I received products from ADK Packworks for my review. All opinions are my own.

About two years ago, the city I grocery shop in, passed a plastic bag ban. I think this is a great way to reduce the amount of garbage going into our landfills. With that said, I never seem to have enough reusable bags to load all of our groceries into. Because of this, I end up purchasing a paper bag from the store.

I shared m y issue with a friend and she suggested ADK Packworks. ADK Packworks offers a line of reusable bags that were not only constructed to last a long time but also to fit your active lifestyle. The bags have been designed to be easy to use while strolling the streets of a farmers market, loading into your vehicle or carrying on your body. Different accessories can also be purchased to further customize your bags.

For my review, I received a Blue Canvas Packbasket with insulated cooler liner and a Floral Market Basket.

The first thing I noticed about these bags is the semi-rigid frame structure. It is light weight yet provides a strong brace for the bag. The bags can actually stand upright on their own. Next I noticed how durable the handles appear to be. They are made with quality goods and craftsmanship. Finally I took note of how flat the bags fold for storage. These are all features I appreciate.

To operate your bag, gently pull the hinges open and press on the base. There is a helpful instruction guide on the ADK Packworks website that shows you how to change the carrying straps from a back strap, to a two-handed strap.

If you like to wash your reusable bags (and trust me, you really need to!) the covers are easy to remove and launder.

I have been using my bags for about 4 weeks now. I am impressed with the quality of these bags so far. I just need about 6-8 more of them to replace my other bags. (We buy a lot of groceries.)
