Joie did a review on BlueAvocado's reusable bags back in February, and she also got us a giveaway sponsorsed by BlueAvocado. Thanks Joie, and thanks BlueAvocado!
BlueAvocado offers kits of reusable shopping bags that are far from boring, and hard to forgot, considering they fold up into small pouches. No more excuses for forgetting! The full kit is said to replace 16 plastic bags... sounds like it's definitely enough for a family's shopping trip!
One lucky Focus Organic winner is going to receive a Starter Kit in blue from BlueAvocado ($29.99 value). The Starter Kit includes one pak (a carry-all bag), one pod (a stuff n' go bag), and one veg (a produce bag). These three bags hold a total of 50 pounds of groceries and replaces 8 plastic bags.
Giveaway Details
- Entrants must live in the U.S.
- Contest will run from today, April 22nd, until 11 PM Central time (Midnight EST) on, Saturday May 9th
- Winner will be chosen randomly, announced, and contacted on Sunday, May 10th

- Leave a separate comment for each entry.
- Visit BlueAvocado and tell me how many plastic bags are pledged off the street so far (click the billion bag pledge image at the bottom of the page to find out, and no cheating! the number may have changed since the last comment!) (Required)
