| Reusable shopping bags |
Great product because it folds up small. I have a truck and all of them pack right into the bin behind the seat, and the fit easily into a purse. The bags are a generous size, and true to advertising - you can fit several plastic grocery bags worth in one nylon bag. The only improvement would be if they could make them so the carrier pouch stays attached. I throw it inside the bag, but I'm always afraid I'll lose one. |

| Great Substitution for Paper or Plastic |
These bags are a great substitution for the traditional paper or plastic bags at retail stores. I typically spend $150 or so per trip to the grocery store, and I have no problem fitting my cartful of groceries into six of these bags. They're thin but relatively sturdy, and they're small enough to stash in my purse when I'm not using them.
I dislike the pouches that the bags fit into, however; I wish they were attached. I'm afraid I'm going to lose one of them.
Overall, a great buy. The price is worth the feeling that you're doing your part to help the environment. |

| Baggu is the BEST! |
I was kind of skeptical when I first saw these bags. But I'm trying to do my part to "save the world" and I thought these looked cool. Well, this is the best purchase I've made to date from Amazon. Not only are these bags really tough, they are sooo roomy. The photos don't do justice to how huge they are! You can fit 3x what you can fit in one plastic shopping bag from the supermarket. And they are so durable you can jam pack them with stuff and they still hold up. Baggu definitely gets an A+ in my book! |

| Not expensive for its quality |
To those who complain about the cost of these bags, they should take note that the material used for these bags is RIPSTOP nylon, the same material used in parachutes and hot air balloons. The fabric is reinforced with crossthreads,so it is very strong and durable. Chicobags, e.g., use ordinary nylon, and there were complaints that some of these bags tore after a couple of months use. Ripstop nylon won't tear easily and, unlike ordinary nylon, any tears that might occur won't spread (hence the name), but the fabric is more expensive. Cotton is sturdy and a lot cheaper than ripstop nylon, but most grocery totes made of cotton are heavier, bulkier, and do not fold compactly, and so are less likely to be carried with one routinely. If you want lightweight, durable,and portable, ripstop nylon is the way to go, but you will have to pay more for it. |
