Uses for Purchased and Giveaway Tote Bags

Tote bags can be very useful, but having too many takes up space. Find new uses for purchased and giveaway tote bags.

Tote bags are given away at trade shows, from stores, promotional events and also can be purchased from department stores and high-end boutiques. Tote bags can be used for travel, trips to the

beach, for text books, for storage and are also environmentally friendly. Extra tote bags can also be shared with family and friends so that they can enjoy the many uses.

Tote Bags are Environmentally Friendly

In this day of environmental awareness, public service announcements fill the media encouraging shoppers to refrain from taking their purchases in plastic and paper bags. Having a few strong and large tote bags that can hold the heavier groceries like a 1-gallon bottle of milk or a ten-pound bag of rice is very helpful. Tote bags can also be used when shopping at the mall for clothing and shoes. Most tote bags, although some are promotional giveaways, can be easily cleaned and washed making them last longer and friendlier for the environment.

Tote Bags are Great for Carrying Textbooks

Keeping textbooks in a tote bag reduces the chance of the books being lost or misplaced. This works especially for persons who are taking part-time college courses while working full-time. Of course, if there are several heavy text books, it is more advisable to purchase a backpack with comfort straps and back support.

Take a Tote Bag to the Beach

Giveaway tote bags in most cases have enough holding space to place the beach towel, change of clothing, sunscreen, water, snacks and other items that are needed for a trip to the beach.

Storage in Tote Bags

Some tote bags are large enough to hold laptops or children's puzzles that have cardboard bases. Rather than have the puzzle pieces lost in the house, the puzzles can easily fit in a zippered tote bag safe for future use. Other children's toys, small electronic equipment and other household supplies can be stored in a tote bag for future use so that pieces will not be misplaced.

Travel with a Tote Bag

Tote bags work for land, sea and air travel because the bags can be packed lightly while holding necessities such as deodorant, change of clothing, slippers and other items.

Extra Tote Bags Can be Shared with a Friend

Extra tote bags can be shared with a family member or a friend so that they can enjoy the benefits. Extra bags can also be donated to a thrift store. Tote bags come in different styles and colors and can be obtained at no cost or can be purchased. Use the bags for travel, storage, textbooks and groceries.

Tote bags are especially useful because the bags are environmentally friendly and most can be cleaned or washed for constant reuse.
