Anyone buy the TSV, California Innovation Totes?  I'm leaning toward getting them.

Re: TSV California Innovation

I got the set last year, when they had a TSV.  They're okay, but I haven't ever used them.  They didn't seem that insulated to me, nor that they'd hold much.  I ended up using the reuseable bags I've gotten from places like Sam's Club or the grocery store.

 

Nice patterns, but I don't need any more sitting in a drawer!

I want the larger, thermal (foam padded) insulated bags.  These are too small for my size, and do not have the thermal padded lining.  I'll pass.

Getting a couple sets.  Got them last year,  thought they are made pretty well.  We use them all the time. Keep them in the car, use them when we pick up take out food, keeps warm until w get home.  Very handy to take to grocery to put frozen foods in. I also use them to take foods to a pitch in.  Also I now prefer them to hard sided coolers.  Very good deal.

Re: TSV California Innovation

I have two of Rachel Ray's bags that I use all the time.  They are very sturdy and well-made.  And I have the Lock & Lock bag which is also well made.  Today's TSV doesn't look as 'hefty' as Rachel's version so I won't be buying (plus, I don't need any more bags).  They are cute though, I espescially like the Americana set.  They look fine for every-day trips to the market.  

 

As I'm typing this post I'm also watching the presentation.  I'll probably change my mind and buy the Americana set.  What's wrong with me?!!!!  What kind of Jedi mind tricks do they use???

I liked the floral and the Americana set but just got the floral.  Also got them last year and gave them as gifts.  I keep a couple in the car and they are so handy for my cold items from the store.  Unless I'm going to Costco, I don't need a huge insulated bag so these work great.  The friends I gave them to really liked them.
