Preparation
When visiting the grocery store or local market, there are a couple of questions that probably come to mind: “What do I want to buy?” and “How am I going to get this all home?” Keeping reusable grocery bags in your purse, backpack or stashed in your car can help you with the latter (and prevent waste). The material of the bag itself plays a big role in the one you’ll want to use. For heavy-duty lifts, like your big weekly shop, you’ll want an option that has enough space and can preserve your food on your journey back home. For a quick trip—say you need fresh flowers or a quart of milk—there are smaller reusable bags that you can keep on hand. Read on for our top picks for the best reusable totes for every kind of trip to the grocery store.
