I'd like to get a tote that will help keep foods cold after grocery shopping. I don't have a car and typically try to head right home (if not shopping at a place real close by) in the warmer months. A thermal tote isn't always needed but could come in handy on super hot days an/or when I would like to do another errand/stop after. Only an issue of course is when I have perishables (and you know, melted fro yo is not a good thing).
Americas Test Kitchen rated this the best, the Rachael Ray ChillOut Thermal Tote. When I do a search almost all of the places were out of stock/not avail any longer (Target, Jet.com, Amazon 3rd party only and out of stock and the red was $99). And other places were selling it for even more $. The bag prices I saw (but sold out ) ranged from about 15-25. ETA: best so far, on Ebay from 18 (or best offer plus 10 ish shipping), others priced $300! I'm thinking it is no longer being sold, perhaps just getting rid of old inventory. The "shop" section of the Rachael Ray site being worked on (did check the stores mentioned that sell her products).
I used google shopping and just a regular search, bizrate etc. Any more accurate ones that would show truer inventory? I've had the same issue when looking to buy other items. Do you have a favorite ways to search for items?
Before I buy one, I was wondering if you have a thermal bag that you like? I haven't been that pleased with the few I've had before and ended up not using often/donating etc. I used one today and it was just ok. I don't want something really big or bulky -- I don't think it keeps things as cool unless quite full, plus, I have to lug the food home.
Thx.
