Reusable Shopping Totes

Featured bags!  Called the "It bag of the future" by Teen Vogue, this stylish and ridiculously practical bag (sold in packages of 3 and 6) is one easy step in helping save the planet. Baggu ("bag" in Japanese) is machine washable, and folds up into its own pouch small enough to tuck into your handbag or pocket. Made of super-tough ripstop nylon in bright, fun colors, it's the re-usable bag that's eco-chic.  $38.00 and comes in neon, lime and kelly green.

Other eco-friendly bags for bringing with you to the store to avoid using either "paper or plastic" - all chosen by Budget Barbie because they hovered around the $20 price.  Only a couple were higher and none were more than $50.
