When Fashion Meets Grocery Shopping

I’m going to take a few lessons from Simon Cowell. I’m going to be completely, utterly honest and upfront. We’ll deal with the raw emotions later but I think sometimes it’s important to get things out in the open.

I’m here to talk about a bag. And by the time you finish reading, you’re going to want one too. I present you with Exhibit A:

Okay. Your interest is piqued. I’ve hooked you. When I said “bag,” did I mean handbag? As in really cute and stylish purse?

No I did not.

I meant “bag” as in reusable grocery bag. But to call it that just sounds so belittling. Almost demeaning. It’s so much more than that.

I’ve just shown you SnapSac.

So why exactly am I taking the time to write about a reusable grocery bag?

One word: CELEBRITIES.

I checked out SnapSac thoroughly before I thought about whether or not it was a worthwhile product to bring to the blogging masses. Here’s what I loved:

It’s kinda cute. I mean, look at the colors and polka dots!

It’s small or big or small again. And yes, it’s really easy to fold back up.

It’s strong, sturdy, and can hold a lot of stuff.

It helps reduce your carbon footprint (reusable bags and all allow you to say no to disposable plastic bags)

But what really got me? Celebrity sightings with the SnapSac. I’m always trying to keep up with the A-listers. Too bad the celebrities sighted were people I’d never heard of BUT STILL…

Now it’s your turn to look like a celebrity. I’m giving away one of these lovely SnapSacs and you know you want one.

Here’s what I need from you.

Take a look at my slideshow.

Note all the marvelous things I’m able to do with my bag.

Watch how easily (mostly) I folded it back up.

 

And THEN…

Leave me a comment telling me what unusual object I tried to place in the bag and tell me what YOU would most like to carry in YOUR bag.

Then you’ll be entered to win a SnapSac of your very own. You might even make the A list. Make sure you enter by Tuesday, October 25th at 9pm ET and I’ll announce the winner the next day.

If I’ve already convinced you and you’re in love, go buy some SnapSacs yourself. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised at their pricing and free shipping until January 10th.

If you’re feeling particularly social, show them some love on Facebook and follow them on Twitter (@SnapSac).
