One Trip Grocery Bag Holder
By Alice Hill

I use to live in New York and can still remember the searing pain brought about by grocery day. The items always looked manageable at the store, but the palm-cutting plastic grocery bag handles had a way of turning ugly after a few blocks. If I only had the One Trip Bag Holder - a simple handle you clip around your bags to make hauling more efficient and less painful.
Features:
• Soft Squeeze Grip
• 50 lb. capacity
• Made of high strength plastic
• Easy open thumb tab
• Durable locking tab - safely secures bags
• Dimensions: 6.5″H x 5.5″W x 1.0″D
Price: $4.99

You know, this looks like a good idea and all that, but what happens when you leave it at home? Doesn’t do you a whole lot of good sitting there in the junk drawer. I’ve taken to re-using paper bags, and a couple of square bottomed cloth bags with handles are also in my kit. Seems like I’ve seen something like this at Walmart as well.

Wow, I already have one of those. It’s called a hand… and you don’t have to remember to take it with you when you go shopping.

Seems like Alice has been on a bit of a toy shopping spree lately… Maybe back to electronics and software soon?

Geez people…
I personally don’t need one because my plastic grocery bag carrying trip is under 50 ft.
But if I had to walk a half mile or take public transportation, I would definitely want something like that.
Just the convenience of reaching for one handle to pick up four bags is worth it. It’s a niche product, ya know…

I’m in the suburbs so I drive to the store, but I could sure leave this in the glove compartment so I wouldn’t have to make three or four trips to garage to unload everything when I got home.

Use Less Gas With A Plastic Bags Handle?
We received an email from one of our customers claiming to use less gasoline by using our recently patented product, The Baggy Buddy Easy Carry Plastic Bags Handle.
We were skeptical.
The Baggy Buddy is designed to make carrying and managing all those plastic bags easier, faster, and more comfortable. It’s used by shoppers in Chicago, Butte, and Fargo to avoid frostbite while making multiple trips getting their groceries from the car to their kitchen. So shoppers in Miami, Phoenix, and Houston can get their groceries home without breaking a sweat. Saving gas was never on the radar screen. Then we received another email, and another. All from different parts of the country, all making the same claim. They all claimed that our Baggy Buddy handles make it so much easier for them to carry their bulky plastic bags full of groceries; they now can comfortably carry and manage many more bags of groceries, and make fewer trips to the store.
Then we did the math.
On average, Americans go grocery shopping twice a week. If the round trip to the supermarket is only 9 miles. You will wind up driving 936 miles per year to get your groceries. If your car gets 15 miles to the gallon, you will use over 62 gallons of gas per year to get your groceries. With regular unleaded gas prices hovering around $3.00 a gallon, you will spend $186.00 a year for gasoline to get your groceries home.
Cut your trips in half, save $93.00. Just cut out 1 trip out of 5 and you can save over $37.00.
At www.baggybuddy.com the most we charge for a Baggy Buddy Easy Carry Handle is $2.95 with free delivery to your mailbox.
You do the math.
