One easy way to start combating all the single-use plastic you see at grocery stores? Take only what you need—meaning skip those flimsy plastic baggies you tear off their rolls to hold your produce and bulk dry goods. These reusable bags (which can often work just as well for transporting things from the store as they can for stashing them at home) are so much better for the environment. Plus they help with that chic-French-woman-on-a-trip-to-the-farmers-market look we're all secretly trying to achieve.

By now, eco-friendly brands have created machine-washable reusable bags that came in every shape and size for nearly every purpose—groceries, travel, organization. Whether you prefer something durable, Instagrammable, or somewhere in between, we'll steer you in the right direction.

Color Coded

Flip & Tumble Reusable Produce Bags

Amazon’s Choice
 Reusable Produce Bags

If you're keen on staying as organized as possible, look no further than these color-coded bags. The tags on the side of the bags allow you to narrow down what belongs in each one (i.e. use the red for peppers and the green for broccoli). Amazon reviews confirm the size is generous (one bag can hold about seven large apples) and the bags hold up well even after going through the wash.
