Holy cow! Wow! I can't remember being so excited about something I ordered. This is everything it's cracked up to be and more. I love it. I'm 12 miles from a supermarket or Costco, but I'm making a special trip to try them out. They arrived last night, a day ahead of schedule, and of course I opened the box to exlore the crates. With one hand I could open and close them. They fit snugly into the included bag, so they'll not rattle around in the trunk. Reusable bags are such a pain and slow to load. You stand there trying to get the bag to stay open as you struggle to get ill-fitting stuff into them. You stall the line potchkin' around trying to get your packages into flaccid bags, then you get home to find the bags need to be cleaned or laundered.The Cresbi crates (God knows where the name comes from) solve every problem bags create. They take up less room than cloth bags, are easier to fill, easier to carry, speed you through check-out, and if you load your groceries with bar codes up, you just move the crates from cart to conveyor belt, back to your cart and out to your car in a flash. No joke: playing with these made me want to go back to school for an engineering degree.
