Review on BagPodz: Reusable Washable Grocery Shopping Bags - Compact Pod with Carry Clip - RipStop Nylon - Holds 50lbs by Ruth Coleman

As others have said... I didn't mean to pull the trigger. I have so many free bags that I've used for years that work (most of them, anyway), but until I got them I didn't realize how much this case full of bags of different sizes and shapes affects simple everyday affairs. How often do you have to take bags out of the trunk to stow big boxes or luggage or whatever? No longer! These bags are compact and fit right in the wheel well. How many times have your bags taken up so much space in your cart that you couldn't get the food you wanted or had to constantly rearrange groceries in your cart while you shop? Or you try to put them on the ground only for them to spill everywhere if you or someone else trips over them. Sure it's weird, but it's a disorganized mess that wastes time. No longer! Just clip the bag to my shopping cart and it won't bother until I put it on the checkout carousel. And all that is said is just how easy they are to use compared to everything else. They are strong and durable - they can take a beating and you can carry a lot in your hand at once. If I had to complain, I'd say I'd love to carry them over the shoulder, but I suspect they wouldn't fit in such a small bag back then, so it's worth the compromise. I've been using them for a month. now and get questions every time! I had a cashier, 2 packers and a manager who spoke to me about this during my grocery shopping last week. Every time the packer took another package out of the bag, she giggled and said she had to go get them! Pull the trigger - reduce your clutter and reduce your impact on the environment. You will not regret it!
