EnvirosaxML.P Mallorca Pouch, Set of 5 Reusable Shopping Bags Grocery, Multicolored

I bought this set of Evirosax to replace a set that I accidentally left in the grocery cart. I was horrified when I got to the next store to find my bags weren't in my car. This is my 3rd set of Envirosax - I still have the first set, too, but wanted more. They can hold a TON of groceries - your biggest limit will be how much weight you want to carry, not how much weight the bag can withstand without tearing at the seams. Another bonus compared to other styles of reusable bags - these can be washed. Meat packaging leaks? Throw it in the wash - like brand new. I took just one on a recent trip and it was excellent as a dirty laundry bag during the vacation and then for overflow on the way home (this was a road trip, not a flight, though I would think it would be just fine stowed under the seat - probably not a great idea to put it in the overhead since there's no zip closure).While I do find them frustrating to fold, once they're all rolled up and stowed away in their little case, they don't take up much space, so you can just pop one or all in your purse for the shopping trip (just don't be like me and leave them in the cart at Trader Joe's).Every time I take them out to bag groceries, the checkout person compliments me on my excellent bags - often astonished that they go from such a small size to something that can hold so much, but also because they are pretty.

Compré estas bolsas para un regalo. Tengo varios sets de la misma marca y siempre las uso para cuando voy al súper. Siempre traigo una en mi bolsa de mano para emergencias.

I got my first Envirosax bag in 2008. It is still going strong today. I liked it so much that I bought second one a few months later. They told up easily and fit in your pocket. They are strong and hold a surprising amount - I frequently get comments from cashiers about how much I can fit in them. I purchased these as a gift for someone planning an extended vacation as these bags are an essential travel item for me - first one was bought in Rome after I realized Europe was way ahead of North America in phasing out plastic bag and I didn't understand "do you need a bag?" in Italian. The bonus is I'm giving away 2 and get to keep 3. They are a little pricey but totally worth the money.

I first bought Envirosax about 12 years ago and have been using that original set regularly for grocery shopping ever since then. They're strong, extremely durable, easy to use, easy to carry, and really just can't be beat. I have never ever had one bust or break on me. I only needed to replenish my set because they were getting pilfered for other uses like holding craft supplies. This new set is slightly redesigned and, I'll admit, I like the older ones better. The handles on these are a bit shorter and the snap closure is in a different place. Of course I'm just used to years of using the old ones, so it's just a matter of adjusting.As for carrying them and storing them, I have a set of nylon mesh reusable produce bags and use one of them as a catchall for all my reusable grocery bags. It's easier than trying to get them back in the little pouch they come in.

These bags look very nice. The quality of the construction is excellent. Very sturdy - I have used these bags for heavy loads of groceries. Straps are wide and sturdy. I washed and air dried them and they still look as good as new.
