storage at home too but I love that they’re so light weight and are perfect for bringing food to work. The top expands which is really cool – so you can really fill the container up, or use is to toss the dressing on your salad – or they say you can dump your food into the top and microwave in it – I’m not crazy about microwaving silicone/plastic so I’ll pass on that but it’s a nice option.

I just got these and love how handy they are! They’re very light weight and perfect for snack or small sides to take to work or for traveling. I’ve been working on eliminating plastic from my kitchen which has meant me using a lot of glass which is a little heavy to tote to work and having to worry about it breaking. They’re $24.95 for the set of three – definitely not nearly as cheap as plastic containers but they’ll likely last forever AND I don’t have to worry about them leaching chemicals into my food!

So I finally got around to exchanging my old Sigg water bottle for one that is BPA-FREE! It’s fun to have a new one after a couple of years but not having to pay for it! And it is much better to know that I won’t have to risk any BPA leaching into my drinking water!

These reusable produce bags are great and are so much better for the environment than the plastic bags at the store. They can easily be washed and they’ll last for a very long time!

My absolute favorite shopping tote is from Resuable Bags. The Reisenthel – Modern Grocery Tote is fabulous because it has 6 exterior pockets to hold things such as wine bottles, jars of spaghetti sauce, etc – they’re great for holding anything breakable. It also has a removable zippered pouch attached to the inside. This is a must have!
Regularly $29.99, it is currently 15% off! Order yours now!
