Super Sleek, Not Super Geek
April 22nd, 2008In theory, we should like grocery shopping - all those choices, pretty produce, guilty pleasure gossip mags, in one place. Yet, between the too many people, bothersome easy listening that is being piped in, and the disturbing amount of plastic being needlessly used up and discarded…we get a little depressed.

Now, maybe we can’t stop them from playing Kenny G and we can’t make everyone disappear when we enter the store, but we can start a little revolution of our own against all the plastic. Reusable grocery bags aren’t anything new; canvas totes and various polyester bags have been a around for awhile, giving people a earth-friendly choice instead of those paper thin plastic bags offered for free at check out.
But what we’ve often wondered is how come these bags haven’t been perfected? The canvas totes don’t hold much and tend to be a little too granola for our tastes, and the other poly bags just don’t seem to be shaped right to hold the optimum amount of groceries. The shape is too slack or the handles are too short – inevitably there is a shortcoming to all.
Well, that is until we discovered RuMe. With their super-cute name that stands for Reuse Me to their even more adorable patterns that run the gamut from Hamptons Chic to Ultra-Modern Classics, RuMe had us at first sight. Yet, as we mentioned we wanted the perfect bag, aesthetically pleasing and the height of utility. Utility is where RuMe really got us hooked, big enough to hold a five gallon container of water, but structured enough to hold just a few items and not crumple up in the back seat, these bags are tops!!
So make some room for RuMe in your purse, your car, a kitchen drawer, or anywhere else you need help carrying anything in a jiff!
About RuMe Bags:
Affordable, stylish RuMe Bags are designed for daily use – and ReUse – in any situation:
- Grocery or mall shopping; as a gym, sports, diaper or beach bag; for après ski, picnics or overnighters; for laundry, farmer’s markets, work or as ReUseable gift bags.
- The comfortable handle is sized to carry over any shoulder – male or female – even while wearing a bulky winter coat!
RuMe Bags are designed and packaged following a no-waste philosophy – there’s no superfluous pouch or packaging. Up to three RuMe Bags can be rolled and tied together for simple, compact carrying and storage. RuMe Bags are small enough to fit in a purse or glove compartment – the patent pending enclosure system enables three bags to roll up to about the size of your cup of coffee.
RuMe Bags are made from 180 denier polyester, with water-resistant coating; the innovative box stitch design offers a structured environment for loading goods, while maintaining a flexible space for over-sized, bulky items.
By incorporating RuMe Bags into our everyday lives, we can do our part in reducing the estimated:
• 17 billion gallons of oil used annually to produce plastic bags
• 100 billion plastic bags Americans throw away after a single use
• And save more than a million birds and 100,000 marine mammals and sea turtles that die every year from eating or getting entangled in plastic

Michele -
RuMe Bags are $28.50 for a set of 3 or $54.50 for a set of 6 (the set of 6 includes 3 pattern and 3 solid) and yes - in honor of April 22, Earth Day, we are offering 22% off this set of bags for 24 hours…or until 11:59am CST 4/23
Happy Shopping!!

The price you list in the combo box does not reflect a 22% savings off the price of $54.50. It should be $42.51, but instead it reads $48.23. I would buy 6 at the corrected price.

Hey Delight - thanks for finding cool reusable bags for guys. I received my set on Saturday and I couldn’t be happier. Keep looking out for us eco-minded guys!

I love these bags! I ordered them on earth day when they were listed as the daily delight at a discounted price. I want to order more sets to give as gifts and was wondering if you would be listing them on today’s delight again. I got such a great deal that I am patiently waiting for them to pop up again at that same great rate so that I can stock up. I ordered two sets and suggest anyone else do the same. They are perfect and very compact. I love them!

You just made my Father’s Day shopping very easy. Got some for my Dad, Father-In-Law and my Grandad who loves going to the Farmer’s Market.
Its nice to see resuable bags that guys would want to carry.

I’ve been trying to decide which bag set to buy and ended up getting both this design and the brighter patterned one. The beauty of this pattern is the my husband will gladly take it to the store (he was a little squeamish about the more girly styles) and they don’t show any dirt. I now want to buy more sets as gifts.

You need to proof your copy.

I love the bags but I am having a tough time getting them to fold as tightly as they came in the mail. Any suggestions?

hey guys -
great job on spotting these bags - you made a male convert!

I’ve bought the wife a few presents on Delight, and this time I got the RuMes for myself. Love the bags.
