They are great. I just wanted to come back and update this thread :) :) :) :) :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-your-reusable-shopping-bag#post-2844267 Sat, 08 Sep 2018 21:12:54 +0000 lindseykaye 2844267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a CarryWell set over a year ago and I still love it and it’s held up beautifully.<br /> The 10-pc set has 6 bags that are bigger than the ones I used to use - despite not having a plastic bottom they’re well structured. It also has a cooler bag, and a couple produce mesh bags. If you wanted you could turn the bag caddy into a wine bottle carrier, or just use it for a few bottles when you’ve taken some bags out for a shopping trip. Side pockets for extra bags or coupons or whatever are also nice.<br /> 10 Piece Reusable Shopping Bag &amp; Produce Bags Organizer Tote Bag Set | 6x Reusable Grocery Bags with handles, 2x Mesh Produce Bags, Insulated Freezer Bag, 6-Bottle Wine Carrier| Convenient/Heavy Duty <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01L4QMHW2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_QbiLBbGHJ19H5" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01L4QMHW2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_QbiLBbGHJ19H5</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-your-reusable-shopping-bag#post-2844247 Sat, 08 Sep 2018 14:20:36 +0000 MrsBucky 2844247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have two from ikea like this: <a href="https://m.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/art/20330491/" rel="nofollow">https://m.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/art/20330491/</a></p> <p>They hold up well (or have so far anyway) fold up small, and are inexpensive compared to similar things you can buy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-your-reusable-shopping-bag#post-2844242 Sat, 08 Sep 2018 12:22:40 +0000 meadow 2844242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catgirl: @Littlebit7: Oh those Baggu ones *are* cute!

Mine last for years, and they stay upright in the car when full. I hate the ones that are always falling over. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-your-reusable-shopping-bag#post-2844224 Sat, 08 Sep 2018 08:47:21 +0000 Littlebit7 2844224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Baggu. I have about 6, all in a few sizes. I keep them everywhere.

They fold up small enough that I keep 2 or 3 in my purse at all times. They can hold up to 50 pounds and the handles are long enough to go over my shoulder. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-your-reusable-shopping-bag#post-2844213 Sat, 08 Sep 2018 04:56:08 +0000 Miss Sarah 2844213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the coated ones from trader Joe's, they seem to hold up well. On a more expensive end, I really like using Thirty One totes for my groceries when I hit places like Aldi and have to bag my own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-your-reusable-shopping-bag#post-2844208 Fri, 07 Sep 2018 22:58:48 +0000 AngelicOne 2844208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the blue reusable bags that were at Costco years ago.

I just picked up some cooler bags I like &amp; have been stuffing all my other bags into them....so it's good to hear these work similar as far as "nesting" when folded.

Most have seen better days. The plastic "bottom" insert is cracked on almost all, if it still exists. And I have 2 with holes that I'm still using because I keep forgetting to toss them until I am mid-bagging at the grocery store.</p> <p>I want to upgrade to something a little better quality but not looking for super elegant or expensive.</p> <p>Anyone have a suggestion? I will primarily use the bags for grocery shopping. They don't have to be super compact but the more that I can put them one inside the other, the better so I can effectively shop with my grocery cart still. </p>
