Make Grocery Shopping Easier with Lotus Trolley Bags

Are you someone who shops with reusable bags? Back in 2010, I started moving to my family using reusable bags, especially after reading more research on how plastic bags were hurting the environment. Before then, we weren’t really in a position to afford spending the money on bags, but it felt like the right thing to do, especially when I was shopping more at stores that didn’t provide their own bags or boxes. My biggest problem with reusable bags, however, was that they were huge, bulky, and very difficult to bring in stores, unless I wanted to fill my ENTIRE cart with bags. While I recently found other bags that don’t take up so much space, it is still difficult to organize and bag things in the grocery store, especially with Kroger now moving to a scan and go system as you shop. Luckily, I recently found the perfect solution for not only having reusable bags, but a full system to organize my groceries too – the Lotus Trolley Bag System!

Lotus Trolley Bag System: Our Thoughts

As someone who loves using reusable bags, I couldn’t wait to try out the Lotus Trolley Bag System. While the bags seemed a bit bulky due to the rods, this is also what made them so very practical. Carrying them from the car seemed a bit odd with the width of the rods, but they fit perfectly in just about any normal cart. All you had to do was have the rods balancing on each side of the cart, and filled them as needed. We tested these multi-purpose bags at Sam’s Club and Trader Joe’s. What I found was that the bags were extremely easy to use, mobile, and seemed never-ending in size. While they seem somewhat small at first glance, they are absolutely huge when loaded! I also never had a concern of them falling apart due to weight with the double-reinforced stitching. Best of all, was the very large cooler bag. It was roughly the size of a standard club bag, but far more practical, allowing us to fit so many freezer and refrigerated items in the bag. I also loved the wine and egg pockets in each of the bags, helping keep various, delicate items safe as we go. Honestly, after trying them out for the weekend, I am planning on tossing (or donating) the majority of my reusable bags since the Lotus Trolley Bag System are just so much more practical and useful!  The only issue we had was the wider cart size at Sam’s Club – while they hold things very well there, the rods were just not quite long enough to get both sides of a Club cart.  They work perfectly at Trader Joe’s, and would definitely fit most normal grocery carts, as advertised.
