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.

Couldn’t be happier. Easy to use, easy to store, good quality and a good price. I’ve bought them as gifts for other people and my own set. Would recommend.

I have a set of the deep trolley bags the number 4 bag has split on the grey material in 2 places, is there any strong tape i could use to mend them. These bags are the best idea ever otherwise.
Thanks

Being almost 80 I chose the small version of the trolley bags and found that are just the right size for the weekly shopping and they are not to heavy to handle into an out of the car.. They certainly save time at the checkout and attract quite a lot of attention. Note I first saw the trolley bags being used at a supermarket in Cyprus,

I have both sauce trolley bags & the cool bag. I love them all especially when using in Waitrose !

So much quicker getting through the checkout! And only 4 bags to carry into the house as they hold so much more than standard bags. Only niggle is on the set of bags I bought for my mum (shallower ones – for the smaller trolleys) – and the problem we have is that once emptied, the bags do not roll up as the largest bag is not big enough to contain/roll up the other 3 inside. The velcro fixing point does not reach to secure them – so mum has to tie them up with a ribbon!!! Maybe you could send us an extension!!!?

I am so glad I brought them. Shopping is so much easier. I open them up in the supermarket trolley and place my shopping in them as I go along. It makes it easy at the checkout as I have my items packed before I get there, and know after they have been checked I only have to repack them away in the bag they came out of. Shopping is a pleasure now.

I bought the ones suitable for a smaller trolley. Very pleased with them. Had enough of using the reusable plastic bags. One step closer to my plastic free life

These bags are so handy for shopping. They come in a choice of two sizes for different sized trollies. I have bought both sets so that my friend can use the shallower ones and I can use the deep ones. As my friend is 5 foot and I am 5 foot 7 inches, this is ideal because she cannot reach into the bottom of large trolleys like I am able to do so and are so easy to suspend from the sides of the trolleys – Brilliant!!

Just taken delivery of the pastel coloured bags to compliment the base coloured ones we have had for years. The best thing is that they all connect together seamlessly, so for even bigger shops we can use all the big bags together. (Tip for the guys, when I do the shopping, the wife looks at what I bring in and still sees 4 bags…………but hey, I’ve snuck in 25% more goodies!!!!)
