22 New Jersey-Inspired Reusable Totes You Need Before the Plastic Bag Ban

The plastic bag ban in New Jersey is coming. Starting May 4th, you'll have to bring your own reusable totes when you shop. Here's a bunch of Garden State-themed options worth stocking up on.

The reformation eliminates the use of single-use plastic bags and certain take-out food containers, like those made of Styrofoam, according to NJ.gov. You won't even be able to get paper bags from grocery stores bigger than 2,500 square feet.
