I'd been waiting for a better offer on produce bags and it finally arrived with this brand. I thought the other brands of produce bags featured on this site were too expensive, especially because the sets included at most 3 bags. I bought two sets of these bags, for a total of 10 and they are perfect. They're tall enough to fit stalks of celery and stretch enough for 8 onions. The cashiers had no problem identifying the produce items through the semi-sheer material. All in all, great buy! The only way this could be better is if they included a pouch for storing them, but you can always stuff them all in one bag.

I'm so happy I found these bags for the produce I buy each week at our local grocery store. I also look forward to using them at the Farmer's Market once warm weather returns.
I like the soft, lightweight feel of them and that each one has a different colored tag on it - purely for aesthetic reasons. I can fold them up and place them in my snack sack, which also holds my shopping bags.
My only complaint is that there is no way to secure the bag closed. The pull string doesn't stay pulled, and in fact comes loose very easily. I have to be careful of how I place them in my Flip & Tumble shopping bags or the produce will fall out. This is why I give them 4 rather than 5 stars.

Good bags, can't read labels

These bags are much stronger than other similar bags I have. They have re-enforced seams and heavier material. However the material is too dense, labels especially ones with smaller print cannot be read through the mesh. I will only be able to use these for things that do not have labels.
The bags are good otherwise and can accommodate large heads of lettuce and hold heavier loads of things like apples with no trouble.

Love them and buying another set

I love these bags! They are perfect for the grocery store. I buy so much produce that this is a great way to reuse. However, I need to buy an extra set because by the time I go to the grocery store again, I will still have some produce in my fridge. So you need to be able to rotate a few in and out. Overall, an amazing product.

A great add to your bag collection

These produce bags are exactly what I was hoping for. Big enough to fit any produce I buy, and transparent enough to see the stickers on the produce inside. I am so glad to not have to pull the plastic bags off the roll at the grocery store anymore!

These little bags are great. Very easy to use at the store, no bulk and very light weight. The checkers can see what's in them to weigh and scan your items easily as well. I gave these bags as Christmas gifts to my mom and sister and they love them too.

These bags are perfect for produce. They are lightweight and easy for the cashier to see thru to read the code.

I wish these existed when I purchased my original set of cotton produce bags several years ago, because the Flip & Tumbles are so much better! The mesh design prevents the bags from getting "scuzzy" like the cotton ones, they are a great size (perfect for lettuce/greens, broccoli, several onions, many apples/oranges, etc.), and are easy for checkers to see what is inside without opening. I would buy several more sets, if I didn't already have a bunch of cotton ones!

I had the canvas ones before these and although they were great, you couldn't see what was in them. This set of 5 is perfect for my veggies/fruits at the grocery store. Sturdy and easy to clean.

I am so excited every time I go to buy produce. I always hated using those bags that I couldn't reuse. These are light weight, fit in my purse and so easy to use. I have gotten inquiries from lots of people every time I shop.

I love the price, I love the quantity (a whole set of 5!), I love the size. I can fit a whole head of green leaf lettuce in one of them, or several apples, or a stalk of celery. Some cashiers have a problem seeing the produce codes, but others have no problem with them -- one cashier at my local store always makes sure to give me a bag discount for the produce bags as well as my shopping bags. The reviews on this site helped me make up my mind to purchase these bags, and I'm glad I did.

I love these produce bags! Love that there are a set of 5, the colored tags are bright and fun, and they are the perfect size, nicely constructed. I also store my produce in these bags in the fridge without any problem.

I wasn't sure how these would work out and sometimes the clerks are a bit confused but I love them. I have had the clerk remove the bags in fear of the weight but others leave it alone. I would prefer they leave them alone and I pay a penny more vs handling all my produce. The only think I'm not doing is storing my produce in them because I don't own enough. I need to buy more :)

I think these are wonderful. I tried ordering prdouce bags last time, but they wer enot only small, but non see through, so it made it hard for the cashier to recognize what you buy. Those currently store little dance costume accessories. These I have been able to fit 8 apples into the bag. I am definitely planning to buy another set to keep in my significant others car, so he can start using these instead of grabbing plastic produce bags.

So much better using these than all the plastic bags at the grocery store. Great idea!
