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.
How to Wash
Remove the poles, machine wash on cold and air dry.

Great bags loving them some additional touches would be good like a small white strip on each bag at the top to label what gose in ie tins, general ect…. and a valcro strip to hold the bags rolled up then I think it would be perfect. But thanks made my shopping fun and easy.

We’re very happy with the bags. They’re easy to pack and lift from the trolley to the car. Perhaps some type of insert for keeping frozen food cool would be a great addition in future.

Having read some of the other reviews I must agree that the handles are a bit too long and do jut out, also the two largest bags are much too deep and are likely to be Hernia Causing if lifted when full.
I would like to see an insulated bag , nothing too elaborate, possibly No.1 size for carrying cold and frozen products and bottles / containers of milk.
We are most pleased with our trolley bags, but No.3 is the largest we are likely to use, the No.4 requires a pack horse to carry it , even when half full.

I love the idea of these bags and they certainly made shopping at Aldi’s much simpler and quicker. However like a lot of people have said I also find them a little too deep. They are also difficult to pack in an orderly fashion as the mesh sides don’t hold your shopping neatly in place. One last little annoying factor is the material they are made of rips quite easily, as I discovered on my first outing with them when the poles at the top of one of the bags caught my front door and ripped.

These are great. No more struggling to open supermarket bags (if you have forgotten your own) No hassle. Just place straight into the already open bags. Bought one for a friend as well as so impressed

These bags make our shopping so much easier. They are very deep as other people have commented but I find it isn’t necessary to fill them as they hold so much. Also it’s sensible to put the heavier things in the smallest bag. I wouldn’t be without them now. I love the bright colours and we have had several comments asking about them from other shoppers.

Love these bags make shopping so much easier now, I actually don’t mind shopping now especially at Aldi

Great bags. It takes me longer at the moment due to people asking me where I got them from.
It’s great no more repetitive bending over trolley and lifting heavy things.
Scan item, put in the trolley bag, load into the car, unload from car and put in cupboard. What could be better.
Colour coded makes it easier too.
Thank you, good job ????

Concept is great, build quality is great, ease of packing is great. However:
1) They are rather too big to be carried easily when full as they are long enough to drag on the ground (no, I’m not short)
2) They are rather too big to fill up as they are ridiculously heavy to lift
3) The support bars stick out rather a long way and I get dirty looks from people who have to move out of my way when shopping.
I would love to see a shallower version and also ones with retractable or folding support bars.

Love these bags so much and love the look on people’s faces envious of my bags! Only change I would make are shorter bars as when the shops are busy they tend to poke other people
