5.0 I carry two of these bags, plus two of the Riesent
Comments about Product:
I carry two of these bags, plus two of the Riesenthal Mini Maxi Haulers (long-handled) in my purse at all times. These are the bags I use - not at the grocery store, where I use my Earth Totes, Pack-N-Totes, Wave Totes, XL Hemp Bags, or whatever bags I decided to use that day - but when I visit smaller stores such as the local pottery shop, the craft store, the shoe repair shop, book store, hardware store, the library, the convenience store, etc. It's been my experience that these smaller non-grocery shopping trips use at least as many, and often more, total bags than the trips to the grocery stores. Do the math: Think about how often we stop at fast-food restaurants or convenience stores and how many bags - paper or plastic - we get from those places. Not requiring bags from these places not only helps the environment, but it also helps the smaller, locally-owned businesses. It's usually the smaller businesses who spend more money per bag by using nicer bags and having their logos on those bags. If you've ever priced those bags, you've noticed they're much more expensive than the bags given out at the grocery stores. While I get strange looks from the clerks at the fast-food places and the convience stores, the folks at the small, locally-owned business (usually the owners) always thank me for bringing my own bags. That said - I purchased my bags perhaps a year ago, and have used them constantly since. They are so lightweight that it is no problem at all to keep them with me at all times and they have held up wonderfully, showing no signs of wear. Excellent product!
