JP Monkey
Meghan Says:
JP What?! JP Monkey is a woman owned Santa Barbara company that makes reusable shopping bags out of remnant upholstery fabric. And they’re FABULOUS.
I saw an article about them recently in the Santa Barbara paper, and I immediately fell in love. I mean, how could you not? They’re GORGEOUS, they’re good for the environment, and they’re made out of upholstery fabric, so they’re heavy duty. No more broken bag handles, or grocery items falling through the bottom of the bag. You can’t beat that.
So, I emailed the company and they agreed to send me a bag…which I immediately put to use when I ran my errands yesterday. And let me tell you, I’ve never enjoyed handing a bag over the checker as much as I did yesterday! I was pleasantly surprised with how much it held. After my trip to Target, it was packed to the brim with all of my loot. These bags really do hold more than your typical grocery bag, and the stiff insert at the bottom makes them completely reliable.
The *only* downside I see is the cost. At $25 bucks a pop, they’re a bit pricey. Especially given that you’ll most definitely want more than one. But, they offer a 15% discount if you order 4 or more, which helps. The design, quality and practicality of them makes them WORTH every penny of the $25, so it’s not as though you’re paying too much.
JP Monkey reusable shopping bags get a Rating: 



. You won’t be disappointed, and if you’re in need of a gift for your mom or a girlfriend, this is a GREAT option. I recommend taking advantage of the 15% discount, buy a few different designs and keep them tucked away for gifts. You’ll be incredibly popular!
