Hi everyone! I didn't see this swap yet - so hopefully I didn't take someone's swap - not my intention, so I thought I'd start one...

Do you like to collect the reusable grocery/shopping bags you often see at stores now that promote the use of recyclable bags instead of plastic bags? Some of these bags are made of nylon, cotton, or even recycled plastic/plastic bottles, and usually have the store's logo on them or even fancy patterns :) and are inexpensive - usually starting at .99 and then some... so why not share some from your favorite stores or stores your partner may not have in their region (i.e. ralph's doesn't exist in my area, and publix i haven't seen outside of the southeast) or some bags you think are very unique!

For this swap, you will send 2 partners 2 different NEW/unused bags each. Try to make it interesting :) mix it up, don't send 2 of the same bags to the same person...

4.5 rating and above, newbies with a FILLED profile are welcome, but please, no recent no sends... we don't likes to be flaked ;)

Thanks for looking and happy swapping!

I am SO into these reusable bags. I have 3 in my car that I use religiously.

I live in Florida so I already have the Books-A-Million and Target bags. Feel free to send me ANY other bags and I'll be scouting around for some unusual or local bags. :)

me too - i love these bags~ very convenient to have. i have some from publix and petco :)

I would be super excited to get a cloth bag from your local CO-OP and Farmer's Market. If that doesn't work so many places sell reusable bags. I would prefer something local to your area rather than a chain store. Some hints...local conservation organizations, nature centers, health food stores, music festivals, arts organizations or galleries, maybe even a local restaurant.

Oh, I forgot local bookstores or libraries. These are very cool too!

Thanks for including newbies because I just found out about swap-bot, signed up today and I love my reusable bags! My favorite are the canvas bags from Trader Joes. I also have a great bag I got at a co-op in brooklyn that stuffs into a small draw-string pocket so I can keep it in my purse for unplanned shopping trips where I'm caught without other reusable bags.

im searching thru town for re useable bags but 1 of mine might be from a chain store :O butttt i plan on sprucing it up a little so its not soo entirely chain storish :P haha

I love my bags too! I have some from Vons, Fresh and Easy, Henry's, Trader Joe and Target. I keep a nice stash in my car so I am always prepared.

Cool!! I've joined 2 previous reuseable bag swaps & received bags from Wal Mart & Target. Any other bags would be great! We have some nice ones from Singapore too :) I'm really looking forward to this swap!

I tend not to like the ones with the store name printed right across them, I prefer ones with patterns and such on them. I think most stores are doing that now.

sweetz15767 11/15/2008 #

if my partner could avoid sending me walmart ones thatd be great :P ive got 7 of those unfortuneately because when i bought them thats all that was around haha
