A Flip & Tumble GIVEAWAY

September 14, 2009

41acih72wkl_sl160_1I stopped by the grocery store on my way home, and as I was in the checkout line, I got my Reusable Shopping Bags by Flip & Tumble out and started to open them up…then the strangest thing happened. The lady behind me in line tapped me on the shoulder and asked what I was doing. So, I explained that the little balls (about the size of a tangerine) were my shopping bags. THEN she asked if she could play with one! Ummmm…sure? So I proceeded to hand her the ball and then worked on the other two (I always carry 3…haven’t needed a plastic bag yet!!). After a few moments, she asked where I got them, so I shared my site, where I’ll be giving away  Reusable Shopping Bags by Flip & Tumble this week, and directed her to amazon.com. And yes, you read that right…one of my lucky readers will win their VERY OWN Flip & Tumble shopping bag!! A lime green bag, to be exact, courtesy of the gals over at Flip & Tumble (you can thank them by reducing the amount of plastic bags that go into our landfills every year). I was planning on waiting to do the giveaway until later this week, but I was so moved by my grocery store experience, that I’ve decided to post the giveaway NOW. Yup, now. (Oh, the lady at the store was very intrigued by my bag…she kept opening and closing it, and then handed it back to me and announced that she just “had to have one”.) So, in honor of reducing the amount of garbage that we humans produce, AND because the Reusable Shopping Bags by Flip & Tumble are absolutely ADORABLE and MUST be shared, I have 1 bag up for grabs. To enter in this week’s contest, simply post a comment about this blog entry. One entry per person, please. The contest will run until Midnight EST Wednesday, September 16th. Good luck to everyone!

Hello! I have been reading you blog ever since the Pink Fitness site. You have a lot of cool info and even cooler exercise dvds! Your enthusiasum is contagious and makes me want to try harder with my own life. My favorite color is lime green so I’d love to receive a free shopping bag. It’s awesome that they become little balls. I could carry them around because they are so small, not to mention cute. It’s a great way to make our earth a better place to live in and it makes it fun too! Thanks so much for considering me and thanks for blogging!

Hey there! That very well may the most precious shopping bag I’ve ever seen! LOL My son would have a FIELD DAY with the ‘ball’ while shopping and then I could some how coax it out of his hands to put groceries in! But hey – it would keep him occupied while in the cart – wink wink!

:)

Thanks, Brea!

Those are so cool. I try really hard to always use re-usable bags and never seem to have enough. This would be great !

9 April Langford September 16, 2009 at 5:04 am

I would love to have one of those bags! I have a few Trader Joes reusable bags but those are so cute and don’t take up much space!

10 Carol September 16, 2009 at 6:17 am

These bags look amazing, hope I win, Thanks for the chance!

11 Shannon Baas September 16, 2009 at 7:51 am

I use a reusable bag for a lot of things so this would come in handy.

12 Dddiva September 16, 2009 at 8:28 am

These are great- and no more excuses for forgetting to bring them with you.

13 Katherine Dunn September 16, 2009 at 8:37 am

With a family of 6 reusable bags always come in handy around my house. The Flip & Tumble bag is darling!

15 Rosanne September 16, 2009 at 8:48 am

What a cute way to carry a envirosack

16 Stephanie Adkins September 16, 2009 at 8:50 am

I enjoy reading your site and the bag is just adorable.

17 Maureen September 16, 2009 at 8:52 am

They seem to be the perfect thing to keep in a purse or tote for when you need a grocery bag

18 Katie September 16, 2009 at 9:11 am

Just goes to show that sometimes word of mouth is the best advertising! I need a smaller bag, I always forget mine in the car because they don’t fit in my purse! thanks!

19 Joanne Schultz September 16, 2009 at 10:16 am

oooh, these bags look great!!

Thanks for the giveaway!

20 Heather M September 16, 2009 at 10:41 am

I would love to have these they are so stylish and I would bring my bags proudly into the stores!

21 Sarah C September 16, 2009 at 11:52 am

I only have three reusable bags currently, which means I always end up having to use at least a couple plastic bags. It would be awesome to stop bringing home plastic bags completely!

22 Angela J September 16, 2009 at 12:19 pm

These sound great, I take my own bags to the store, but these seem easier to use.

23 RoeC September 16, 2009 at 1:07 pm

Love, love love the look of these bags. Would like to try one.

24 sharon September 16, 2009 at 1:56 pm

Sounds great.

30 Pat September 16, 2009 at 4:17 pm

Thank you for sharing the idea of reusable grocery bags. We all want to do the best we can for our environment. Thanks also for the contest.

31 patricia September 16, 2009 at 4:26 pm

I love all the colors these bags come in. Midnight/Slate is my fav.

32 Brittney September 16, 2009 at 6:05 pm

i like the midnight/slate

33 Aisling September 16, 2009 at 6:09 pm

These bags look great (and cute too). I’m pretty good about taking my reusable bags to the grocery store, but when I make one of those unplanned stops, I never have them. With the Flip & Tumble bags, they’d be right in my purse whenever I needed them.

34 Holly September 16, 2009 at 6:18 pm

What a great idea. The colors are vivid and the shapes make it interesting. I do lots of shopping and I am a firm believer in doing ones share to help the environment. I find my bags at the thrift store for a few bucks or from yard sales. They are all different and have personality.

35 kathy pease September 16, 2009 at 6:18 pm

Thank you for the AWESOME GIVEAWAY.. Please count me in :)

36 Sarah Z September 16, 2009 at 6:47 pm

Love the colors – especially eggplant!

37 Stacy September 16, 2009 at 7:10 pm

so cute and practical!

38 Christine V September 16, 2009 at 7:31 pm

39 Lim September 17, 2009 at 9:41 pm

The green is so fun! Looks easy to use compared to some bags.
