I went to the fruit and veggie market the other day and went over board....lol. Had to buy a pineapple ;)
amongst other heavy things........well I crammed my PC bag with most of the bags, and it was heavy!! It held up!

WooHoo, so maybe there was just a bad batch of bags, but most of them are tough!
 
Hmm, I never had a problem with my bags. I love that they hold so much more than the plastic grocery bags. My problem is remembering to bring them in the store with me!
 
I haven't had trouble w/ mine either. I, like you, do not go easy on my bags! :)

I fill my bags w/ non-pc items that recruits would need when they get started- pens, highlighters, index cards, calculator, etc. My recruits love them!
 
I have found that if you get a sharp corner then it can tear. One of mine has a rip in it from a corner of a box
 
I am so glad to hear that your PC bag held up during your trip to the market! It's great to know that our products are durable and reliable, even when carrying heavy items like pineapples. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Happy cooking!
