Love the bright color, the strong fabric, and how small a space these take up!
The lack of a shoulder strap bothers me more than I'd expected, though: when the bags are full, they're too heavy for me to carry all at once in my hands or on my forearms. For urban dwellers, something with a shoulder strap probably makes more sense.
I also find that they take a long time to fold and unfold due to the placement of the pouch. It would be better if I didn't have to turn them inside out each time, and also if the pouch were made of a stretchy fabric as with one of the other brands. I suppose eventually I'll just stop folding them into their individual pouches and just cram them into the stuff sack that encloses the set.

teeny & light, easy to use

I have one of these bags looped on the carabiner with my keychain, so I always have a bag, but these bags are so light that I could conceivably carry the entire stuff sack of four bags there! Material seems very sturdy, and the only thing I might change is to lengthen the loops slightly (to make it easier to carry a super-stuffed bag).

We decided to order a bunch of these in different colors to mix and match for holiday gifts. The pouch they come in is great.
Personally I have been using these bags to tote groceries and my heavy CSA share every week for two years. In that time, I've had the trimming edge fray on two bags and Reusable Bags replaced them for me. What service!
I get compliments on these all the time and they are easier to open than some of the other bags I've used.

Portable. Quality. Great for walkers
by cynthia h - 03/2010
This set fits 4 grocery bags in something the size of a grapefruit. It could pretty much fit in any glove box, purse, bike saddlebag, etc. The portability makes them easy to have with you at any time. The bags themselves are comfortable to carry even when fully loaded (and when you have to walk several blocks).

This purchase was to increase my number of bags so that should tell you what I think of these bags. I love the fact that you can throw one in your purse or pocket and always have a bag on hand for those occasions where you need to carry something. They are wonderful grocery bags because about the time the bag is full is usually about the weight that I can easily carry. They wear wonderfully and wash up even better.

Only the best ever. They are small, tough, and hold a lot.

These bags are great! I can keep them in my purse because they are so small, so I never forget them at the store. They are strong and can carry lots of groceries, including an entire bag full of cans. I wish there were more colors to choose from, but the colors are nice (but 2 shades of gray are a little boring for me). I would recommend these bags to anyone! In fact, I bought several sets of them to give to family and friends as Christmas gifts!

I received one as a gift and promptly ordered 2 more sets for myself. I get compliments from the customers behind me and the cashiers. They are easy to unfold (my 3-year-old granddaughter's job) and refold.
I bought the snack sack and use it to store 8 of my bags. I always keep one bag in my purse to use in other stores.
These bags surprisingly hold more than 2 regular plastic grocery bags, so I ohly have to carry in 1/2 the number of bags. They are very durable and so my investment will pay of for many years.
I recommend these bags to all those who are "Going Green." They will make you glad you did - now and for the next generation.

Great set of Shopping Bags
by Eugene G - 12/2009
This was actually my second order of shopping bags. I made the mistake of getting 4 Black bags last time and found that I couldn't even find the handles in the darkness of my car's trunk. Also dark colored items pretty much disappeared inside of the black bag. And after about 3 weeks 2 of my 4 bags also disappeared. I still don't know where they went.
So I placed another order for light colored bags and they are working out much better for me. I got Silver bags this time and keep them all together inside of the pouch with the drawstring that came with the set. One thing I didn't even know before is that several stores in my area give me 5 cents off per bag when they don't have to use their bags. Nice little bonus.

I purchased the work horse set of 4 bags for both of my daughters for Christmas. I already know they will be surprised and appreciative of the gift! We are very eco-conscious and are always looking for to be moreso. Although we have re-usable bags in our cars, we would usually forget to bring them into the stores with us. The packable size of the workhorse bags will make it easy to have them on us wherever we go.

I purchased two sets of these bags recently, having already owned a set previously. They are great! I keep one in the car and just a couple of the bags in my purse at all times. The biggest problem I have with them is friends and family are constantly asking to "borrow" them. Maybe that explains the reason for the additional purchase!
