If you're looking for bags inspired by the original Bogg Bag that won't break the bank – we have found the BEST one out there!
Bogg Bag Lookalikes
Looking for a more cost-effective alternative to the super popular Bogg Bags? Aldi's got a brand new bag in this week – it's the Serra Haul It All Tote and it comes in Pink, Blue & Teal for only $22.99! These are a little smaller than the large size Bogg bags – but for 1/4 of the cost they're a great option.
And honestly they're PLENTY BIG as is! PPP Team member Christina was excited to spot these in her local store and saw them being bought up just in the few moments she was there!
The Serra Haul it All Totes have a rigid design that helps keep it upright in the trunk, or on the beach – and great for taking your kids to the pool or the park! Homeschool moms also love these bags for hefting all their supplies around – but I think teachers might also love these!
For $22.99 – this is an extremely cost effective way to get a Bogg-bag type of tote for Summer. See more recent ALDI FINDS this way!
If you want the look of a Bogg Bag but not the price, here are some MORE very similar ones available:
1. Time and Tru Women’s Molded Beach Tote Bag
CLEARANCE ALERT! 🚨 First – this bag is super cute and only $14.50 right now (Reg. $25). It's currently only available online in the red colors – and ONLY for a few of our team members – so hurry and grab one while you can!
Don't they look like watermelon colors though?? Perfect for summer! 🍉 It measures 16.5” W x 11.5” H x 4.75” D, has dual shoulder straps, and a spacious interior to hold all your essentials! Plus, the perforated, molded design ensures the bag stays clean and dry!
2. Crown & Ivy Bag – $34.99 – $44.99 (Reg. $60 – $80)
Our second pick for a nice Bogg Bag lookalike is this Crown & Ivy Tote from Belk. It's currently on sale as low as $34.99 – $39.99 in select colors – regularly $60 – $70! The dimensions are 18.5″ W x 13″ H x 9.5″ D – which is big and spacious!
Belk just got in TONS of new colors too – love the bright yellow one…
PPP Team Member Misty has this one and had this to say!
My mom bought this bag for me and I love it! It's cute and the size is just right – I look forward to using it this Summer!
Here's another Bogg-inspired beach bag that I got a couple Summer's ago and has held up really well!
3. Simply Southern Large Tote Bag
My personal favorite is the Simply Southern Large Tote Bag. It's not cheap – but at around $70 it's a far sight less expensive than the original Bogg. Mine is Arctic Blue.
It's big (bigger than I thought when I ordered for sure!) and sturdy and will hold all our beach towels and more – I loved having it this summer on our beach trip!
- Reviewers say the handles don't twist as much as Bogg Bags
- You can get accessories like Crocs has to change out the handle and add “plugs”
I first saw this tote in a Facebook group I'm in – I was impressed with its size and it just seemed like a fun bag! Picture above courtesy of Echo – who uses it to haul supplies to her homeschool co-op 🙂
Why the popularity around Bogg bags anyway?
Bogg Bags are CRAZY popular for toting to the beach, homeschool co-op or shopping excursions. They're big and sturdy and don't fall over – but WHEW are they pricey!
For the real deal, you're looking at spending around $100 – $140 or so for the best selling XL Bogg Bag.
P.S. Your friendly reminder that TJ Maxx Bags are 99¢!
If the budget just won't allow a splurge for the popular XL beach bags – keep in mind that TJMaxx has their giant tote bags on sale for 99¢ every day 🙂 They're very roomy, fairly waterproof, and pretty tough. As a penny pincher – I say there's no shame in the TJMaxx Beach Bag game!
I'd love to hear about your favorite beach or tote bag – and leave me a comment if you have one of the ones we mentioned above to tell us how you like it!
Do you think the Bogg bag trays will fit in them?
I’m not sure. The shape seems a little different than the name brand Bogg Bag. This one seems smaller at the bottom but taller. Hope that helps! 🙂
Thanks for sending this email- just bought the last tote at Aldi in that beautiful teal color. I’m super excited with how big it is and plan on using it for pool days.
Woohoo! So glad you were able to snag one!
Purchased 4 Simply Southern Large Totes for Easter gifts and my daughters love them. Beautiful colors. Palmetto Moon has them on sale for $34.99 and I received free shipping.
I was an early purchaser of the Bogg bag when they were “only” $70-ish. It does hold a lot. It doesn’t fall over. You can hose it off and put after a beach trip to remove all traces of sand. We go to the pool multiple times a week. It’s been well used and looks exactly the same as the day I bought it. But it is so heavy and now that my kids are older, why am I carrying their stuff?
