These shopping totes are fun to shop for (and with) – plus they’re totes made for mothers like us and Mother Earth.
Reusable Mesh Produce Bags
The plastic ones are hard to pull off the roll and rip easily, so at $1.95 for 10, we’re grateful for these mesh reusable bags (that won’t ever spill the beans).

Flip & Tumble Reusable Bags
Re-usable shopping bags only work if you remember them, right? The 24-7 rolls up like a ball of socks (which is easy for us mamas), so we can stuff it in a bag or pocket. Plus, the Loopt will fit on the plastic bag racks at the supermarket.

Baggu
They’re machine washable, made of 100% rip-stop nylon, and available in a rainbow of colours and patterns – plus, they hold the contents of 2-3 plastic grocery bags and fold into a small square pouch (there’s a Baby Baggu size available for lunches or a larger size for laundry or bigger items!).

The Brave Brown Bag
We love our MAXI Brave Brown Bag because it can be carried by hand or over the shoulder, is waterproof in a classic design that’s earned “personality” with wear, and is made in Canada (but above all else, we love it because its flat bottom lets us put it down sometimes).

Reisenthel Mini Maxi Travelbag
This generously sized bag folds into a smaller bag and holds large items such as bed pillows, or a toaster, or gorgeous new boots and a cute new coat that we accidentally found on sale…
