I was looking for a bag that I could take with me on the train, because Costco is 5 minutes from the station, and I am trying not to drive my car.  Also, figured I couldn't buy that much if I didn't bring my truck.  The first time I went to Costco on the train, I bought a ton of stuff and carried it back to the train, then caught the bus, and by the time I got home my arms were numb.  So I needed something light but fairly sturdy with wheels.  This seemed to fit the bill, plus it was cute.

I looked all over the internet, and Amazon had the best price, so I ordered one.  It has a really nice zippered top if you want to use it, and it also has cloth handles to pick it up if you don't need to roll it.  The handles are well made.  A nice mesh pocket on the outside could hold shopping lists or coupons, or other small light things.  Another reviewer pointed out that the extended handle doesn't really lock, so if you go to push it instead of pull it, it kind of goes back down.  That turned out to be true, so the solution is just don't push it...simple fix!

I took it to Costco, and loaded it up. It rolled nicely, and was a heck of a lot easier than schlepping stuff in a regular bag.  Keep in mind that this is a light duty bag, and it probably would wear out fairly quickly if you were to drag it all over the place, but for going to the store, and taking stuff home, it does well.  The bag didn't fall forward when it was loaded up, the little legs in front held pretty good.  I have had other bags where the front legs just collapsed and everything fell forward.  This one doesn't.  Yay.  I take it downtown now, or anywhere else I anticipate buying something that is too heavy to carry home.  Like Barnes and Noble.  It'll hold a ton of books.

I went to T.J. Max, and the first thing I saw when I walked in was a whole rack of these bags, and they had them in plaid, too.  They were only $12.00.  I couldn't believe it.  So I bought another one in a different color because I figured that eventually I will wear the first one out, and I really like the bag, so I'd be upset if they weren't available when I need another one. Plus, with TJ Max, it is always "here today, gone tomorrow." So now I have two.

My only complaint is that it seemed to be a little dirty when it arrived, both inside and out.  I don't know if it was a customer return or what, but it had some marks on the inside, and it was a little scuffed on the outside.  Pretty sure that isn't the norm, and it wasn't that big a deal, but I thought I'd point it out.  The one I got at TJ Max was spotless, so it's not a manufacturing flaw.  Stuff happens..

All in all, I love this bag, and I would recommend it to anyone who needs something lightweight but not cheesy thin.  This bag is lined, and will not tear easily.  Sturdy canvas on the outside, so you can put sharp boxes, or like items, in it with no problem. It doesn't fold up into one of those eeny weeny paper thin bags you see online, so the picture is exactly what it will look like all the time. I forgot to say that if you don't want to use the telescoping handle, you just push it down, and there is a zipper that closes it into the bag so you can't see it or catch anything on it.  Nice feature.
