Shoppers beware, there’s another accessory to add to our list but this necessity has an environmental advantage. Stores are following an international custom by no longer providing bags at checkout. Either bring your own or pay a dollar for the market’s heavily illustrated tote. There’s also the method I saw a perplexed shopper attempt, who clearly hasn’t gone to the market since Miley and Liam broke up (the first time). He left the store carrying an armful of groceries that included a cantaloupe and pie. Taking your own bag is a matter of adjusting to a routine. Make it a lifelong habit by investing in a sturdy market basket or reusable bag, which adds style to scanned items. Another tip: Leave in your car for future shopping trips.
Market baskets and sustainable totes made with sturdy waterproof materials are our favorites. So chic, use them in lieu of your everyday bag for a personal take on eco-style. Such a trend will add a humbler take on fashion that everyone from naturalists to stylists will love.
