Almost a 5 but...I bought these a couple of weeks ago but used them for the first time 8/3/23. I didn't have much shopping to do, and because I did not find suggestions regarding how to check out with these bags, I only used 2.5 bags. I like the idea of being able to separate cold items from the rest. I also like keeping groceries sorted with similar items. It makes putting away at home easier. They also look and feel strong. Being able to wash in the machine is also great.
What I did not like: One of the medium bags's mesh stitching was torn which I noticed as soon as I unwrapped them, not just the seam. The tear is not very big, but it will get bigger. I was so disappointed, as they expensive. I guess that it was delivered to Wegman's like that, as that bag was wrapped tightly and held tight with the wrapped photo wide band. Unfortunately I do not keep my register receipt at grocery stores.
Second: I would have loved some guidance on the product interaction page on how to use them when checking out! I took everything out of the bags and onto the counter, putting each bag in front of the respective food group which was in that bag. The woman still left out a few items and just set them in the cart. Neither bag had been full. I would say that it was on her. She may have been confused about the whole idea. I do not look forward to hunting on the internet for ideas on how to approach this. Anyone with the answers? Please advise. P.S. I am guessing that to use these bags, one must utilize their smart phones when placing items in the bag? This I have never done.
