Pet peeves of the eco-conscious grocery shopper:

1. Not being able to remember where you left your reusable shopping bags.

2. Forgetting to bring your shopping bags to the market.

3. Not having enough bags to hold all of your groceries, thereby attempting to juggle a head of lettuce and a carton of eggs while making your way out.

Solution:

Blue Avocado grocery kits!

If you have multiple reusable bags scattered throughout your home, stuffed in a drawer, buried in the trunk of your car, or simply lost, Blue Avocado grocery kits are a helpful way to keep bags organized. The kits are self-contained bag packs ideal for holding anything from fresh berries from the farmer’s market to a chilled container of milk. Each kit folds up into a pleasingly compact shape that helps your bags stay conveniently organized and reduce clutter -plus you can toss the packet into your car or purse so you won’t forget it on your next shopping trip.

Each kit is filled with different types of bags for your various shopping needs. The Full Kit ($69.99) is designed for larger families with extensive shopping needs, and contains 2 mesh produce bags, a couple of sturdy carryall totes, a lightweight bag that folds up into a small pod shape, and an insulated bag for cold or hot items. To top it all off, the kit includes a removable comfort strap.

As you already know, reducing use of disposable plastic bags helps minimize your carbon footprint by decreasing plastic production, consumption and waste. Plus, Blue Avocado products are all made with at least 50% recycled materials to help close the loop. Sometimes, what’s on the outside helps make a difference as much as what’s on the inside!
