I picked one of these up today as a gift but ended up using it for my own shopping, I found it to be strong and it held a lot of shopping.
What makes it so good is that it clips to the inside of your shopping trolley so when you are at the checkout and your stuff has been scanned you just place your haul back in the trolley with no need to get in a fuss with carrier bags.
Saves time at the checkout and also from the trolley to the car/bus or even hoverboard.
There is even a little pocket inside you could use to keep your shopping list or vouchers in.
I'm not sure if it's a feature in all of these but there was a little silver plastic token inside the purse bit which I think you could use as a trolley token.

Let's see if I've got the handle on this: it's a bag, you can put stuff that you buy in it, it's quite heavy, it has a pocket and an immitation pound coin, it costs a quid, it can be given as a gift, or bought for selling on ebay at a huge mark-up. What an utterly brilliant concept. Where has this been all my life? Did I miss an episode of Dragon's Den? I'm so looking forward to seeing my missus' overjoyed face when she receives hers on the 25th. Sold. Heat from me. Obviously.

I purchased one when these were £1.50 in Home Bargains. Great for shop and scan. However it's very heavy when filled so is only useful when you use it to transport things in a car. It's will be too heavy to carry on the bus/hook onto the pram when filled. HTH's.

Only if you fill it with heavy stuff :wink: seriously though I used mine on the bus and what I will say is the handle can be uncomfortable but I did have a lot of tins and milk in there.
I can certainly reccomend this for bulky packs of loo roll or nappies etc.
I would also avoid hooking bags on a pram, not only because it voids your warranty but it's so easy for it to tip them. :man:

I've found that mine don't stretch and clip across the trolley very well but had lots of heavy things in and was strong enough to transport from car to home.

I will look out for these - they sound great.
I would not worry about the weight ,but transfer the heaviest items to another shopping bag at the car

My mum had these bags at least 25 years ago. Not sure why they arent more popular.
