No, no she isn't. 

 

It's ok, you NEEEED these. You will LOVE these. 

 

They are calling your name. 

 

That Americana is going to sell out before the end of the day!

 

Don't miss out!

 

When they are gone, they are gone!

@Mominohio- Thanks for sharing your thoughts on these bags.  You've helped me make the decision not to buy.  I have the RR bags and I love them.  The quality is outstanding! I really appreciate your detailed review Smiley Surprised)


 

Great! I lost you!

 

Now I stand alone, not needing these but not passing them up!

 

I think of the bags on the market today RR are the best I've seen. 

 

My RR are older but her newer ones always look like she has managed to keep the excellent quality. 

 

The new Lock and Lock with the side/bottom zipped part for a 9x13 looks super well constructed too. That one has been tempting me. Kind of waiting for a free ship day!

Re: TSV California Innovation

@Mominohio-- I use the Lock & Lock bag when I need something smaller than the RR bags.  Both brands do a great job keeping things cool even in hot Florida weather.  I toss in 2- 16oz frozen bottles of water along with my lunch and a couple of green smoothies.  Even when I leave the bag in the hot car, it keeps everything cool.  I'm not saying that the bottled water stays frozen, but it's enough to keep my lunch and smoothies safe for consumption.  These bags are a must in Florida!

Re: TSV California Innovation

I purchased the set last year to give as gifts. I actually thought they were better than I expected considering the number and price. I kept one for myself and am pleased with it. You really can't beat it for the price. I use mine when I have to pick up prescriptions and want to get just a couple of things while I'm there. Works great for that or if you take a short road trip.

Re: TSV California Innovation

I bought several sets last year and used them instead of gift bags. figured they get a second life that way.

We must use our own bags when shopping here so they are great.

Re: TSV California Innovation

I don't need five bags for the two of us. I have two regular bags. For cold and frozen items, I prefer the shape of the large blue insulated bag that Trader Joe's sells. It's wider instead of so deep that everything is piled up. And it's about $5 at their stores, if I recall.

I bought the set with the black and white stripe, the Geometric.  I almost went for the Americana.   I have two Rachel Ray insulated bags that I like very much but they don't hold enough so these new bags should work out for me.  I can always gift one or two if I have too many.

Re: TSV California Innovation

I got the geometric set also...plan on using one for my nieces baby shower gift bag...she loves purple. The magenta or black and white stripe as my friends Christmas gift bag. I like the idea of these as gift bags...will use another one or 2 this way also and keep 1 for me.
