My bags were not expensive at all. I can't remember the exact price. Maybe
$20 each but they also include a lunch tote. I used one of the lunch totes
at the last dance convention. Everything was cold even 10 hours later!
Well what was left in there. Which was only drinks. I use the large totes
not only when I go to Costco but when I go to the grocery store and am not
going straight home or if I go to a store far from my house and buy
something like ice cream.
