Cait & Marty are big on taking sturdy cloth bags to the grocery store to schlep home our produce.

Ya, it’s that virtuous “green” thing - trying to reduce our carbon footprint and save on the number of plastic and paper grocery bags we use once and throw out. But we also like cloth bags because they’re more comfortable on our hands.

Our friend Ken turned us on to these bags she (yes, Ken is a she) rolls up into a tiny pouch and stuffs in a corner of her purse.

They weigh next to nothing, have reinforced seams, can hold up to 44 pounds and the handle is easier to carry than a heavy plastic bag, which can feel like it’s cutting off your circulation. Each bag is 19.5″ by 16.5″ and can hold weight equivalent to two supermarket plastic bags.

The Envirosax company has myriad designs - some that men might even deem suitable for schlepping their groceries home.
