Comments about REI Reusable Shopping Tote:
Whether it's hauling Christmas presents home, grocery shopping, or giving as a gift!! This is an incredible buy! The totes you can buy at grocery stores are okay, but this bag is amazing! It's deep so it hauls twice as much, and the TWO sets of handles let you pick for your comfort! Extra durable, fashionable and not to mention safe to the environment! I now have a total of 12 of these bags, many I have given as gifts, but I'm hoarding a bunch for my own personal use. These are great totes!

Ah, a simple shopping bag...what can you say. Beyond the obvious, that it's good to re-USE, not just recycle.
Well, this bag is WOVEN polypro, not unwoven, so it is very sturdy and can carry two one-gallon jugs of milk; it has shoulder length handles, which frees your hand, and "shorty" handles so the bottom won't drag on the ground (if you are "height challenged").
But mainly it is a great emergency carry-on bag for flights - fold it up to fit your carry on, then throw your "personal bag" in here with any purchases if the gate agent is eyeballing the number of bags you have.
For shopping, beach trips, the gym even, the wide woven hand straps simply just don't cut into your hands, and impair circulation, the way plastic bags to. And unlike a paper bag, this thing just won't break.

I'm not an individual that takes the time to write reviews, but this item really warrants one! I know, it's just a tote, but with the onset of the number of reusable totes avaiable today (grocery stores, department stores, etc), the REI tote is significantly better. Besides the fact that it is built of much high quality materials, the bag is also larger and deeper, allowing you to put almost twice as much stuff in it compared to the grocery store variety. By far, this is one of the best purchases I've made in an effort to be more eco-friendly.

In addition to all the other uses in the 3 previous reviews, these bags are great to use with Bike Grocery Baskets [...]REI has large Wald rear basket, by I have the folding type..I use a bungee cord through the long handles to close up the top, so the wind doesn't fly a way with my bag of Cape Code Potato Chips. I roll the top of the bag over, slide the handles through the side wire basket, to close the top w/out crushing the Potato Chips. Then I use a bungee cord to snug the bag clos, by pulling up on strap which is thread low on the basket. The tall, sturdy bags increase the capacity of the baskets. (Add bread, etc crushables to the top.)I'm about to buy 10 more & pick them up at on a bike. Low carbon foot print.

Comments about REI Reusable Shopping Tote:
I had been looking for a good alternative to plastic blags and finally found it with this REI Reusable Shopping Tote. I love it for several reasons:
1. It really does hold twice to three times as much as a plastic bag, and is strong enough to bare the large load.
2. The multiple handle options are a definite plus
3. I use these as often as I can and they still look like new.
4. When I have worn it out I will be able to recycle it.
Keeping them in my car has allowed me to also use them whenever I am in need of extra storage or carrying capacity. You will not find a better bag than this.

I use my bag for quick runs to the food store. I always throw it right back in the car so I have it all the time! I carry things to work, church or school and this is perfect. I really like the material it's made out of. Very sturdy for the price. I have to buy more....
