Tip #4: Purchase Multi-Use Bags: True, wouldn’t it be lovely to buy a load of different bags for every occasion and not have to worry about how much they cost or how impractical they might be?  Well..in this day and age, I don’t know about you, but I certainly can’t do that.  That’s why I suggest buying bags that you can use for more than one type of occasion.  I’m sure many of you already do this, but I just want to emphasize the point.

Here are all the ways I use my Large Longchamp Le Pliage tote (and the few Baggu’s I always store inside if I run out of space)

• So..when I stroll out from the office around the corner to Safeway I can put groceries both in the Le Pliage and in the reuseable grocery bags inside.
• If I need to carry an extra pair of clothes/shoes I can fit them in there
• Can be used as a lunch bag and book bag and laptop bag (I’ve sewn a soft and slightly cushy fabric sleeve for the laptop to keep it safe and secure though)
• Perfect carry-on bag to double up with a backpack or roll-on.

So, I hope you take the suggestion and do the same. Check out some other bags that are perfect mulit-use bags: Longchamp Le Pliage, Chinese Laundry Embroidered Tote, LeSportsac Travel Tote, Big Buddha Postman,

In some cities there’s this little thing that’s going on where people are starting to get charged for bagging their groceries in plastic bags.  They’ve been doing this for years in Europe and it seems to have caught on in the States now.

So, to help you help the environment and save a few bucks try out my favorite eco-friendly bag,  the BAGGU Reusable Shopping Tote (3 pack).  I love that these bags safely hold a ridiculous amount of groceries AND and can be folded-up in a neat little square and to be stored in my bag after. This means I’m less likely to forget to bring them to the market when I buy groceries like I do with the less convenient signature green Whole Foods reusable grocery totes. Now I just keep a folded up resuable tote in my bag at all times. Don’t forget you can use these bags pretty much for anything and anywhere so don’t just limit their functionality to the supermarket. Plus, with more than 30 colors/patterns available, there’s no doubt you’ll find at least a few colors you’ll have to have of the BAGGU Reusable Tote.
