Flip & Tumble Produce Bags
Like many, I'm a big fan of reusable bags (Timbuk2's Hidden bags are my favorites) but am quite guilty of bringing home handfuls of plastic bags after a trip to the grocery store. For the past few months, I've been eyeing Flip & Tumble's reusable Produce Bags.
Flip & Tumble's first big product was their shopping bags that roll into stretchy, sown-in pouches so you could easily keep one on you at all times. The Produce Bags, which come in sets of five, can be tucked into your reusable bag so you're ready for those last-minute trips to the grocery.
Nevertheless, at just $11 for a set of five, there's no reason to not stock up and start lowering your plastic use today. You can purchase the bags on flipandtumble.com or visit branchhome.com to stock up on these and other modern, ecofriendly goods. My Produce Bags (and large Floppy Basket by FUZ) should be arriving this week in the mail.

To avoid using take-out-food materials, I carry a meal-size tupperware container and camping spork (spoon/fork/knife). I tried out the idea for the first time today, coincidentally. A food cart vendor was surprised when I handed him my tupperware container for my order of chana masala. Hopefully, he'll start selling containers to regular customers.
That's a great idea--especially since I, probably like many other, put my leftovers into Tupperware when I get home anyway. Thanks for the suggestion.
