GOGOODA Upgraded Version 15 Pcs Reusable Produce Bags, 3 Size Lightweight Washable and See Through Mesh Produce Bags with Drawstring, Toggle Tare Weight Color Tag, Color Band for Easy to Pick …

We purchased these because, quite honestly, when I wear a mask to go food shopping I cannot lick my fingers to open the plastic bags used to hold vegetables! Saving on the use of those plastic bags was an afterthought to be honest. I would stand in the vegetable section struggling to open those bags! lol So, these are very light - they won't add anything to the weight of the vegetables so I am not worried about that at all. They appear strong enough for a mesh bag and each have drawstrings to close. I like the fact that the bags come in various sizes as I like to purchase broccoli rabe (try it!) and that even has a hard time fitting into the store's plastic bags. I'll update my review after I've used them a few times, but all looks good and I'm very satisfied with the purchase.

The bags perform well. They are easy to see through to see the stickers on the produce. They are big and hold more produce than I was expecting. They seem to be holding up well. I've been throwing them in the laundry every week too. I let them air dry instead of using the heated dryer, and they dry very quickly. My only complaint is that the tag has the bag's weight in ounces instead of pounds. Only one of the stores that I go to with these will subtract the bag's weight for me, but they want the weight in pounds instead of ounces. I suppose my only other complaint would be that half the time I forget to bring them when I go grocery shopping. But that's just something I'm still needing to get use to even after having them for a few months.

I mostly use these bags for grocery shopping instead of the flimsy bags that Trader's Joes provides. I like to take my own shopping bags and one of them has a large side pocket, where I can stash these when not in use. I find them easy to use with the drawstring and various sizes. I mostly use the medium, which is 12"x 14"...it holds 9 large oranges or 9 small grapefruits. The large size is useful for larger items, although there are just 3 of those at 12"x 16". There are 3 small bags, sized at 11.5" x 7.5" which I use to store my smaller items like lemons & cukes after I take them out of the manufacture's plastic bags. I have noticed that those English cucumbers which I like, do seem to last longer stored in these bags....can't tell you how many I have had to toss in the compost when they went bad before I could use them! This alone makes the purchase worthwhile to me. Also, usually plastic bags will tear or open up with all the produce rolling loose. These bags have a handy little button lock to prevent that from happening. As, I really don't buy enough to use all the bags, I have started using a few of the medium size to store odd shaped items as I go through my house trying to get it organized. Probably, the only drawback to using them for this, is that the bags are mostly opaque, so that it isn't easy to see what is inside. I am thinking of making some large size labels for those items. With the produce, I just leave the bags open in the fridge, so I can see the items stored easily. I could see that these bags would be really useful to packing small or medium size item when traveling, making packing and unpacking much easier. I got a note from the manufacture of these bags that even if the bags had a problem, that they would take care of it. No problems so far, but I thought that was a nice touch.

These are a great way to reduce the use of plastics...as well as being able to stuff all your veggies conveniently in the store. There are really only two complaints I have for these baggies, hence the one star deduction. Pros: Great way to reduce plastic usage. Drawstring closure makes it easy to keep everything in place without spilling all over the place. Easy to clean. Shows how much the bag itself weighs so you don't get charged more at checkout. Cons: The mesh makes it slightly harder to read certain tags on produce (like the tiny labels on apples) If stored in the fridge too long, it makes the veggies 'floppy' (I've had this happen with broccoli and carrots) I'm not sure if the 'floppy' veggie problem is unique only to my area and humidity/fridge, but it is definitely something to think of when storing these. The floppy problem hasn't prevented me from using the veggies, because they still taste good and work just fine. But if you need a stiff carrot for a certain dish and all you have a flaccid produce...it could be an annoyance. All in all? Great buy!!

If you are like me, you hate the plastic bag roll found in the produce section. They are hard to find the opening for, flimsy and they are plastic which winds up in the landfill. These bags are reusable, the produce in them can be scanned through the bag and they are washable. The mesh is very tight so all your produce remains in the bag once you pull the string to tighten the closure. When you get home, no plastic bags to remove and throw out. Highly recommend!

I purchased this as I'm making a conscious effort to not use plastic bags where I can. I use these at the grocery story and farmer's market for produce style purchases. They are made very well and sturdy and even heavy items haven't caused a problem. The drawstring tightens very well and does have a secure lock thing to keep things from falling out. I keep the lock off during the shopping trips to make it easier for the checkout person to scan any bar codes. Even without the lock, because of the overall size of the bags, nothing falls out when filled due to the weight. They really are great. the sizes are also perfect but they do run larger, so having more of the smaller/medium sized ones would be great. Overall though, you'll be very happy with these if the use is what you need. The other bonus, the fabric is not thin, so you could use these for other things like travel packing.

I have really wanted to start eliminating plastic from my life and this seemed like a small way to start. When I first received the bags, I noticed some greyish spots on the medium size bags. The spots looked like mildew, like they had been in a wet box or something. Inside the package was a card asking how the quality was with an email. I sent an email and pictures to the company and they immediately offered to send out a replacement set. I really only needed the medium bags, but received an entire set quickly. Had that card not been in the package, I doubt I would have taken the time to look up the contact info. I would have been somewhat dissatisfied and never recommended or purchased from this company again. Bravo to Gogooda for proactively seeking feedback. The bags themselves are great. Not only have I used them for produce, but the large size are large enough to carry other groceries. They are almost as big as a regular plastic grocery bag. These bags are stronger that the plastic ones! I appreciate the tare weight being on the bag, but none of the cashiers at my regular grocery store took notice at all. I don't mind. It isn't that much. If it mattered to be, I am sure they could figure it out.

Cons: These bags slow down my check-out time. The bags are not see-through and the scanner cannot scan through them. The cashier has to open the bag or really look hard, pressing the bag against the produce sticker in order to read it. The tare weight is pointless - expect that you will pay for the weight of the bag (it's fine, they're light). The drawstrings are not color-coded as the photo shows. Also, the smallest size of bag is a strange shape, I'm not sure what produce is meant to fit in them (maybe 2 zucchini or one long sweet potato?). Drawstrings are fraying a bit after ~10 uses. Pros: Good value because you get a ton of bags. And obviously they're not that bad, because I still use them!

Only 9 bags arrived, not 15! Don't waste your money, I feel robbed. The material of the bags is too thin a well.
