1. The ChicoBag
Price: $5.99-$12.99
A ChicoBag is the compact reusable tote you can fit in your pocket. One of the main reasons shoppers don’t opt to use their reusable totes at the checkout counter is the fact that they are forgotten at home! ChicoBags eliminate this problem and allows you to always have them on hand.

You can get a compact cross body tote (9.99) or opt for the shoulder bag style (5.99 and 12.99).

It may not seem like much until you ask yourself: “When was that last time I cleaned my water bottle?” If you don’t have a Bottle Brush, the answer is probably never.
