They are easily worth $10, not much more.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">But Joe, you have ortlieb panniers already, why get a grocery specific one?<br \/><\/span>Good question. I often swing by Whole Foods on the way home from work, but don&#8217;t want to lug around two empty ortlieb panniers all day and through the grocery store. Plus these panniers fold flat when not in use. I am not touring with these, only carrying some tofu and vegetables.<\/p>\n<p>These things are nice for the price! They fold flat:<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_Jz4f840sc_c\/RnA11ZhSZMI\/AAAAAAAAAPg\/4UD1H8NXcss\/s1600-h\/IMGP2365.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5075615971546391746\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_Jz4f840sc_c\/RnA11ZhSZMI\/AAAAAAAAAPg\/4UD1H8NXcss\/s320\/IMGP2365.JPG\" style=\"cursor: pointer; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;\" \/><\/a><br \/>They come with a rain cover, which is stored in a zippered pocket in the bottom:<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_Jz4f840sc_c\/RnA2EphSZNI\/AAAAAAAAAPo\/Et9TfdG7d34\/s1600-h\/IMGP2371.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5075616233539396818\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_Jz4f840sc_c\/RnA2EphSZNI\/AAAAAAAAAPo\/Et9TfdG7d34\/s320\/IMGP2371.JPG\" style=\"cursor: pointer; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;\" \/><\/a><br \/>The bag attaches with a set of hooks:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_Jz4f840sc_c\/RnA2ZZhSZOI\/AAAAAAAAAPw\/blLPeKDHK7E\/s1600-h\/IMGP2370.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5075616590021682402\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_Jz4f840sc_c\/RnA2ZZhSZOI\/AAAAAAAAAPw\/blLPeKDHK7E\/s320\/IMGP2370.JPG\" style=\"cursor: pointer; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;\" \/><\/a><br \/>These are incredibly handy for carrying groceries or as pictured carrying awkward sized boxes to Mail Boxes Etc.
