We have been using reusable grocery bags from Wegmans (our favorite local grocery store) for the past year and they are great for groceries BUT they are big to store in the car so I keep them in the kitchen (which has led to me forgetting to bring them a couple of times). The Wegmans bags are also ugly and bulky so I would never take them into a clothing store or any place other than grocery shopping. So my guilt was less because I was not getting “paper or plastic” anymore buying food but I still felt wasteful going into the pharmacy, the mall or Target and coming home with plastic bags. Recently I had enough so I looked online and found the Olive Smart Sacks!!! Of all the reusable bag options I honestly don’t think there is a better one to be found.

The people at Olive Smart Sacks were so nice to send me one to review and 10% off for our readers (code found below). Just from their website I knew I’d love the bags before they even arrived! The “Smart Sack” is a small draw string bag that will fit in your car cup holder and it holds SIX shopping bags inside. I love that it is so compact and I can just grab the whole sack to bring in a store or just throw 1-2 in my pocket for a quick errand. The sacks are the perfect size and can really hold heavy items. I put them to the test with back to school shopping at Staples and I was able to fit the majority of my groceries in the 6 bags (actually I have a special cooler bag for perishables so between that and the 6 bags all of my groceries fit). If you are normally a “plastic” person at the store these bags basically function the same BUT they won’t break and are good for the environment. Click here to see some more reasons to make the switch away from plastic (like over 1 MILLION plastic bags are used worldwide EVERY MINUTE)! Besides being convenient and easy to use, you get 6 fun colors (I have the reef colors above and they look even nicer in person) and they’re attractive (you won’t feel awkward bringing them into your favorite stores). Of all the wonderful products that we have reviewed I really hope that I can help spread the word about these great bags because using them is such an easy way to help the environment and they make switching to reusable bags painless and fashionable!

If you want a bag that will fit over your shoulder they also make an Olive Smart Half Sack which comes in a set of 3 bags.
