Name: Allyson
My Bag Story: Hi y’all! I take my BYOB bags with me to the local grocery store every time I shop. They are sturdy and can hold even my heavier items like soup cans and juice. It’s easy for me to load the bags and carry them to my car, where they sit upright in my trunk. I use them all the time – even when I need just a few things from the store – because I know that I am not wasting a plastic bag. I love my bags they’re great!
Name: Brenda My Bag Story: I used to hate getting home from the store and unloading my groceries. They would always shift in the car trunk and I would have a hard time getting them out of the plastic bags. But now that I have my BYOB bags, I enjoy unloading groceries much more. The bags sit flat on my countertop making it easier for me to reach in and get the items out. It makes a tedious task more useful and enjoyable – such a good idea!
Name: Jessica My Bag Story: Sometimes I use my BYOB bag instead of a purse. The bag is large enough to fit all of my stuff and I have one in each colour so I can match my outfit. I often take it with me to the mall while I look around, and when I buy things I tell the cashier that a plastic bag is not needed. People think that the bags are both useful and trendy. I think more should follow my lead and start bringing their own bags – they’re fun and good for the environment!
Name: Tara My Bag Story: I find that my bags are great when I use the self checkout machine at grocery stores. I can pack much more into the BYOB bags than plastic bags and they aren’t very heavy either, making it easier for me to load and carry them. I definitely feel as though I am starting a trend because people notice while watching me that it’s so simple and easy. Anyone can do it! BYOB bags are also great for my busy, hectic schedule because I can shop for groceries my own way. No lines, no plastic bags, no problem! Thanks BYOB!
