Has anyone successfully used this to store paper grocery bags?

Mrs Morty - I was wondering the same thing. If you try it and it works, will you please post? Looks like it might work best for paper bags if the clips aren't already attached and can be used however you want. Then maybe attaching the short side would let the tall side hold the bags more securely. The slight angle - due to the lip on the short side - might even be helpful. (?)

I have not used this rack to store paper bags, but I did use it to store wrap boxes and it was worthless. When I take a wrap box out of the rack, the others fall out. The sides of the rack are too low to keep the wrap boxes in. I just recently bought another one which is excellent, which keeps the boxes in tact.

Yes. I have had for over a month, and we love it. We use it for plastic grocery bags not paper bags.

I have several that I use to hold extra office supplies a supply closet. The mesh is sturdy and the brackets that hold onto the shelf keep the basket in place nicely. They hold the weight of 2 reams of paper with no problem. I would buy them again.

You could put a fully filled paper grocery bag in each side, with wiggle room. I use it in my RAV. It has a velcro-ish bottom so that it doesn't' slide around on the carpet in the back, which is a bonus.

I do, we actually just stuff it with plastic grocery bags and it works great!

I have used the organizer to keep grocery bags upright and for storage; I have never tried to pick it up loaded.

I use it to store frying pans and it's very sturdy. I can see it working very well for paper bags!

I don't think there's enough clearance for the thickness of a paper bag. Plastic produce bags are too small. Though more expensive, the J Bag fits perfectly, and is invisible.

You can, I guess, but the results will probably not be very good. The idea behind the bag isn't just that it's designed to fit the container. It's also built to hold the diapers (way more than a grocery bag) and it helps control the smell. Grocery bags are not nearly as strong as these, and they are more porous, meaning they are far more likely to rip, leak, or both. You're better off taking your old grocery bags back to the grocery store as most will recycle them. Look for the recycling bin, usually right near the entrance of the store.

Yes, it hold the grocery bags very well. My canned goods don't go rolling all over the place and my six packs don't tip over, either. If you arrange the bags properly, you also shouldn't need to worry about your produce getting squashed by bags of other things.

Not designed for paper, unless you have paper bags that stretch like plastic.

I just tried to put a small stack in there and it was pretty tight. The paper would end up getting bent. I would not recommend it.

It would be close. The base of the bag is 7.5 x 10 inches, but gets larger towards the top. The overall capacity on these bags are a bit more than a paper bag, but the shape isn't optimal for carrying a full paper grocery bag. But it's probably doable with the right combination of items in the bag.

Like the thick microfiber cloth rags? That's a good idea! I think it might work. I think the only place you may have trouble would be fishing it through the top hole. You'd probably find it easier to just stuff them in the longer slot on the front and pull them out the same way. Actually sometimes I even stuff my grocery bags into the longer front slot instead of through the top because it's quicker sometimes.

Yes I have, but I use the slanted boxes (Badger Basket Three Bin Storage Cubby) on the bottom.

Yes they work wonderfully! I just put up 2 bushels of corn using these bags and my Foodsaver unit. No failures either! :)

I just tried one in the wastebasket and a plastic grocery sack fits very well with the top of the bag at the top of the wastebasket and the handles hanging over each end. Hope this helps.

Yes, definitely! I used mine to store markers, using the clear cases as shelves. Hope this helps!
