I was so excited to find In-Your-Pocket bags today! I can not believe how excited I was.
I’m always forgetting my green bags. Too often I don’t expect I’ll need them. Today I bought some books at Coles and of course declined the plastic but I didn’t have a bag and was left carrying my books through the mall. I was saying to my mom, that I wish I could carry my green bags in my purse. I take them to the grocery store but I don’t carry them around the mall while browsing and don’t plan to buy something. Minutes later I spotted pocket bags in the check out at Sobey’s. I was so excited, as I raved to my mom about how convenient these will be, lady’s behind me started grabbing some too!
Get one, it’s my new favorite thing! They hold a lot but are very light and you just fold them into a long strip, roll, snap a button and put it in your purse. When folded they are teeny tiny.
Compliments
In-Your-Pocket bag
I think they were a $1 or $2 at Sobey’s
Is it Green?
I don’t know about fabric, it may be nylon. Not sure if that is green approved.
Maybe it’s nylon made by DuPont 😦 I’m mad at them but that’s another story.

Hey, this is my absolute FAV go-really-small bag. Maybe because I have a thing for messenger bags.

This site also has super great reusable produce bags, if Lynne hasn’t implemented that already 🙂
Also the sling bag is made from recycled plastic!

I’m pretty sure Dupont didn’t have their dirty hands in making these bags.

I can’t stop laughing about the DuPont references! Unless they’ve coated your bags in a nonstick coating, you are probably free of DuPont this time. But they do coat some pants, and mattresses, actually, so it’s hard to say.

lol, it’s not the non-stick but the fact DuPont knowingly poisoned the water supply of the towns by their factories causing major birth defects and life altering/threatening health problems to residents. Once I found out they did this for 20 some years knowing the side effects and hiding it, I decided to ban them. Then I discovered they make so much stuff including nylon, it is very hard to know which products to avoid when your trying not to give bad people like that your money.
