According to the website, Breezy Bags’ owners created Breezy Bags after seeing plastic shopping bags in trees and wanting to do something about it. One of the owners states how she “bought a reusable shopping bag at every store I went to. I felt I was doing my part and being Earth-friendly. However, those big, bulky bags, if they ever made it back out to my car, were usually not with me when I was shopping. They were either in the car or at home in the closet. Plastic shopping bags were still making it into my home. What I needed were reusable shopping bags that were always with me. So, I bought some ripstop nylon fabric and made 2 sets of 5 bags. I made a pouch to hold them that would fit in the cupholder of Mike’s truck. Mine were in my purse. We used them for everything and stopped the plastic bag invasion of our home.” I received a pouch of 5 blue Breezy Bags (ARV $16.99 or set of two for $30.00; various colors), and I was immediately impressed with how the bags folded up so thin and neatly. The entire pouch could fit in my purse, or you can take one of the bags out and stick it in your pocket! Since you get 5 bags at such a great price, you can keep one in your car, one in the office, one in your diaper bag, one in your purse, and even one in your wallet (yes, it’s that thin!).
At first glance, you may think one of the Breezy Bags is a plain-colored plastic shopping bag, but it’s a lot sturdier. The bag measures 19”x21” and can carry up to 15 pounds. Because the bags are a nice, solid color, and don’t have any fancy or floral designs, DH prefers using the Breezy Bags. He had to run out to get some drinks for a few guests that came over, and he picked up two 2-liter bottles of soda, which the Breezy Bag had no problems holding.
Another great thing about Breezy Bags—they come with a 1 year limited warranty against defects of material or workmanship, and if you are unhappy with your Breezy Bags for any reason at all, you can contact them within 30 days of your purchase for a full refund.
Shop: You can buy Breezy Bags on their website at breezybags.com.
Win: Breezy Bags is generously sponsoring a giveaway so one lucky winner will win a pouch of 5 bags, choice of color.

3. I prefer Violet.

I would buy them because they don't have a logo and I like that. I also like that they can fit anywhere, so I wouldn't forget them at home. The only reason I wouldn't buy them is because I'm on a strict budget (only buying what I need, not what I want). The color I like is blue.

1. I'd like to not have 50 million left over grocery bags laying around in cabinets because I always tend to save them for some reason anyway.
2. I don't really have a reason, I would buy these regardless to be honest. I don't have a good reason not to!
3. Violet!
I too forget to take in reusable bags but these seem like they are easier to have with you.
The only thing I can think of is price.
I like the olive green.
slrdowney at hotmail dot com
I like them because they are not bulky like most bags.
I already have a lot of reusable bags and do not like to buy things I do not need.
I like the violet ones.
Thanks.

2)They're ugly;

I would buy the bags because they are environmentally friendly. The only drawback to buying them for me is remembering to bring them when I go shopping. If I bought them, I would choose the Cherry Red. Good luck to everyone!!!

Help the environment, but the price is bit too pricey. Blue is a nice color.
1) I would use the breezy bag bacause they are compact and I would be sure to use them I would keep them in my purse. And they have a hook so I wouldn't have to fish around my big bag looing for them when I need them.
2) There is no reason why I wouldn't use them, it is good for the environment.
3)I like the blue.

ranmel at televar dot com
1)I would buy Breezy Bags because I am tired of all the plastic bag clutter that I have accumulated!
2)I might not want to buy because I'm afraid I'd forget to use them!
3)I'd choose the Cherry Red.
Thanks for the contest!
Biggest reason to use them: They are reusable. I might not use them because we already reuse our stores plastic bags (as much as possible) I like the blue ones.
1) The biggest reason I would buy Breezy Bags is because of the small spaces they can be put in like a jeans pocket, jacket pocket or purse.
2) The reason I may not buy them is due to the thought of spending extra money right now. We have done some major cutting back in our home for '09.
3) If I won I would love the Violet ones.

1) WHy I'd buy: We ALWAYS use reusable bags, they're much better for the environment. Our reusable bags can be cheap, so handles rip or there's holes in the bottom. When I'm carrying eggs or milk I don't need the worry of the bottom ripping out.
2) Why I wouldn't buy: We have plenty of reusable bags right now. But, like I said, More is always better due to wear and tear.
3) I would love the violet colour!
Thank you for offering this giveaway! eyeslikesugar [at] gmail [dot] com
I'd buy these bags because they seem to take up so little room in your purse.
The only reason I could see not buying them is that they're shiny, and I'm not keen on shiny things! But that is a shallow reason (I was trying to come up with something!).
I'd love the Olive Green ones.

yay! Thanks!
1. The main reason I would like to have them is their ability to be stored in a very small place, ie my purse.
2. The main reason I wouldn't buy them--I am cheap and already have several reuseable bags.
3. I would pick blue if I won them.

I would buy them as they are affordable and I need at least five.
I would not buy them as I would be afraid I would forget to use them and they would collect dust.
If I win I would like the Olive Green.

I love the idea that they are so small. I am very anti-plastic. I carry other bags in the car and do use them, but there are times that the small ones would work well.
The only reason not to buy them is that they are a little too expensive for me.
I would LOVE the purple!!!
1. I would buy them because they are so small they could be carried in convenient places like a purse or jacket pocket.
2. I might not buy them due to the cost and the fact that my husband does most of the grocery shopping and we keep two canvas bags in the car for him to use.
3. Since I would want my husband to use them also, I would choose olive green (personally I love the colors and would love to have a mixture)
1. They are smaller and more wasy to take with you than the classic reusable bags
2. They look kind of flimsy
3. Violet
jamielz@verizon.net
1. I love that they're reusble and the colors are so gutsy!
2. There is not reason I wouldn't love to buy them!
3. Blue because we have UCLA students here!
1. I have embraced reusable bags, especially when at the grocery store, and would not mind additional bags.
2. I probably wouldn't buy them because they look smaller than the bags I currently have. I love being able to sling the bigger bags over my shoulder when lugging groceries from the car.
3. I like the violet colored bags.
1. I like that they're eco-friendly.
2. Although I do already have a lot of reusable bags.
3. I like the blue.
I would want the Breezy Bag because it would cut down on the plastic bags I do have and they are compact, so they could always be in my purse ready at a moments notice!
I am not sure why I wouldn't want to get them - probably because I don't have the money...which seems to be an on going struggle!
I like the red! It's pretty!
1. They are better for the environment.
2. I have a lot of totes that I've gotten for free or for $0.99.
3. Violet
Jennifer, jennem22 at yahoo dot com
1) I like that they fold up so small.
2) Probably due to cost, between the cost of the bags themselves and shipping.
3) Blue
1- I like the idea of doing something "green"
2-But cost is a problem when store bags are free
3-I love the purple/violet ones!
jill.watkins@gmail.com
1. I'd buy Breezy Bags because I want to keep a fold up shopping bag in my purse for emergencies/when I forget my other bags.
2. That they only come in sets of 5 which would take up too much room in my small purse. I usually need one, not five.
3. cherry red
1. I like the fact they come with a years warranty.
2. I cant afford them at this time.
3. Blue
dawns_horizen@yahoo.com
The #1 reason I would buy them is that they will hold 15 lbs. No bag at the grocery will do that, Halfway to the house and something is rolling down the driveway from a hole in the bag or the handle falls off. 15 lbs is great.
I would probably go with the Blue, I like the Purple also.
Only Reason I could find for not buying them right now is I am hoping I will win them.....
Thanks for the giveaway

#1 they are great for the environment
#2 they cost and grocery store bags are free

tabwheeler@hotmail.com
I would buy because they are more compact than my current reusable bags.
I might not buy them because I do have a few reusable bags aleady.
I would like them in red because it's my son's favorite color.
I would buy them because they are small and do not take up much room in my trunk. I may not but them because of budget reasons. They are a want not a need. My favorite color choice is red.
I would buy them because I don't like to use the plastic bags but use cloth bags. I wouldn't buy one because of the price. I like green.
1) I like that the Breezy Bags are thin but can hold 15 lbs...the thin plastic disposeable store bags too easily get holes in them & rip.
2) the cost...over $3 a bag, I'm not use to having to pay money for shopping bags.
3) color pick = violet
Thanks priscillawallace at sbcglobal dot net
1-reason to buy--because they are so small! I always forget to bring my other bags, but these could stay in my purse.
2- why not? Well, the ones from the store are free and these are not.
3-color? Blue.
What I love about these breezy bags is their good for the environment and they are small to carry eeverywhere. Why I might not use them is because I might forget about them and use the regualar plastic bags. My favorite color is the blue, Thanks, Godesseablu@msn.com
1. I would buy them because they are so compact and would be easy to toss into the glove box so they'd be there when I needed them.
2. I might not buy them because it would be nice if they held a little more weight, although 15 lbs would probably be okay.
3. I like the violet color.
I subscribe.
1)to do my part to help save the environment
2)cost, because the plastic ones are free at the store and money is tight right now. i also recycle the plastic ones by using them in our bathroom trash can
3)red

I'd buy them because they are better for the environment than plastic bags and store in a small pouch the size of a soda can which is easily carried with you at all times. I would not buy them right now because I already have several reusable ones and always make sure they are in my car or purse when I go shopping. I'd get the violet ones if I won.

Got your button

I would maybe buy them because it is cool to be green. I might not because I sew and could just make some myself. I like the cherry red
These would help me keep things stored well. Cool!!
easy to carry in my purse, I like patterns so plain is a bit boring and Violet
1)The biggest reason why you would buy Breezy Bags: I like that I can fold them small enough to carry with me.
2)A reason you may not want to buy Breezy Bags: They're smaller than what I'm used to (and I really like my large reusable bags).
3)Your choice of color if you won: Red
I would buy these bags to help the environment, help reuse bags.
I might not buy them due to higher cost.
I like the purple (would love to see a pattern)
subscriber
i would buy the for grocery shopping..there isnt a reason i woulnt buy them and i love the purple
im a subscriber klp1965@myfairpoint.net :)
I would want them because I would no longer have to use those cheap plastic bags from the store which are so thin if you buy heavy bulk items you have to double bag item or it rips bag before getting into your home with item so double the plastic bag use. I love the fact you get 5 as with a family we have a large load of items being consumed
The only reason that I would not buy the breezy bag is being unemployed money is tight, so have to buy what I can afford. Wish you got a mixture of colors not all the same, that way I could use for better organization as I organize my items on belt at store so all my frozen are bagged together etc, plus I could use for so many other uses.
I would choose blue but if they decided to sell mixture of colors thats what I would choose.
Thank you for the chance.
I'd buy them because I could keep them in my purse, unlike my current reusable bags that I forget and leave in my car. I'm not sure that I'd really want to buy 5 of them - they wouldn't all fit in my purse, so some of them would end up living in my car with my current bags.
I LOVE the violet ones!
1. They are reusable
