Weigh & Store Bags

I think these are fantastic...I have never had a problem with the zips. I am known in my local supermarket as the lady with the Lakeland bags and all the checkout girls think they are great. The only down side is that I could do with a bigger size!!

I too have these bags which I have had for some time now. I have also experienced the same problem with the zips bursting when full of produce. I have had lots of checkout assistants asking me "are these your own bags" and then "where can I get some". These are a fab idea as I am addicted to recycling but the zips need to be stronger. Surprised to read the review regarding the additional cost of produce by using the bags - will check this out next grocery shop.

Weigh & Store Bags

every time I shop i receive positive comments regarding my weigh & store bags, and i always tell people where i bought them. the bags are big, light & survive the washing machine. the only complaint is that one of the zips broke, but this may have been due to too many apples being added to the bag.

This is a good idea and the bags are breathable and sturdy. But the zips on three of the six bags broke almost immediately.

I purchased two packs of these having tried to find alternatives to the plastic bags that supermarkets provide for a long time. Have only used one pack so far but two of the zips broke on the first use. The bags were not overpacked as most of the time I only shop for my husband and myself - so was slightly disappointed. I like them - perhaps an alternative to the zips would be a good idea!!

I bought these bags earlier this year to put my new year's resolution of using fewer plastic bags into practice. And it has been going well, as these are now used to carry home my loose veg, especially onions, which are much cheaper loose than pre-packaged. They also get me talking to checkout staff and fellow customers, who are all very jealous and looking slightly sheepish at using lots of plastic bags. Now he's spotted an opportunity to claim the moral highground, my husband will make sure we bring them along for every shop... ;-) I am happy to recommend these little bags, with only one little reservation. You know when you weigh your shopping and print a little sticky label? Well, they don't stick to these bags, so if there is ever going to be re-design, please can we have an area for sticky labels? Not too good, mind you, so the stickers come off again and the bags can be reused. In the meantime, if you fold them over, the labels usually stay near the bags, at least until after the goods have been paid for.

These are really useful in the supermarket and it's amazing how many fewer plastic bags I'm throwing out. They have another use too - if you like the sort of bath bombs that have seaweed, flower petals etc in them, you'll be familiar with the blocked plughole afterwards. To avoid this, simply pop the bath bomb in one of these bags and drop it in the bath. Hey presto, all the nice essential oils dissolve into the water but the bits stay in the bag. Let it dry and then turn it inside out over the bin to empty the bits.
