It’s the pits. You pull into the parking lot, load the kids up in the cart, and realize you forgot your reusable bags. Who can blame you: they’re bulky, unruly and never go with your just-stepped-out-of-the-frozen-food-aisle look.
The Austin Moms who created BlueAvocado conceptualized the gro-pak: a collapsible, reusable grocery bag system that happens to be totally cute and compact. Depending on what kind of shopper you are (1. I knock it out in just one trip per week, or 2. I’m there every day. Why can’t I plan my meals?), you can select the perfect pak for your shopping style.
These earth mamas know their stuff. Each bag is labeled with its carbon footprint, and by carrying the BlueAvocado system, an average shopper can replace up to 1000 grocery bags each year.
Your green efforts are certain to be fruitful. Or veggieful?
Also available at Whole Foods, select HEB stores and Breed and Co.
