I bought mine at a store called Bangalla in Redmond Town Center (https://shop.bangalla.com/splashPage.hg) They had a really cute set of Retro ones that I hadn't seen before, but I ended up getting the Floral Motif set of 5. Yes it was a little pricey, but I kept one for myself (natch!) and gave the other 4 as gifts and they were a HUGE hit! I keep mine rolled up in my spare cup holder in the car. On its first use, it fit about $40 worth of groceries from Trader Joe's and works like a champ- even a bottle or two of 2-Buck Chuck in the bottom of the bag produced nary a peep out of this hard-working Uber-Bag. Yay! Thanks for the great tips!

I just used them at the grocery for the first time last night and they hold so much. The check out guy made the comment that all of the groceries were not going to fit in my 5 bags and lo and behold, they did. My grocery even gave me a bag credit on my total bill. I keep one in my purse at all times and the rest in my car. Thanks so much for the suggestion! I love mine! I just used them at the grocery for the first time last night and they hold so much.

When they first arrived I unrolled them all and most of them have tons of threads hanging off the straps. It looks like the sewing quality is poor. Also, I already have some worn spots (after one use) from where a bag rubbed on the pavement or on the side of the Metro escalator. I will keep using them and see how they hold up, but so far I am not completely sold. Like kk above, I have notice that the stitching on some of my bags is loose.

I love my bags but I'm still getting used to remembering to always carry my bags with me. I keep ending up at the grocery checkout counter and realizing I forgot my bags at home, in the car etc. Well, my intentions are good so I hopefully will remember them more often! sue Another Canadian tip: I bought my set at comondi.com - they're a deal at $28.50 for the set and the folks who run the shop are super sweet.

I keep telling myself to sew some reusable bags for the farmers market and organic food shop but I just never do. I finally broke down and ordered these. Great review, I can't wait to get mine.

I love the flora set (well, I love three of them anyway!) and can't wait to use them. I'm always having to carry around an annoying plastic bag in my tote or my son's diaper bag just in case I have bagoverflow problems! Thanks, Megan. You are so fabulous.

His mom got them in Manhattan at a shop way back in early May, and I only just recieved my from delight. But I love them! $33 for a set of bags isn't such a bad deal. The compact size when folded has made it so that I'm never at the store without a bag, something the larger canvas bags have not managed to do.

I read about them on Not Martha, and I immediately impulse-bought myself a set of five. It didn’t really register with me that these bags fold up into little bag nuggets, so they’re easy to stash in a small purse, backpack, even a jacket pocket. I’ve used these constantly for about a month, and they are fabulous. I do a lot of shopping on the way home from school, so it’s just not practical to carry around one of those big, non-collapsible tote bags all the grocery stores were hawking around Earth Day. And now they’re available in cool retro colors! I think these would make an awesome gift, because they are so darn usable! No excuses.

You're right about the foldability making them worth the expense. I always have a sack in my backpack, my purse, the glovebox, I've never been without one in a time of need! My only prob is that they are perhaps a little too big? They tend to bonk on the curb edge when I cross the street, unless I lift them up a little. Perhaps my arms are too long?
