Flip for Flip & Tumble bags

I bought two of the shopping bags about 18 months ago. I am never without one, and find they come in handy for more than just groceries: school bag, gym bag, etc.
When not in use, the rip-stop nylon bags stuff into a little pocket inside themselves to form a ball the size of a peach that will fit in most purses with ease. When in use, they hold WAY more than you'd expect by looking at them. They can be draped over the little arms that hold bags for filling in the supermarket so they are pretty easy to fill. Cashiers were a little leary of me the first few times I popped out my bags, but now I am becoming known as "the bag lady" in my small town!
Another wonderful feature of the bags is the long, single strap for carrying on shoulders and keeping hands free. (No cutting into fingers, either!)
I had always like the European style string bags, but Flip & Tumble beats them because small items don't drop through. These are the perfect reusable shopping bag.

Looks like a Workhorse

I bought my first compact shopping bag from http://www.ReusableBags.com nearly five years ago- an ACME Workhorse Style 1500. I think it might have been the first bag to squish into its own pouch like these do, and mine's held up great over the years. Now they make it in a recycled PET version and even one with long handles like a tote bag. Plus, they donate 1% of their sales to the planet, so I'm keeping plastic bags out of landfills and contributing to a good cause every time I use one.

Flip n AWESOME

I am obsessed with these awesome ball bags. I have a huge problem with reusable bags because I don't want to take two or three reusable shopping bags with me on the bus in the morning in addition to all of the other stuff I carry around on a daily basis, so I usually end up getting paper bags during my after work grocery runs (I know, sad.). But these bags squish into attached pouches that only weigh a couple of ounces so I can stick them in my purse without a second thought. They are smaller than average grocery bags by a bit, but that works out for me because I usually walk back from the store, and two lighter flip & tumbles is a heck of a lot easier than one over-stuffed brown bag. Also, they are machine washable. I spilled pie all over one, and now it is as good as new. And sorry, other bag makers, but these are pretty stylish too. These are my absolute favorite shopping bags!

Looks cool to me

These are very similar to those Chico bags you have probably all heard about - they fold up to small enough to fit just about anywhere so you never find yourself without a tote bag at the grocery store every again (Paper or plastic? Neither!).

The one thing that I personally makes these cooler than Chicos is how you roll them up. Chico's usually come with their own little stuff sack, like tiny sleeping bags. Flip and Tumble bags are a little different - they have a little pouch attached to them that you put your hand in and then flip it inside out like rolling up your socks (I know that doesn't explain it very well, just go to the website and watch the video for yourself). Also, these bags come in pretty awesome colors.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not dissing on Chico, I'm just a sucker for innovation!
