I love reusable bags! As a matter of fact I like the style of them when carrying boxes over plastic bags any day! I’ve even trained my husband to use them, well at least when we are shopping together. He has yet to take one when he goes out alone, but I have hope that eventually he will. And I don’t care what store name is written on the bag, I’ll use them at any store.
Now I need to confess. I don’t use them all the time. I only bring them with me when I go to the grocery store or a drug store. I never bring them with me into a clothing store. I don’t know exactly why, but they just don’t seem like the type of bag to use in a clothing store. I know silly excuse.
I was asked if I wanted to try out some new reusable bags called Joey Totes. When I saw the shape of them I knew immediately that I could put these to very good use. Then I saw how compact they were and I wondered how I ever did with out them.
Did you know that over 380 billion plastic bags, sacks and wraps are consumed in the U.S. each year (according to the EPA)? That’s a LOT. Believe it or not but the use of one high-quality reusable bag can eliminate 1,000 plastics bags in its lifetime. That’s a pretty good reason to use reusable bags.
And then there’s the Joey Totes. These are different than the ones you get at the grocery store or drug store. These are more stylish and more durable and the best part is they come with a built in pouch so they fold into them selves and you can toss them right into your purse. I love that part. I actually put a couple in my glove box and one in my purse.
Product Information:
“Joey Totes were designed to make it simple for people to adopt the reusable bag habit. Each bag stows into a tiny storage pouch that is sewn directly into each Joey Tote, so the pouch is impossible to misplace. Better still, each pouch can also store at least one other tote (two for the “Big Joey”), so all of the bags are conveniently kept in one place that’s still small enough to easily fit into a purse or coat pocket.
Great for use at the mall or any store because they aren’t store-branded, Joey Totes can also be used at the beach or even the gym. Made from rip-stop nylon, each bag holds up to 40 pounds each and is machine washable (line dry).”
I’ve been using these bags for about a month now and I love them. I’ve taken them to the clothing store, I’ve used them to carry packages to the post office, we used them when we went to the beach one day and I plan on taking one with me on my trip to General Mills just in case I need an extra bag. The shape is perfect for so much and I love the design of the handle. I especially like that I can wear them over my shoulder like a purse. That’s very convenient when I’m out with both my girls when I need to hold their hands.

Neat. The Joey Totes look like a great idea! I think the thing I liked best (besides convenient pouch) is that they are washable too. This is a giveaway worth winning for sure. PS: Heard about you from Nichole’s Nickles
I like these Joey bags because they seem stronger than the typical canvas ones and are machine washable.

I love that “each bag is reinforced with double-folded handles that are tough enough to carry 40 lbs. and will last for years.” Awesome!

I love how compact they are! They look very durable and could probably hold a lot. I also think they’re more stylish than the typical reusable grocery bag.
I love that they fold up so compact and I can throw them in the washing machine as needed.

I like that Joey Totes are made from a material commonly used in outdoor apparel called ripstop Nylon and are tough. I recently had one of my bags rip while carrying groceries. The handle ripped off and then ripped down the side.

I like that they are washable
I have seen those tote bags on a few website now and I just think they are awesome. I do not like regular plastic bags and always tried to have an alternative. However, canvas bags or other are either not quite attractive,too small, not durable enough,etc…and I often forget them because they never quite fit anywhere to carry them. So those Joey’s tote bags seem like the answer to my needs! They are superbly designed and I really like the fact I can fold them in their pouch and carry them in my purse easily!!Super!
I love how durable they are and can carry up to 40 lbs.

I love the compact look, but really love the baby in the bag! When my son was younger, her once climbed into my Disneyland tote and my friends understood why I carried such a huge bag!
Karen, I love the softness of the bags! The other great thing I love is the large sling type handle making it comfortable to hold.

I like that they’re durable. Several of our reusable bags are starting to split at the seams.
I really like that they can be stored in one another and will take up next to no room in the back of my Mom Mobile

I like that their reversible and that Joey Totes will replace thousands of disposable bags each year and are machine washable, making them more practical than $.99 bags or canvas bags
