Grocery Trolley Bags
I've allllways wanted to try out the expandable shopping cart bags that help you bag your groceries as you shop. Especially as an Aldi shopper – since I have to checkout and bag my own groceries, I thought these bags could be even more of a time saver!
Since I hit Aldi every week – I spent my last few grocery trips trying out these highly-rated Lotus Trolley Bags. (They're on sale right now for $10 OFF the ones I got!) I got stopped THREE TIMES my first time using them with people wanting to know where I got them – I felt like a lady who had her act together! (I hear that people who do scan and go love these bags even more than the rest of us) Here's what I learned…
Start by picking the right size trolley-bags for your store:
- Lotus Extra Wide 3-Bag Set (These are the ones I got for my Aldi trips!)
*Works for Aldi, Costco, Sam's Club and HEB carts - Lotus Regular Size 4-Bag Set
*Works for the shopping carts at Target, Publix, Kroger, and Albertsons
How the trolley bags work:
- Convenient Storage
The Lotus trolley bags are stored rolled around one another in a compact little bundle that is secured by velcro. When you're ready to shop – just grab them out of your trunk and drop them into your buggy. - Setup
The bag system opens accordion style to cover the length of your whole buggy! Each bag is velcroed to the one next to it – so they stay together on the buggy. - Let the bags help you organize your groceries!
– Use the bags with mesh bottoms for produce and other pantry staples
– Use the insulated bag for your cold items
– Use the Mesh egg pocket to keep eggs (or smaller items) secure
– Use the Bottle Pockets for any glass bottles (To keep them safe from breaking) - Trunk Loading:
Take each individual bag off the cart and place in the trunk. They'll be WAYYYY too heavy to try and lift the whole thing off all at the same time. Ask me how I know…. The tops of the bags velcro shut to keep things from spilling and to keep the cold stuff cold. - Carrying
Grab each full bag by the handle to carry from the trunk to the house. They can hold a LOT – up to 50lbs each!
The verdict?
These bags are convenient, innovative, and STURDY. I was surprised and pleased at how well they worked and how much more quickly I got from the checkout line to my trunk with them helping me keep things organized!
