Tote Your Groceries the Waste-Less Way

Waste-Less bag with groceriesOne thing that I'm trying to do to help the environment is to use fewer paper and plastic grocery bags when doing my shopping. I've managed to amass a sizable collection of Trader Joes reusable shopping bags (although I haven't yet won that $25 gift certificate), but the big problem with them is forgetting to bring them with me when I go shopping. I think I actually only have them with me maybe 30% of the time. Otherwise they're at home or in the other car.

That's why I was so excited to get a sample of Waste-Less shopping bags. Waste-Less bags are large, lightweight, reusable shopping bags that fold into a very small size—small enough that a set of three fits into a nifty little carrying case that you can put in a purse or jacket pocket. Keep a set on you and you'll never have to worry about forgetting your reusable bags again. The design is pretty stylish, too, and more designs are apparently on the way. Of course, you don't have to use them just for groceries; they make nifty tote bags for beach gear, books, and school stuff as well.

Waste-Less BagsA set of three, with carrying case, retails for $9.99, or you can buy a single bag for $3.99. Buy them online at www.waste-less.com.

We're giving away a set of Waste-Less bags, courtesy of their manufacturer, to one lucky Marin Mommies reader. Send an email to contests@marinmommies.com with "Waste-Less" in the subject line by midnight PST on Tuesday, February 10. We'll choose a winner on Wednesday, February 11. Good luck!
