I bought a Flip and Tumble bag for a friend of mine as a gift after seeing it on one of my favorite eye candy shopping blogs. When I ran into her a few weeks later, she showed it to me and I got to play with it in person.
I immediately went home and bought a lime green one for myself.
The Flip and Tumble is a cute little reusable shopping bag that “folds” into a little ball for easy storage. (And a clutter-free trunk if that’s where you keep your grocery bags.) I don’t use it for groceries. (I need really sturdy grocery bags because I tend to put about 400 items in each bag.) Instead, I keep my Flip and Tumble in my purse for the times I forget to bring a bag with me. (Think the mall, a quick trip to the pharmacy, or T.J. Maxx.)
It’s extremely easy to fold the bag back up, and the little pouch it folds into makes a great compartment for your cell phone or keys on the go. They come in an assortment of great colors. Printed bags are also available, but they’re a little more expensive so I went with the cheaper kind. While these several times more expensive than grocery store brand reusable shopping bags, they’re totally worth having at least one or two to tuck into your purse, diaper bag or car.
Everywhere I’ve gone with this, I’ve had people ask me where I got it. So! Here’s where: Flip and Tumble or on Amazon.com, where they’re eligible for Super Saver Free Shopping.
The only bad part is that I now want to collect all of them. Like Pokemon. Cute, Earth-friendly Pokemon.
Here’s a rambling, weird video on how to use the bag:

I LOVE the eggplant color!
I’d use these bags for grocery shopping — it would be a great way to add a little flair to a boring trip to Walmart :)

Call me plain, but the ‘midnight’ colour looks delish.
I’m the same as Erin: grocery shopping with a Flip and Tumble bag would make our little range of bags-for-life even more diverse and sexy. :D
RSS’d my reader up, yo.

Those are great. I’d choose red!
I’d keep it in the purse for when I run to Target, Hobby Lobby etc. and it won’t occur to me to grab the big bags out of my trunk.

brown please!
I like the orange.
We have a bag stuffed with reusable bags but none are as trim as this one. I’d roll it up and keep it in my purse for library books or anytime I needed an extra bag!

Red!
I’d keep it in my purse for the mall. I’m great at remembering my reusable bags everywhere else, but it never occurs to me to bring them into the mall!

I like the eggplant! Purple’s hot.
I’d probably shop at the farmer’s market with it. I like having a big, sturdy bag that can go over the shoulder when we head out that way. All the better to load up with goodies!

Definitely shopping at our local grocery market!
I love that Superpink color! I’d have to carry it in my purse at work…we’re always going on “Fieldtrips” around West Virginia, and I’d like to have something readily available to carry paperwork (when we go to conferences, very rarely do I think to bring a barg) or neat other things I find…like the WV wine I got at the craftshow last weekend!

I’m a sucker for blue so I’d choose the midnight color.
I’d use it to go grocery shopping. I shop at Aldi’s where you need to bring your own bags or buy them. And since this would fit perfectly in my purse I’d never forget it. Like I do with my other bags. LOL!
