Order came quickly and correctly. Love my new shopping bags, both the hemp bags and the ones that fold up like a brown paper bag.

I ordered the sampler set when I moved into a small city apartment. I like having several different bags to choose from depending on where I'm shopping and how much I'm buying. This set covers it all! The sturdy yellow bags are great for large heavy trips. I can get a whole weeks worth of groceries into these along with wine bottles or soda cans. The store clerks appreciate that they can stand by themselves- I have to tell them to pack it heavy- it can handle it! They clean up great too- just used a damp sponge. The hemp bags are nice for smaller trips or going to the park or gym. The straps are long enough to go over my shoulder (I'm not small:). They also wash nicely. The tiny bags are also great. I throw these in my purse and use them for quick trips during lunch or after work. Everyone in my office is amazed when I pull them out. They look like a black plastic grocery bag from far away but they hold a lot more. I highly recommend this set!

I gave five of my family members this sampler set for Christmas after one said to me at Thanksgiving, "What else can we do to help the environment?" after carrying in some food in a plastic grocery store bag. I picked this set because in offering a pair of bags in three sizes and types it has something for every shopping occasion. As they stand up while you load them, the large bags are everything you'd hope for in a grocery bag but would benefit from the addition of long straps that could be used to tie them closed. The hemp bags have that feature and look like they will be very useful in various shopping situations. The small bags seemed rather small in capacity and difficult to fold back up into the integrated cases until you practice how to get it right. Knowing my family members, these bags will never again be folded into their cases. As an experienced reusable bag user, if I had been getting this set for me I would have loved everything but appreciated having a larger version of the small bags. I use some similar bags that were sold for cheap by the Dominic's food store chain in suburban Chicago that have a greater capacity and fold more easily. However, the fabric is not quite as thick as these and they might not hold up as long. It would be great to have the best of both worlds.

The ACME workhorse bags are very small and easy to stick anywhere. You could stick it in your pocket before you go in store they are so small. They feel really thin and light but seem to be able to carry heavy items fine. The handles are broad and comfortable to carry, even for my kids. The hemp totes I haven't used much yet but they seem well constructed. I expect to use them more at farmer's markets. I really like the second set of handles. The earth totes are great for groceries. They are not as rigid as I expected they would be but with a little persistence you can get them to stand up alone. They carry nicely I think because of the "boxy" design and wide handles. The weight feels even and much different from plastic bags that sometimes feel like they will give out. You can easily place 2 side by side in a normal sized shopping cart. I purchased this set along with the ACME recycled PET sampler set and I am using the earth totes the most because they are the most rigid for grocery packing, but happy to have the other floppy ones for milk jugs and large items. They all fold up and compress very well. I would recommend any of them to friends.

This is a great set to start out with. I am able to fit everything, or almost everything, I buy in one trip in these bags. They are well constructed. So far, after 3 weeks, I have not had any rips or tears. They seem to be perfect for all my shopping needs!

I bought this set several months ago because I wasn't sure which type of bag I'd prefer. I thought I'd like the black compact bags, but I really preferred the heavy yellow bags. They hold as much as 2 regular store paper bags or 4 times as much as the store plastic bags. They are comfortable to hold, even filled. They stay standing upright in my vehicle. The hemp bags are great for milk or juice. The black bags go into my purse for non-grocery shopping. I'm glad I ordered this set.

I originally bought the sampler set back in February and has come to rely on them. They are all extremely well built and have withstood all the abuse I can throw at them. I have recommended them to all my friends and recently got 3 more sets for family members.

I purchased the sampler to try different bags to see which were work best for grocery shopping. The tall insulated brown bags definately at the way to go. They hold about the amount of 5-6 small plastic bags. They are nice and strong. I will be purchasing a couple more of the brown bags.

The shopping bag sampler is great! You get to see which one you like the best. Mine is the paper sack size bag. It's very sturdy and stands well in your trunk or back seat. I especially like the quality of the bags and they don't have enormous logos displaying stores names. I will definitly buy more for family and friends.

I just finished a marathon shopping trip, and the bags hit the mark in every way. People asked where to get such functional bags, and I gladly passed this site along. This is the perfect set for all my shopping needs.

Love the bags, love the website and love the customer service. My bags arrived quickly and I am very pleased with their quality. We use them all the time. They are strong and don't forget, washable. I am especially fond of the ultra compact bag since I can carry it in my purse and always have it available. Thanks you guys...

What a terrific way to try various styles! I couldn't decide and after using them for almost a month, I still don't know which is my favorite. Each shape holds different things better and they take up minimal space when I store them in the car (so they're always handy). Husband even took one as an overnight bag for him and my son to some soccer games. The variety is great!

I love all the bags in the Sampler Set. It was hard at first remembering to bring the bags in the store but a couple of trips back out to the car fixed that.
