As a big family, our carbon footprint is GINORMOUS. Diapers alone truly stack the deck, although we did cloth diaper with a couple of the kids. Still, if you take the time to calculate the sheer amounted of disposable junk we’ve wasted, it’s repulsive. I’m grasping at different ways to decrease the waste our family puts out but it’s so hard to fix it once you’re in the habit. One transition that’s been not only easy but better for us than the disposable way, is our switch to Lotus Trolley Bags.
Lotus Trolley Bags are reusable grocery bags that expand across your cart, allowing you to organize your groceries while you shop. I’ll admit that my husband’s selling point was not the eco-friendly aspect, I love him but he’s just not that kind of a guy. My husband wanted to try Lotus Trolley Bags because our local grocery store chain began charging for plastic bags due to a town ordinance requiring it. To be honest, whether you’re using these bags for yourself or for the environment, they’re going to make shopping so much easier. I don’t actually do the shopping in our house (okay, pick your jaws up off the floor, ladies!) but I would if it could be breezy like it is with Lotus Trolley Bags.
My anxiety holds me back from strolling through a store packed with humans and I’d like to just get in and out of there. With the way you can organize your groceries with Lotus Trolley Bags as you go, you save time in the store and at home when you need to put everything away. You see, the bags have rods that hang over the edge of the cart, keeping the bags and your groceries upright. There are pockets inside of the bags for you to separate whatever you need. I put the smallest things inside the pockets so they don’t get lost inside the bottom of the bag. There is even a cooler bag to help keep your frozen items cool. I placed everything into the bags by order of where it goes in my house as I went through the store. After I rang it up and put everything back in, it was a lot easier to put away when I got home because all of the pantry items were in one place and cold in another.
Another bag that’s helping to save the planet are the Lotus Produce Bags. You can use these BPA-free bags for your produce, snacks, travel, or even your delicates. They almost look like a lingerie bag but they feel so much more high quality than that, much thicker and softer. They come in three different sizes and they’re washable, just like the regular Lotus Trolley Bags! I love how multi-use they are and I’m probably going to use a set to start bringing my produce out to activities in my backpack so I don’t just have apples and oranges rolling through my bag.
You can purchase regular Lotus Trolley Bags here but if you primarily shop at Aldi or the big box stores like Sam’s Club and Costco, check out the club cart bags here. Get your Lotus Produce Bags here.

This looks fantastic. Great for Aldi runs 😀😀😀
This is how I shop and unload my cart, and I get so frustrated when I can’t bag by category! Love the organization and that they’re environmentally friendly!
Mostly just making it faster to get out of aldi. But, having easy to use bags that I remember to bring in is also a huge bonus.
I have never seen these before and they look amazing!! I live in California where we have to purchase plastic bags at the store if we forget ours in the car.

I like the larger handles, often these shopping bags have these tiny handles I can’t put over my shoulder. So frustrating!
I love that it’s got a great way to organize and keep certain foods in a specific bag, making it easy to unpack at home and also, save on bags which a few of my stores already have done without bags and now charge if you use any. This would save me some cash and even help keep me organized.
