Shopping Home Products I'm a Pack Rat Who Swears by Heavy-Duty Storage Bags Like This On-Sale Set from Amazon — Only $5 Each Over 6,000 shoppers have given them five stars By Clint Davis Clint Davis Clint is a veteran journalist with more than 13 years in digital publishing.

People Editorial Guidelines Published on August 4, 2024 06:30AM EDT Photo: Amazon As a notorious pack rat, trust me when I say moving bags are a life-changer. I bought a pack of them a few years ago and have used them during moves and for general storage in my basement, replacing flimsy cardboard boxes and bulky plastic totes. Right now, a set of Veno 27-Gallon Moving Bags is on sale at Amazon for less than $5 each when you buy a pack of six. The heavy-duty moving bags are made from a woven plastic material that holds up to 50 pounds, according to the brand, and have earned over 6,000 perfect ratings from shoppers so far. Veno 27-Gallon Moving Bags, Six-Pack Amazon Orig. $35 $30 at Amazon I have a few thousand vinyl records and have found these bags to be the best way to move hundreds at once (ditto for DVDs). You can lug them using the hand straps or, for the heaviest loads, pick them up from the alternate handles on each end with a partner. These bags are also great for emptying your dresser drawers into when you've got to swap out clothing at the change of a season or when you move. Keep one bag for your warm-weather clothes and one for your cold-weather ones, and use the handy label pockets to keep them straight. "I love these things," wrote one shopper. "They're perfect for sweaters, towels, sheets — all cloth items. I even stuffed one with yarn. The size is excellent for those oversized, poofy items [like pillows and comforters]." Walmart’s Dorm Shop Is Filled with Practical Decor and School Essentials from Just $5 The bags stand upright when you're loading them, and I've found the zipper closure allows for more flexibility with the items you put in compared to a rigid locked lid. It also means they keep dust and bugs out. The sheer size and durability of these moving bags has impressed many buyers (myself included). "I love how sturdy these bags are," wrote another person. "None of the original eight have ripped or been compromised in any way, despite being stored in a non-climate controlled storage unit for two years." To get the bags at under $5 each, you'll need to buy the six-pack, but you can get them for just a few cents more in other quantities. The 10-pack is on sale at $5.30 per bag, for example. If you don't find uses for the extras, you can leave them folded up and out of the way.
