Updated: Custom Grocery Tote for $1

My new grocery bag! It has my design on both sides.

Here's the Customized Grocery Tote I bought from York Photo for just $1 (plus S&H)! It was a great deal that has so many benefits:

• Using one cloth reusable bag can save up to 6 plastic bags a week....or 24 bags a month....or 288 bags a year....or 22,176 bags in a lifetime![1]
• Hang it on your cart and it'll serve as FREE advertising for YOUR business! (instead of advertising the place you purchased your bag)
• It will be easier to remember to bring it shopping since you customized it.
• Save some money grocery shopping (if your grocery store offers an incentive for bringing your own bag)
• Avoid bag tax (in some areas where it applies)

If you own a small business, I highly recommend taking advantage of this offer but it looks as if it has expired now. I would love to see a friend of mine advertise her shopping business with one of these bags while she's bargain shopping in store aisles! You could use this bag as a gift bag, eliminating the need to throw the gift bag away once it has served its purpose holding a gift. This bag makes a quick overnight bag, with enough room to hold a change of clothes and 1 pair of shoes.


When the bag arrived, the material was a little thinner than I had expected. The logo I uploaded to use on the bag was approximately 1200 x 800 and it was printed beautifully on the bag! I wouldn't trust putting any heavier grocery items in this bag. The bag feels like it will be perfect for those lighter grocery items: cereals, fruits, snacks, and vegetables. Matter of fact, this bag would be perfect to bring samples, catalogs, and business information along with me to the store. While I'm shopping, I plan to sit this baby up in the cart or wear it on my shoulder so it can be seen easily.

 I found this deal through a "Cash Back" offer from InboxDollars! So... I bought this grocery bag for $1 (plus S&H) and received $3 back towards a check from InboxDollars. My Grand Total: $1.99
