Product Information

The CleverMade SnapBasket Thermo LUXE Tote proves that insulated reusable bags can be legitimately chic. The 8-gallon bag can carry up to 30 pounds and has a supportive, rigid bottom. Its thermal insulation and reflective foil lining help preserve the temperature of your groceries. There’s rarely a weekend afternoon spent running errands where just one stop is on the agenda. If you’re anything like us, you’re likely bouncing between the grocery store, the coffee shop, the home improvement store, and the coffee shop again — you get the idea. So, rather than worrying about arranging your day just to get your groceries home to the refrigerator promptly — or worse, risking spoiled milk or soggy greens — make your weekend market trips easier by investing in a few insulated grocery bags.

Some insulated grocery bags are designed to be used for more than one purpose. One good way to use smaller bags is as a lunch box; larger ones make good delivery bags. Most insulated bags can also be used to keep food warm rather than cold until it reaches its destination. The semi-hard shell frame keeps the interior contents safe, while various add-ons — like an adjustable padded shoulder strap, bottle opener, and accessory mounting system — help it stand out from the crowd.Perhaps the most important consideration when shopping for an insulated grocery bag is the size and capacity. Your exact needs will come down to how much you typically buy at the store at any given time. Someone who makes several trips a week to the farmer’s market will need a bag that’s drastically smaller than the lead shopper for a family of four who makes bi-weekly Costco runs. Most of the insulated grocery bags that made our list hover around a 30-liter capacity, though plenty of them are available in multiple sizes to help cater to your exact needs. LARGE SIZE, CAN STORE A LOT OF FOOD: Each measuring 16 x 13 x 9 inches(41*33*23cm), these extra-large reusable shopping bags are designed to handle the biggest grocery hauls. Fill them to the brim with produce, meats, dairy, canned food, drinks, and more. They each hold up to 30 pounds! Likewise, a design focused on liquid retention probably isn’t a must if you don’t see yourself piling a cooler high with ice. Shopping for just the features you need — and none that you don’t — is a great way to stay on budget and find the right design for you. Translation: If you do choose to use this bad boy for the occasional grocery store run, it will certainly be able to hold its own.

When it comes to insulated grocery bags, there are a lot of options out there, which means it’s possible to find a great design that caters to your exact use. When reviewing our winners above, shop with your intended use in mind. If you don’t envision being away from your refrigerator for an extended period (maybe one to two hours while grocery shopping and that’s it), then you probably don’t need to spring for a cooler bag that touts a 16-hour chill time. Ditch those plastic grocery bags with this cleverly designed tote, which is embroidered with phrases commonly found on plastic bags: “thank you” and “have a nice day.” It comes in an assortment of colors so you can really make a statement. In contrast to the single-use plastic options it replaces, the reusable bag is handmade with 100 percent recycled taffeta and can be machine washed—another major bonus, especially for the bright white versions. Just make sure to hang it up to dry to keep the embroidery in good condition. In general, most readily available insulated grocery bags will have an interior capacity of 7 to 10 gallons and hold around 30 pounds. Single-use plastic grocery bags typically have a much smaller capacity, which means one reusable insulated bag can hold multiple plastic grocery bags’ worth of stuff. If you tend to buy lots of groceries at once, you may find that you need multiple insulated bags (or one extra-large insulated bag) to hold all your items. With heavy-duty, 9.75-inch-long shoulder straps, this tote is comfortable to carry on a large-scale grocery run. Since it doesn't have any compartments, heavier items can shift around if the bag isn’t perfectly balanced. It offers a collapsible, fold-flat design for easy storage, which is a nice plus. This Scout Errand Boy Tote Bag is pricier than other options, but it’s one of the largest and most attractive bags in our roundup. If you’re not eating the food they contain for over two hours, then yes they need to be refrigerated. Q.
