Review:<\/h4>\n
Most of the things I review are items I received because I went to the NAPO conference.\u00a0 This is no exception, but this is something I purchased there.\u00a0 It was a spur of the moment purchase \u2013 I was walking around conference with a large box another vendor had given me, and was struggling with having hands \u2013 or rather lack of hands.\u00a0 The Tote Buddy<\/a> was offering their product \u2013 their bag organizer with 3 regular bags and 1 floral bag for $20-.\u00a0 I found a table nearby, put my armful of things down, took my money out, and went over and bought the set.\u00a0 I\u2019ll honestly say that I wouldn\u2019t have spent the money if I hadn\u2019t been desperate!<\/p>\nThis did not reflect my interest in their product; it was more a reflection of how frugal I can be.\u00a0 As well, it was something more to worry about getting home after conference. The truth is that I cannot say I’ve been frustrated with my reusable bags, they live in one of the bags, and I often remember to grab them before I head to the store.\u00a0 I received FlyLady reusable bags a couple of years ago as a gift \u2013 they\u2019re the ones I take: 3 lovely purple, square-bottomed bags and 1 black insulated square-bottomed bag for refrigerator\/freezer items.\u00a0 The thing about these is that a couple of them have started to unravel at the edges, but they still work.\u00a0 Yet now that I have the Tote Buddy, I do really appreciate how much easier it is to grab my bags and carry them.<\/p>\n
As with so many new bags, there\u2019s a smell \u2013 last year\u2019s bag smell was worse \u2013 and as usual, the smell does fade with time. I usually wait to talk about the negatives, but in this case, this is really the only one.\u00a0 This product is exactly what it proclaims to be \u2013 an eco-friendly v to organize your reusable bags, and it\u2019s stylish too.<\/p>\n
The Tote Buddy’s bags are larger and have a much sturdier feel to them.\u00a0 The bags are orange, not my personal favorite color, but are bright and pretty.\u00a0 I’m also not a big floral person, so I got my bag organizer in black.\u00a0 This also has a sturdy feel to it.<\/p>\n
I didn’t show my husband right away these bags and organizer, but as he was helping me put things away, he noticed.\u00a0 His comment was pretty much – “Wow, I like these.” I showed him how the organizer worked and he liked that too.\u00a0 He was pleased with how sturdy they feel.<\/p>\n
I also like the idea of using a binder clip to clip my list and any coupons (rarely) to the bag organizer, which sits well in the front basket of the cart.\u00a0 They say that the bag organizer holds up to 10 reusable bags \u2013 although mine seems a little full with 7 bags.\u00a0 For me, this works fine since I rarely need more than 6 at a time.\u00a0 I also prone to keeping it clean looking, but not wanting to fill it until it\u2019s bulging.<\/p>\n
The other day one of my cats vomited liquid all over the floor, where unbeknownst to me, it was running across the floor – right to where a bag was sitting before it was unloaded.\u00a0 First, I was shocked at how far it had run, was our floor that uneven? Second, I was a little miffed, kitty vomit on my relatively new bags – but it amazingly wiped off and left no mark – woohoo!\u00a0 Now that\u2019s a product.\u00a0 Now, I just need to continue working at getting the bag organizer back into my car, or at least remember to grab it before heading out for shopping.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
