The Woman Possessed by Cooler Bags
Since shopping bags started costing money, it's become standard practice to carry an eco-bag, hasn't it?
The coming season is hot, so having something with cooling functionality is a huge help.
I like them because they feel sturdy enough to use as regular shopping bags too.
I also love using a backpack with cooling functionality for my everyday shopping.
When I go shopping in the summer, I put ice packs in it, and since the ice pack hits right against my back, it feels nice and cool! 🤤
I immediately got the freebie from the July issue of Liniere that went on sale yesterday!
I love the illustration style!
YES, MAMMA...
Moomin with that troubled look is so cute.
And Mamma's back view! 😆
I don't know what story this illustration is from,
but it looks like Moomin didn't listen and got left behind in the forest.
It's a cooler bag with a wide gusset that can hold six 500ml plastic bottles.
It seems perfect for buying ice cream by the box from now on.
It also looks like it would be good for meat or fish in trays, as long as they are small portions for two people, they can sit flat without tilting.
It's not too big and seems easy to use.
I don't like bags that are too big; they seem convenient, but I end up overstuffing them, they get too heavy, and I just want to leave them behind on the way home.
The fact that the handles and the picture are gray rather than pitch black is also nice and gentle. 🩶
The fabric isn't water-repellent and looks like it would get dirty easily, so it's not suitable for fishing.
It's cute, so I don't want to get it dirty!
(This is not an advertisement of any kind, just the thoughts of an ordinary housewife.)
Next up,
First, the foldable type in pale green.
They have a wide variety of colors, but I liked this one, so I clicked 'buy'. 💻
I'm happy that the handles are long enough to hang securely over my shoulder.
The brown paper bag-like type on the left.
This is also a cooler bag with a pocket for an ice pack.
It doesn't have a zipper; it closes with a magnet, and you roll it up to seal the lid.
Compared to a zipper, the airtight seal is weaker and the cooling function seems lower, but it looks stylish, so I clicked 'buy'.
I bought it because it looks like a bag you could use for a casual outing.
And this one, which I could call my absolute favorite.
Even if I buy a cold plastic bottle while I'm out, it stays cold for a long time, and it's a great item that prevents condensation inside my bag.
I bought it at some variety store.
It's quite worn out and there are parts where the outer vinyl coating is torn, but I'll still be using it this year.
However, it's a shame that you can't just toss these cooler bags into the washing machine for a good wash.
Wiping and drying is the standard.
Because maintenance takes a little bit of effort, I've grown attached to it. ☺️
Whether it's eco-bags or cooler bags, they aren't incredibly expensive and I use them often, so I tend to collect them.
But in reality, I don't need that many.
The ones I actually use are narrowed down by practicality and convenience.
I want to use the things I like carefully for a long time, so I'm writing this post to warn myself: You are just possessed, you already have enough cooler bags.
