Trolley Bags Review

Hi everyone!

If you follow me on social media (mainly Facebook) you may of seen this image:

Yes it's my crazy mother - but we brought ourselves something to help us with our weekly shop: Trolley Bags. Since the 5p bag charge was introduced in the UK in October, having to ensure that we have reusable bags with us for every shop seemed a bit of a pain. We're frequent on using scan as you shop and gradually as we shop the trolley gets heavy and everything gets jumbled together in different bags - which then makes an even longer trip of getting them out of the car to the house. 

So on one un productive day, scrolling through social media I stumbled upon a video advertising these bags.

At first I thought they were just dividers for your trolley - but nope, they were bags. Excited to see something new on the market that hasn't been seen before (what has this blog even come to at this point - I got excited about bags!) I ordered one and waited for delivery. This took about a week - since they suddenly became popular due to the video that I had just seen 20 minutes previously. Once arrived we did our first shop!

I personally think the design of these bags works really well since you can divide your shopping up into 4 separate sections: orange, green, red and blue. They're all different sizes - larger and lightweight products in the orange and heavy small items (like cans) in the blue. Although this works and there is an official system for each - it seems like there needs to effectively be one more bag for things like biscuits and confectionary! I think whoever buys these will have their own little system to get used to - 3 weeks into having these bags and it seems like we still have no clue which goes where!

I do love the fact that they separate by velcro into four different bags - saves you going to and from the car to the house all the time.

I think they definitely are a good purchase and I hope to see them more common in supermarkets in the near future! Especially for people (such as my dad) who like to stay organised and know where everything is.
