Patty Reed Designs Shopping Tote Review

I am sure you have all been asked the question, "Paper or Plastic?" while checking out at your local store. Whatever your answer may be....in my opinion there's a better alternative, a Patty Reed Designs Shopping Tote! 

We have all seen reusable shopping bags, and I'm sure you all had some of the same issues I have found with them. They can't hold much weight. How in the world do you keep them clean and sanitary? Not to mention, They aren't that appealing to the eyes.... or you just don't want to use a bag with one stores name on it at a different shopping center. 

That's where these adorable Shopping Totes come into play!!! Patty Reed Designs has stylish totes to meet anyone's personal taste. All of the Shopping Totes are really cute and fashionable!!! They have a sturdy bottom with extra pockets on the sides to keep your purchases separated. The best part, they are made from recycled water bottles and other plastic, which makes them easily sanitized. The Shopping Totes can also be recycled themselves, which makes them an excellent "green" choice!!!

The Tote I received to review, the Daisy Dot (Rainbow) Shopping Tote, is just beyond cute. It is very well made, can hold quite a bit more than other reusable bags I have used before. The handles on the tote aren't flimsy plastic either, they are strong webbing shoulder straps. It also has a snap closer for the top, so you don't have to worry about your purchases falling out.... that is a one of my favorite features! {That snap also keeps my kiddos from grabbing things out of the tote, which is great!}

Found keeping the Shopping Tote clean is quick and easy. All you need to do to clean and sanitize it is simply spray with a bleach solution of 10 parts water to 1 part bleach and dry with a paper towel. {You can also spray it with any commercial disinfectant spray.} Using the bleach solution protects you from any cross contamination, and keeps the Shopping Tote looking brand new.

I love my new Shopping Tote, and can't imagine how I survived without it before! No more plastic or paper bags for our house. Since, according to the Patty Reed Designs website, the average American uses over 355 plastic bags a year... I feel happy knowing that we are lowering our household waste and impact on the environment by using this Shopping Tote. =)
