My Grocery Shopping Must Have

I have to post about one of my favorite things that I use every time I go grocery shopping. Reusable bags! But not just any old reusable bags will do. I've tried several different brands and types and for me the best have been these VERY large ones found at IKEA stores. Not only do they fit a ridiculous amount of groceries inside (each bag fits about 2 1/2 plastic grocery bags worth of food), but they are sturdy enough for me to haul all those groceries along with my purse, coupon binder and a tired toddler up several flights of stairs to my apartment every week on my grocery trips. (It's so much easier to load all of my stuff into two of these bags then try and juggle all of it and 4-5 thin plastic grocery bags- I've had a few grocery casualties from those things splitting open.)

They are also very stylish! If I remember correctly they are only $1.99. If you are lucky enough to have an IKEA close by I highly recommend investing in a few of these bags because they are amazing!
