Flip & Tumble Review & Giveaway

Flip & Tumble is a new innovative company that makes reusable shopping bags that are easy to remember! Here is what Flip & Tumble said about that exact situation, “We surveyed shoppers. Almost everyone has reusable bags, so why aren’t they getting used? Too difficult to remember. Too many unplanned shopping trips. Just too hard.

You’ve been there, done that. You know the moment you get to the checkout line, you remember the bags are at home by the front door, or maybe they are just in the trunk of your car. In any case, they are not there when you need them.

We saw a big problem. After all, reusable bags are really only useful if they actually are reused. We figured if we could make the bags small enough to simply be kept with you all the time, there would be no more forgetting. We designed our bags to be small enough to stash in a messenger bag, purse, or pocket, so they are simply there when you needed them We had them tested by friends, family, and just about anyone who was willing to give them a try, and they worked! We knew we had something we wanted to share when even our most forgetful friends were reusing their bags.”

Review
Flip & Tumble creates two unique reusable shopping bags: the 24-7 bag and the loopt bag. Flip & Tumble recently gave me the opportunity to test both of them out. The 24-7 bag is a cute little sac that rolls up perfectly into a small little sac. The loopt bag is a classic style shopping bag that can easily be rolled up into a little cylinder.

Both bags have great features. My favorite was the loopt bag because of how compact it is when you roll it up. The loopt bag is perfect for storing one in each of my jacket pockets. It is easy enough to just carry around and forget that they are even there. However, still easy enough to pull out when you run out on an unexpected shopping trip and forget your other bags at home. I absolutely adore the loopt bag because I no longer have to worry about going shopping and being without a shopping bag.

I also had a chance to test out the 24-7 bag. This bag is really neat because of it’s fun design. This bag has a built in pouch made from stretchable fabric on the side, which allows it to roll up easily into a ball after each use. This makes it so simple for storage and perfect for throwing in your purse or in one of the cup holders in your car.

Overall, I love this company and both of their bags. They do what they set out to do and make it simple to remember your reusable shopping bags…Saving the world one shopping bag at a time.

  15. This is a GREAT idea!! I often forget my reusable bags and then kick myself when I get to the store. I go grocery shopping a lot, so I try to reduce my impact by using as many reusable bags as possible. This would be awesome, I could carry it in my purse all the time! I could also use it on other shopping trips - I never think to bring my own bag when clothes shopping, but if it were right next to my wallet, I would! And you know, I could see it coming in handy on a lot of other occasions.

    If I were the lucky winner, I would love the raspberry/pink in the 24/7 bag, and sky in the loopt bag.

    Great idea, thank you for the giveaway!!
