The Planet Bag Set of Six (6) 100% Cotton Natural Canvas Grocery Tote Bags Reviews

• Love these bags

  
  By A131QYBBORK62F on 2007-08-02
  I am really pleased with The Planet Bag. I can't believe how much they hold. I shop for a family of five and can fit almost all of my weekly shopping trip in the six bags. I do find the straps to be a little long, when the bag is loaded it can be heavy and hard to lift with the long strap. So I tied a knot on the top of the straps.
  And I am always happy to do what I can to help our world for our children.
  
  
  

• Good, but a bit expensive - and be careful when you wash them

  
  By A2XXVNTN0ZIRZH on 2008-03-24
  These do a great job. They are attractive and well-constructed.
  
  When they get dirty, as they will if you use them, make sure you don't put them in the dryer, or they will shrink.
  
  I'm still amazed at how much these cloth bags cost. I sometimes wonder if those of us trying to be "green" are being exploited a bit.
  
  
  

• Get rid of the plastic!

  
  By A12YVBHTYVQOY3 on 2007-08-31
  I have used these totes for several shopping trips. I love them. I have found six bags are plenty to accommodate even my largest shopping trip. Each bag holds the same amount of groceries as two or three plastic shopping bags. I love not having to mess with the plastic bags after I unload my groceries, and some supermarkets give a small discount if you use your own bags.
  
  

• inexpensive enough for a whole shopping trip!

  
  By A1ZQSWIKX78BMY on 2007-08-14
  great product, finally low enough cost so a normal person can buy enough for a whole shopping trip. best customer service i've ever experienced....EVER. long straps make my little self able to load up like a donkey and bring all the bags inside in one trip. I've told all my friends and family.
  
  

• Good for you, good for the planet

  
  By A2G5P6PUTAXJZZ on 2007-08-14
  I have used these bags now for about four months and they are wonderful. I love the long handles because I can carry the bags over my shoulder. I can carry several bags at once without a problem and the weight is distributed better over my shoulders and back than when carrying the traditional way hanging down in your hands. The design is cute and they are very sturdy. The big boxy shape fits practically any size product and I have used them at all the stores I shop at, not just grocery. All this and I am helping the future of our planet! I would highly recommend these bags.

  These bags are fantastic. What a bargain! I do wish they were a little heavier, but they definately meet my needs! They are very big and fit all of my groceries without a problem! And I shop for 5 of us and a dog! The design on them is so cute, I just love them!

  The catchy logo on the canvas bags always draws attention and I am able to pass the word about the good sense in use reusable bags.

  Although the handles are a little long for short people, they're great bags. Used instead of wrapping paper for presents for Christmas, and included statistics about the number of plastic bags ditched every year and the environmental consequences. (From a Time Magazine article.)
  
  
• Great tote bags, awesome size!
  By A2LA0L4H3JDMHY on 2008-04-22
  I use these bags for everything from grocery shopping to a weekend bag to a work tote. This size is my favorite -- huge bag. Three of these totes will fit more than a weeks worth of groceries for two.
  
  Though since it doesn't have a square bottom, I bought a couple smaller bags with the square insert for fragile grocry items (eggs, bread).
  
  
• Eco-friendly grocery bags
  By A2M8B4UYJAAXO5 on 2007-09-23
  I have asked around my grocery stores where I could find the green bags and nobody knew what I was talking about. Thank goodness for a search on Amazon.com. I rate these bags a wonderful eco-friendly way to help our environment out. It has long handles so you can hang them over your shoulder and carry multiple bags at once. Also, just the knowledge that I will be helping the environment. The price was quite reasonable.
  
  
• A great way to help the environment
  By A3QS4BGC6EK851 on 2007-10-24
  The bags came just as described. They are soft and have already come in handy on trips to the grocery store. I bought six and that has been more than enough for my trips.

  By A17356VCOQLKE9 on 2007-10-05
  I really like this product and now I don't have to bring home all those plastic bags. It is one step toward saving the environment and very helpful for me. Thanks.
  
  
• Love them for everything!
  By A26XP03MTIN0DK on 2007-12-25
  I originally got them just for groceries, of course, but I really appreciated them over the holidays--taking packages to the post office, hauling food to get-togethers, delivering gifts to all the different family members. I've crammed these bags beyond full with very heavy things and they handled it with no problem. Plastic bags couldn't have done that. I feel great everytime I leave a store and leave their plastic behind. Also, I live on the 3rd floor, so it's nice to load up and have to make only one trip now. I keep most bags in my car, but I keep one on the doorknob on the inside of my front door. It's great for throwing all those odds and ends in and being on your way. They're durable, the size is perfect, and they're washable! If you're thinking about them, get them! The only regret you may have is that you should have gotten them sooner or more of them.
  
  
• Consider shorter handles
  By A1KH0ZHIED2M5M on 2008-01-14
  The bags are great overall and the graphic is a nice bonus. Because the handles are a bit on the long side, when I carry them full of groceries they tend to drag near the ground. Shorter handles would make them easier to carry (unless you put them over your shoulder)

  After looking at many types of reuseable tote bags, I thought these were the best. They hold a surprisingly large amount of food and are very sturdy. I would recommend these bags. Plus I feel better walking out of the grocery store knowing I'm taking a small step towards a better world.
  
  
• Wonderfu Size
  By A1DGUHA4R66GTN on 2007-09-16
  I bought these bags after watching the green concerts on TV. They are a very nice size. I agree with one other review that they will hold the same contents as two to three plastic bags. They wash up nicely too. Since they will hold so much they are made to withstand the weight, not flimsy. If everyone would just buy one set of these bags and use them the savings on our landfills and recycling centers would be phenomenal!
  
  
• Love these!
  By AIZ7OQGFQIMDU on 2007-10-26
  I have taken these bags to the grocery store twice, and found that they fit ALL of my groceries without a problem! I've had problems in the past with "attitude" from the baggers at the grocery store when I ask for anything other than plastic, and they didnt't even think twice about filling these babies for me!
  
  
• Very roomy bags
  By ADICGZP3FF5T7 on 2007-12-13
  These bags are great. They hold the same amount of groceries as about 1.5 plastic bags. The handles are nice and long, and they seem like they will last a long time.
  
  
• saving planet one tote at a time
  By A2H75T3A9PJHZI on 2008-01-26
  I bought these bags a while back and use them all the time BUT what the groceries don't tell you outright is that when you "USE your own bags" you can save aprrox. 5 cents per bag because that's the savings they accrue when you don't use their plastics or paper bags. Eventually it pays for itself and reduces the amount of waste and unnecessary use of natural resources. It Just makes sense! These bags are huge and so durable.The six bags holds almost a cart full of items. I LOVE THEM and you will TOO!!!
  
  
• Great for people with arthritis
  By AAFPX2OLKTIBX on 2008-05-09
  I got a set of these bags for my birthday this year--I wanted to help the environment. What I didn't realize was how easy it makes shopping for me. I have arthritis in my hands, and carrying grocery store plastic bags in from the car was usually a painful process that involved many trips back and forth. Now, I put one or two bags over each shoulder, and I am able to carry my groceries in from the car in one or two car trips--with no pain! With the set of six bags, I can usually fit all my groceries into them--sometimes, I don't even use all of them. I haven't had to wash them yet, but I like having that option available. I love the long straps on these bags, and I am very happy with this product.
  
  
• These bags are fabulous

  The Planet Bag Set of Six (6) 100% Cotton Cloth Grocery Totes
  I have been using my bags for two weeks and I am extremely pleased with these products. They are strong, light weight and the long handles make them easy to carry on my shoulders. I live in a third floor apartment and I can carry all of my groceries upstairs in one trip. I would recommend these bags for anyone with arthritis because you can divide the weight between both sides of your body and your hands do not have to bear the weight of whatever you are carrying.
  
  
• Nice big canvas shopping bags
  By A2YDI687UIHO3S on 2008-07-29
  I have had these bags for 3 weeks and have no complaints so far. They are much bigger than other canvas bags I have seen sold in local grocery stores. My husband and I shop weekly for groceries for us two and have never used more than 4 bags; we usually get by with just using 3. Good buy and good for the environment!
  
  
• Great for carrying a week's worth of groceries
  By A195F7LTG6PJTU on 2008-01-01
  Use these for grocery shopping and I can usually fit a week's worth easily in a couple of bags. It also makes carrying groceries much easier because the straps hang easily from your shoulder. In the past I would have to take a couple of trips from the car to the garage, but now it almost always just takes one.
  
  
• The Planet Bag Set of Six (6) Cloth Grocery Totes (15" x 16" x 3", Natural)
  By A2I9DGEA1MS6VO on 2008-01-08
  These are great bags! I absolutely love them and gave a few away to friends and family. Not only are they great for the environment, they make shopping in the supermarket much easier. Just load your produce right in! Plus, they never tear or break, unlike plastic or paper bags. Not only that, they have a great design quoting the motto, "Because you don't have to be super hero to save the planet." What's more, often times at grocery stores, cashiers will give you money back for using reusable shopping bags, so they will pay for themselves overtime. What's better than that?
  I highly recommend this product! Great for everyday or bulk shopping!
  
  
• LOVE THESE BAGS!
  By A192HFB8DCY0H1 on 2008-04-10
  I just returned from a BIG grocery shopping trip (for my family of 5) and these bags were fantastic! I couldn't believe how much I fit into them...and even came home with one empty. Also, the long straps made it easier for me to carry the items to the car and into my house. I keep them neatly folded in my trunk (all inside one bag) so they are always handy when I make a stop at the Farmer's Market, produce stand or grocery store. LOVE THEM!
  
  
• Great Bags at a Great Price
  By A1FVABZTVKZA1C on 2008-06-20
  These bags are everything you could possibly want in a cotton tote bag and more. They are roomy, easy to carry, and help save the environment, too! We use them every time we go shopping and now our local grocery store is giving us 2 cents for every personal bag we use. We have six, and they are plenty for our household bi-weekly grocery shopping. They are easy to pack and the extra long handles make it easier to carry more at a time, which by the way, don't seem to get very heavy like the paper or plastic bags seem to get.
  
  I highly recommend these wonderful totes/bags and am thinking of buying two more sets for my sisters and their families for the holidays. I'm sure they will appreciate them as much as I do.
  
  
• Grocery totes
  By A2D60Z9JIPHY0X on 2008-07-06
  
  We have found the grocery bags to have many advantages over the paper bag. They are sturdier and the handles don't break. They also provide some insulation for the frozen products. These bags are large enough that they hold more than a paper grocery bag.
  
  
• Great re-usable shopping bags
  By A3G0UO2L81TGRX on 2008-07-31
  These are bags are the perfect size for weekly shopping and have long handles that allow you versatility in how you carry the bags. I highly recommend these bags.
  
  
• I LOVE this bag
  By A19TJ487O2WO4F on 2008-08-06
  I love this bag!! It is big and easy to use; the handles are sturdy and the bag holds two weeks full of groceries with no problems (sometimes more). I have told multiple friends and they love the planet bag too. Unlike the public's bag's I can wash the planet bag with no worries that it will ruin my washer or dryer. I recommend the planet bag for all ages.
  
  The planet bag does not just have to be used for groceries, my sister uses it for her school books.
  
  this is the perfect bag :)
