    So useful!

    I have used this multiple times for grocery shopping since you have to buy paper shopping bags in Honolulu. It's comfortable to carry thanks to the padded shoulder straps. It also folds down easily, and fits inside my cubelet. I look forward to buying a few more in different colors!
