Here’s the truth, I have a big family (7 of us) and my weekdays are spent with many hours in the grocery store buying food for our crew. Each time I get to the checkout line I almost shutter, did I bring along my cloth shopping bags? Will I have to use their plastic ones to get all this stuff home? I’m not sure about your stores, but here where I live the grocery stores are stocking plastic bags that are way too thin, they rip with barely anything in them. It’s frustrating. Then there are the stores that charge you for individual bags, I honestly detest this practice. It makes me not want to shop in their stores. I like the idea of the traditional “green” bags, but their configurations don’t work for my shopping life and so I rarely remember to bring them along. Then 4R Planet sent me a full set of their product line and suddenly I’m converted to a new and savvi shopping experience.

The great looking and functional solution to my grocery shopping needs is from a Canadian company called 4R Planet. Now really, how excited can a girl get about grocery bags? Well I’m a real believer now, as I’ve been using the 4R Planet bags for several months. They are not only a great environmental choice, but they are actually cute and stylish. I have a hard time forgetting THESE at home!

You need not use these Savvi bags only for groceries, they have tremendous functionality. For instance the Beverage could hold six bottles, six magazines, 3 pair of shoes, hair care products, sippy cups, action-?gures, craft items and more.

Convenient
and don’t forget lovely to look at
