14 Reusable Grocery Bags From Amazon That Are Absolutely Worth It

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links.

There are a few things you need for a great grocery shopping experience, no matter where you're shopping: an efficient list, your wallet, and more reusable bags than you think you'll need. Not too long ago, grocery stores provided paper or plastic bags to customers. But now, to cut down on single-use bags, some states and chains have started charging customers extra for them. While the effects of these bag bans have been called into question, there's no denying that reusable bags are a far better option than these cheap and flimsy alternatives. Not only can you cut down on your personal single-waste footprint by using them for your regular shopping, but they're also less likely to break when you pack them a little too heavy. 

There are many shapes, styles, and types of reusable bags out there. To give you some suggestions on bags that might work for your regular grocery runs, we took to Amazon and scoured hundreds of customer reviews to find the most durable, stylish, and versatile bags worth adding to your cart.

It's fair to say that everyone needs more than one reusable grocery bag. This set of three grocery bags from the Creative Green Life Store is a great buy for several reasons. For one, each bag can carry up to 10 normal grocery store bag's worth of stuff, and they stand up independently, making stacking your groceries inside them easy. Not only does this make them easier to pack, but it also means the bags won't shift around when they're in the trunk of your car on your way home. 

The bags come in several colors and designs and are made with the same heavy-duty material. When you're ready to store the bags, simply fold up the edges and tuck them into the trunk, cabinet, or any space where you need to store them. They're great for folks on the go — or anyone who dislikes picking up their fallen-over groceries when they arrive at their final destination.

The last thing you want your grocery bags to do is break when you move them from your cart to your car. Luckily, Veno is all about durability. These bags are one of the most long-lasting selections on this list and boast a large 8.7-gallon capacity. Each bag can hold up to 45 pounds of groceries. Its straps are 12 inches long, which means that it's large enough to sling over your shoulder if you're carrying something light or need to use two hands if you have an extra long grocery list to contend with. 

There are several different colors to choose from, so you'll have no problem finding a Veno bag to match your aesthetic. And, you can feel good about buying these bags, seeing that they're made, in part, with post-consumer materials and come with a small size pocket to hold your phone and/or wallet while you shop.

We've all had the experience of packing our grocery bags just a little too full. If you pick up an especially heavy one from the strap, you may risk ripping off a strap and having to throw the whole thing in the trash. The regular and side straps on the bag feature reinforced rivets, reducing the risk of them ripping. Each bag holds up to 29 pounds, so while it is not the most heavyweight-capable item on this list, it's still worthy of note. 

The bags can be collapsed and stored easily when not in use, and there are plenty of color and design options to choose from. Use it for groceries, take it to the beach, or pack away children's toys. They're surely useful for more than just your weekly (or daily) trip to the store.

One of the most frustrating experiences in life is filling up your grocery cart and getting to the checkout to realize that you forgot your reusable bags in the car. But these small, foldable totes from BeeGreen make it easy to have one with you at all times. When you're not using them to pick up and transport your groceries — or whatever else you need to carry — simply tuck them into the little pocket and store them away in a purse, backpack, or the side panel of your car. 

There are a whopping 33 different color sets to choose from — though these bags just aren't about appearances. Each bag can hold up to 50 pounds of groceries and is made with rip-stop polyester, which means it's in for the long haul. One of the best things about these bags is that if you have a spill, you can toss them in your washing machine to clean them. They're a great gift, party favor, or Amazon essential for any shopper.

Who said your reusable tote couldn't be a fashion statement? These cute bags are one of the most reasonably priced sets on this list, but their low price isn't indicative of their quality in any way. Each bag can hold upwards of 50 pounds of groceries. The stitched handle and reinforced edges ensure that you get tons of life out of your bag, and like some of the others on this list, it's easy to tuck this one away in its respective pouch when not in use. They're also machine washable, which makes cleaning them a breeze. 

There are 11 different sets to choose from, and they're cute enough to replace your regular purse or tote. While there certainly isn't the same number of bags to choose from as brands like BeeGreen, the fact that it's about half the price makes it an option worth considering, especially if you're trying to do cute on a budget.

One of the golden rules of food safety? Keep hot food hot and cold food cold. This insulated tote bag set from Baleine helps you do just that. Each pack comes with two matching bags, which are insulated on all sides to ensure that the goods inside stay at (or near) the temperature they were when they went in. The bags are 16 inches by 9 inches by 13 inches, meaning they can certainly hold their fair share of groceries. The handles are also cross-stitched to maximize their durability. The reinforced stitching on the base seams reduces the risk of the bottom falling out of the bag. 

While these insulated bags aren't cheap, especially compared to the more budget-friendly multi-packs on this list, the fact that they are insulated and made with high-quality material makes them a worthwhile buy. Plus, you only need to keep a few on hand; provided that you can pack your groceries right, you can maximize the insulated space you have to work with and pack the rest of your non-temperate items in a separate bag.

There is something oddly aesthetic about cotton mesh grocery bags. If you like showing off what you scooped up from Aldi's Aisle of Shame – or buying produce you want to hang from the bag rather than leave on your counter, this set might be worth looking at. A pack of three bags is reasonably priced, and folks who purchased them from Amazon share that their material is high-quality. They can also stretch to accommodate more items, which is good news for anyone who likes to shop with their hearts rather than a grocery list. 

The bags are machine washable and can be hung up to dry in between uses. They're also made with organic cotton, a big draw for folks steering away from plastic or polyester materials. While you can't fit some small items into these bags, considering the size of the holes, the bags are still practical enough to accommodate most of your purchases, from produce and snacks to meats.

This Liviable reusable shopping tote has one interesting feature that not many of the other bags on this list have: a comfortable carrying handle. When you sling this sizable bag over your shoulder, you don't have to worry about one of the handles either awkwardly falling down or shimmy up your arms. This bag can also hold more than many others on this list: 55 pounds if it's carried by the top handle and about 20 pounds when by the sides. It's 16 inches long and 10 inches wide, meaning it's large enough to accommodate most items. 

The one big drawback of Liviable's tote bags is that their colors and sizes are inconsistent. For example, only single and double tote bag options come in one color, while the 3-packs come in two color choices: brown or navy. It's far from the most creatively designed bag on this list, but it does its job well.

Want to know a secret hack for getting the largest reusable grocery bag possible? Look for ones that are specifically made for food and pizza deliveries. This Bodaon food delivery bag comes in several different size options. The extra large bag is 16 inches by 13 inches by 9 inches, while the extra large bag gives you a little more wiggle room at 23 inches by 15 inches by 15 inches. This might be more room than you really need from your grocery bag, but it's always better to have a little more space than not enough. And, for folks who need to transport awkwardly-shaped items, you can even check out the brands 20 inches by 20 inches by 8 inches bag. 

Since they're designed to transport restaurant food, they're insulated — and customers are generally happy with how well they keep food at temperature. It's also incredibly easy to keep these insulated bags sanitary with wipes. Lastly, the price is also incredibly reasonable for the size and quality of the bag you're getting, and even if you aren't using it for its intended purpose, you can probably find a way to get something out of it.

Not all grocery totes have to be rectangular. This trapezoid-shaped option from Lhkz is designed to be durable and fit for more than just lugging your groceries around. It is made with 600D water-resistant and dirt-proof Oxford fabric and fully insulated with 8 millimeters of foam and PEVA foil. The linen handles and cross-stitching will prevent it from breaking prematurely, and it seems like Lhkz has invested more time in developing a quality zipper than some of the other brands on this list. Another thing we love about it is the convenient side pocket, which is large enough to store a wallet, phone, and more. 

Folks who have purchased this bag share a lot about its overall insulation capacity and note that it helps cold groceries stay cold. It's durable and comfy to carry, and while it only comes in three color options (two shades of grey, blue, and black), it's ideal for someone who values function over form when it comes to reusable bags.

Reusable bags have two common rip spots: the handles and the zippers. And, if you don't have a working zipper on your insulated bag, then it's probably not doing a great job of insulating anything. 

Luckily, Tainess has solved this problem with its velcro-sealed bag. It comes in two color options and can be bought as a two-pack. Given the lengthy positive feedback about these bags, you'll want to upgrade and buy a few for your home. The outside of the bags are made with durable Oxford cloth, while the inside is stuffed with cotton insulation and foil coating. It also has hard cardboard edges, meaning you won't have to worry about the bags falling over during transit. Folks who have purchased it find that it is easy to unfurl and shape and that it keeps their food at temperature well. Not to mention, it's a really nice-looking bag that honestly looks more high-end than it actually is.

Your grocery bags don't always have to have a ton of frills — after all, it's what's in them that counts. These simple bags from Organic Cotton Mart come in a pack of one, two, or three and in two colors — beige and blue-and-white striped. Each bag has six bottle sleeves tucked along its inside edges, which prevents your wine bottles, olive oil, and the like from crashing into one another, falling over, or breaking. Not only does this make it a great grocery bag, but it also means that you can repurpose it for picnics or trips to the liquor store.

The reusable tote is about the size of a standard paper bag (14.5 inches by 13 inches by 8 inches), but durable handles and material allow you to transport much more weight than a flimsy paper bag. The organic, unbleached cotton can be washed in a standard machine, making for an easy cleaning.

One of our favorite holiday season hacks? Instead of gifting people items in wrapping paper, which just gets tossed out in the trash, put your gifts inside a tote bag — like these beautiful ones from Ausvkai. Not only do you cut down on wasted wrapping paper, but folks will have a reusable bag to use throughout the year. 

And, we wouldn't blame you if you bought one of these bags just for yourself, too. There are a whopping 20 designs to choose from, including everything from Van Gogh prints and flowers to teacher-related prints. The bag is made with 100% cotton and is 100% machine-washable. It's also 15 inches by 16.5 inches, making it a decent size for a canvas tote bag. If you sling it over your shoulder in the self-checkout line, you're bound to get some compliments on it.

There are two types of people at the grocery store: cart people and the sling-whatever-I-can-in-the-bag-I-came-with people (we are the latter, as you may have guessed). But, depending on what you're buying, it can get heavy. Luckily, Hulken's reusable grocery bag is here to help. It has durable, swivel wheels and a side handle that allow you to pull it behind you as you shop. The brand touts its handles as "unbreakable" (confirmed by a large majority of reviewers), and it comes in three different size options. The largest bag can fit five grocery bags' worth of items. This is perfect for those who hate making multiple trips to the car when they're ready to unload their groceries. 

Another perk of this bag is its easy storage. When it's not in use, you can break it down and stow it away in your vehicle or garage. While it is much pricier than many of the other bags on this list, its overall durability and versatility outside of just moving groceries from point A to point B make it worth buying.

Grocery bags are a must, especially if you live in a state where store-provided plastic or paper bags come with an extra fee. To decide which were the best reusable grocery bags on Amazon, we looked at several factors, including overall functionality, size, shape, and ease of storing. For example, one of the most common issues people encounter — and ultimately one of the reasons these bags don't always get used — is that they're easy to forget. So, we wanted to include bags that were easy to store in your vehicle or carry in a purse or backpack. We also wanted to select bags that were visually appealing or had other functionality, be it wheels, compartments, or insulation, so you couldn't imagine using plastic or cheap paper bags again. 

Durability was also top-of-mind when we assembled this ranking. We looked at verified reviews on Amazon to see if customers reported issues with the handles or straps breaking and the overall sentiment about the product's quality. While everyone has different bag needs, there are bound to be at least a few selections on this list that can fit into every shopper's routine.
