Bringing reusable bags to the supermarket is a powerful part of sustainable grocery shopping. At Wegmans, the grocery chain has been encouraging customers to hone their practice. Wegmans has been leading the push to eliminate single-use plastic waste on the grocery front, an eco-pioneer wielding a sort of reverse-incentive strategy. It offers paper bags, and (trust us) you want to avoid using them.

I have noticed that every time I need to buy a plastic bag, the price keeps going up. It started at 15p and now it's 40p each, which is ridiculous. It's so unfair that we have to pay so much for these bags.

Trader Joe's has released a new Canvas Micro Tote with a grocery bag inside a limited time. The reusable tiny bags are about four inches by three inches in size and big enough to carry your keys or spare change.

It's not even Halloween yet, but the holiday shopping season is already very much here. While you're making lists and hunting for deals, it's important to remember that gift shopping includes much more than planning. Unless you're buying everything online, you have to go to stores, pick out items, bring them home, wrap them, and then finally give them out when the time is right.

To fold reusable shopping bags efficiently, lay the bag out flat, fold it in thirds, then wrap the handles around the body to form a tidy rectangle.
