You can read my original review of 1 Bag at a Time here.

A few months ago, I was sent reusable standard shopping bags from 1 Bag at a Time. We have been using them ever since they arrived, and I'm not even sure what I'd do without them!
Not only have we been using them for groceries, but if I need a bag to throw some stuff in, I grab one of these. My Brother-in-law, even used one to collect his Halloween candy in. They are so multi-functional!

Just a few weeks ago, 1 Bag at a Time offered to send me one of their Jute Bags to try out. I loved this bag before I even got to try it out! It is organic and 100% biodegradable. So, when you are done with it, you can plant it in your garden, and it will return to the Earth.

The Jute Bag does not have a bottom stiffener like the standard shopping bag, so it makes it a little hard to stand up to put things in it. But once you have a couple items in, that is no longer an issue! The Jute Bag was able to hold about two or three plastic grocery bags worth of items, and with the thick handle, it was still easy to carry. Not only is this a great bag for grocery shopping, but I think it would make a great bag to take shopping with you normally.

• Zero waste! It’s 100% organic and biodegradable!
• Soft cotton handles are easy on hands and slip over most shoulders.
• Light and strong--holds books and other heavy items easily.
• Natural color and styling are attractive and eco-chic.
• Our tag encourages consumers to plant it in their garden after long
and useful service.
• Available with our logo or customized with your design.

For only $19.99 you'll get a 5 pack of the Jute Bag. I think this is a great replacement for gift bags, while still be affordable. I know my family would appreciate getting a bag like this that they could use over and over, rather than a paper gift bag that will just rip. If you are a business owner, 1 Bag at a Time offers their bags in bulk. It's customizable, too!

There are so many other great reusable bag options at 1 Bag at a Time. Take a look here to see all of the bags they offer! I absolutely love the Handcrafted Designer Bag. While it is more expensive than the other bags, it is gorgeous, and would even make a great purse! The Eco-Wrap Bundle is a great deal. This set includes 10 decorative pull bows, and 10 eco-friendly reusable bags! All for just $10.99!
If you haven't caught on by now, I absolutely LOVE 1 Bag at a Time. With all of their options, you'll find bags that are just right for your family.

1 Bag at a Time is offering an amazing deal right now. With every order of ten or more standard shopping bags, you'll receive one free Jute Bag! This offer will expire on December 24, 2009 or while supplies last.

1 Bag at a Time has also generously offered to give one reader a Jute Bag of their own!
