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 have both sizes of Trolley Bags for doing really big shopping and not so big loads. They are brilliant, especially when doing scan-as you-shop. Very strong so no trouble even with lots of tins and heavy items. I am buying a few more sets for Xmas presents. They even have my husbands approval and he hates shopping! I have also had lots of shoppers come up and ask where I got them as they could see how brilliant they really are. Best purchase I have ever made.

Hi. I bought my trolley bags a year ago,they are great I use mine once a week to do my weekly shop. But I noticed last Saturday when I got home that the green bag had an hole at the side of the bag,the stitching gas cone away from the cloth. I was wondering is there any way I could just buy the green bag on its own,if so how much would it be?

This is the fifth set I have purchased. I gave several sets for presents two years ago and have a request from another family member for a set for Christmas this year. It just shows the power of advertising by her older sisters!
I first used similar bags from Germany at least fifteen years ago (still going strong too!) and have wondered when they would be easily available here. They are so colourful and practical making the weekly shop a pleasure.
Thanks for introducing them here so that we can all benefit from them.

Our new trolley bags are brill easy to sort out the food as we pack, all veg in one then all tins in another, bread & crisps in another so they don’t get crushed lol.

Tryied trolly bags out last week. And was impressed with the ease of use and low cost. As a few females asked after them and was totally envious of me being so orginised. (For a bloke). :-). Great product!!!

After running into extreme problems at a certain low priced stores checkouts I decided I needed to do something. I was fed up with smashed biscuits, squashed loaves and feeling as though I had to duck as things were thrown at me.
I purchased some Trolley bags in the hope it would make life easier, well it sure helped.
My packing was speedily transferred into the various bags and seamed to disappear in an instant. the rods holding the bags up and open were great.
I did find that the bags where a bit big for the trolley space available and they expanded at the bottom so I almost only needed 3 out of the 4.
I thought there was going to be a problem getting them into the car as the rod’s seem very wide, this was managed with a bit of jiggling.
Overall the bags are great, I think I will just need to work out how to use them best for my shopping.
The only niggle is the long rods in them make fitting all of the shopping in the car a bit of a puzzle.
I would recommend these to people having trouble with packing and I like that they are available for shallow trolley’s also, which is very useful.

I love my new pastel coloured packing bags. I got admiring looks from other shoppers and the young guy on the till in Lidl commented how cool they were! I even managed to keep pace with the till operator in Lidl which i can never normally do if using carrier bags. Great product!

After many tears by the time i reach the packing point in aldi i am now a ninji. After faffing with plastic bags while my shopping is being launched at me and the 5 year old stealing it i can now open my teolley bags wide with a smug look of glee on my face and pack with ease much to the chagrin of the checkout assistant ans other shoppers. The shopping bag tetris that used to be when attempting to fit carrier bags in my mini micra car ia no more while the smug look gets better and bigger. The ease of getting home and knowing my food thief child and my two huge dogs keeps their noses out as i now know where everything is without having to panic. Theyre sturdy, robust and the pastel colours suit me. I absolutley love this and to bw honest you could probably attmept to punch that smug look off my face but to no avail. Cheers packing sorted for my trolley bags. I love them.
