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!

My husband is using these (I have always used them since we first purchased a set three years ago). Why? Because they are small enough that he can throw the sack in the back of his car and keep several individual bags in his motorcycle's underseat storage. The "steel" color is also one that he is willing to be seen carrying- no mango for him. I also use the individual bags as gift bags. I see it as a way to pass on the reusable consciousness.

I LOVE these bags! I have several individual ACME bags which fit conveniently in my purse, but my husband, who does most of the shopping but doesn't carry a purse(!) would keep forgetting to take them. We hang this new 4-pack bag on the front door and he hooks it over his wrist on the way out. Hooray! Thank you!

I love these bags because they are so easy to carry and therefore it's easy to remember to take one with me to the store. As soon as I unload my groceries, I fold the bag back up, tuck it into its tiny pouch and put it back in my purse or coat pocket. That way I always have it when I need it. I also like that it is very sturdy and holds a lot. Finally the colors are pretty and the bag does not seem to get soiled easily. This is absolutely my favorite reusable bag.

I love these ACME bags -- they are small, light, and squish delightfully into my purse. Since they are designed just like the grocery store's plastic bags, I get absolutely no sighs of complaint from the clerks like when I used the bulky, reusable store bags. I usually use seven or eight for a packed cart (top and bottom) of groceries, and they hold-up to some serious loads. I regularly pack six bottles of wine into a bag with plenty of room to spare (for an easier carry), and am able to fill the bag with canned goods without straining the seams. I have enjoyed my purchase so much that I have ordered more to give as gifts.

Just plain spectacular. The feel is different than the original (these have the silicone) but they do pack smaller and are stronger. I like having brighter colors rather than black because you can see contents easier.

Using for a month now and I am in love with them. They all fit in the small carrying pouch and I just keep them in my purse or car so I always have them. They feel soft and love the different colors (I can remember what to put in the fidge first now). My husband has even used them and loves that they can carry more then the plastic store bags which leads to less trips from the car. To have the bags ready for checkout I don't fold the bags up I just stuff them in the carrying pouch and pull them out quickly. They do fit in the carousal but find that most places just stuff while holding the bag. We are a family of four and I do shopping about once a week with four bags and two thermal totes and it works for us. I will be buying extra sets one for my husbands car (for those store runs after work) and Family Christmas gifts. Worth your money!

These are great! I carry one separately in my purse instead of the little pouch, and the pouch lives in the car trunk so that the other bags are ready when we do larger grocery runs. I've carried hardcover books and knitting/crochet in them as well as groceries and other purchases. If you find a small tear (abrasion over time from things with corners), use tape, the kind you'd use to patch a camping backpack. Conventional needle/thread stitches tend to worsen the hole--maybe the problem is that I don't have very fine nylon or polyester thread around....

LOVE THESE BAGS!!! I've checked out a number of different reusable grocery bags and this one is my ABSOLUTE favorite! They are so compact that I can carry a couple in my purse, a few in my car and I try to always remember to take them with me when I travel as well. I bought a set of 5 of these bags last year and was heartbroken when I lost a couple of them. I just ordered 2 of these new sets, with the carrying pouch, in light blue. They are the same size as a regular plastic grocery bag, but hold more because they're sturdier. Everytime I'm at the grocery store, someone asks me about my ACME bags and I get to demonstrate the "stuff" pocket, which easily holds the entire bag, without having to refold it to fit...just stuff the bag back into the pocket and toss it back in your purse....what a great feature! They are also washable and look great out of the laundry after drip drying. The other bags I've tried have not held up as well. I'm planning on ordering these for my brothers and sisters for Christmas and I'm sure they'll be as thrilled with the functionality and convenience as I am.

Light weight, good quality and so convenient to take along to use. I always keep them handy in the car. Useful for farmer's markets to have to put in bagfuls of produce, and easy to transport.

Love Love Love it. Good material, nice look, reasonable size, and I love that they fold up into little pouches and all four fit in a little carrier that was even smaller than I thought it would be. I want to buy more, just hard to justify the cost when I have bags (not as nice) already. Another set may be a Christmas present to myself.

These bags are just what I was looking for. I loop them through the strap on my purse and carry all four, or just tuck one into my purse by itself. Their each so tiny, but expand to a full size bag. And once used, they're so easy to squish back into their little pocket to be tiny again. I absolutely LOVE them.

The bags themselves are great and have a large capacity. Folding them to get them back into the attached (another great feature) storage pouch can be a bit of a challenge. The other bags that can just be "stuffed" back into the storage pouch are a bit more convenient.

I love these little bags! I would never remember to bring my reusable bags into the grocery store because I carry a baby, diaper bag, big kid, etc, but these are so compact I just keep them in the diaper bag so I always have them with me. Super sturdy and hold tons and tons of stuff!

I gave these bags as Christmas gifts last year and they were a huge hit with all my family and friends. My only regret was not getting any for myself. I have now purchased my own set and can't believe I didn't do it sooner. The bags fold very compactly into their own internal pouch and can be easily stashed in your purse (either singly or all together in their own bag). This means you are never without a bag. I have good habits about taking my cloth bags to the grocery store, but always find myself without my cloth bags at the drugstore, Target, hardware store, etc. Now with these tiny bags in my purse, I never have to worry about remembering my bags. They should be manadatory for every shopper!
