How do they work?
In one simple action the Trolley Bags system spreads out and rests on the deeper supermarket trolleys, giving you a series of open and upright bags into which you can pack and sort your shopping with both hands. The bags attach and separate via Velcro so you can transport them easily to and from the car. Watch the how-to video here.
Did you know that Trolley Bags are proven to save up to 40% of the time spent packing at the checkout? We tested Trolley Bags Original versus regular reusable bags and due to the nature of the bags being able to stay racked open and upright, the shopper could pack their items straight into these bags with both hands rather than having to hold regular bags open with one hand and pack with the other. Comparing the packing times, using Trolley bags Original, the shopper packed their items almost 40% quicker!
The first designs of Trolley Bags featured a half fabric and half mesh bottom for a more flexible bag that moulds its shape to the shopping. This design also rolls up easily for carrying and is a more breathable fabric option for your Trolley Bags.
Did you know one single-use plastic bag takes 10-20 years to decompose? Just one Trolley Bag from the set can replace up to 1000 plastic bags in its lifetime. We need to do our bit to help the climate crisis now and starting with your single-use bag consumption seems a small step, but it quickly adds up to become a big difference.
But don’t just take our word for our great they really are, read our customer reviews here and see for yourself.

I bought the larger bags first which are perfect for that big shop. Then i bought two box bags with the freezer bag again worth every penny so easy to use. Then i decided to get the smaller trolly bags when im only doing a small shop with the other box bag so ive got a different sizes for any sort of shopping im doing & not a single plastic bag in sight.

These trolly bags are the sort of invention I’d thought of but THEY actually did it!
I’ve had the set of deep bags since they first came out. I try to put the bulky but light items in the biggest bag e.g. cereal boxes, toilet rolls so it is easier to get out of the trolly when full.
My elderly Mum loved the shallow set that I bought her and they are still good – have lasted for years becuase she doesn’t over-fill them. So I have just purchased another shallow set which are much easier to get in and out of the trolly in an effort to shop fresh food, more regularly.
I would like to have one of the Cool Bags because they look handy for the frozen shopping if you need to pop somewhere after your main food shop.
My Tip: I bought the the 3rd set for half price during a sale which I knew about from the emailing list.

I use the trolley bags for scan as you shop – so easy to sort things logically into bags as you pick them up. They are also great in Aldi where you can have all the bags open and ready to sort things into as they come through the till at speed. The bags are so easy to roll up and store in the car. I have just purchased the extra bag to hang on the front of the trolley for those weeks when a bigger shopping trip is needed. Thoroughly recommended.

The bags are a great idea and very useful. No more plastic bags from now on everyone should have a set of these bags.
