Think Pink, Part 2

October 7, 2007 · Narrative

Another pink purchase for your shopping pleasure, this one hails from the good folks at Lean Cuisine. I highlighted these insulated lunch tote bags last year and they were a h-o-t commodity and sold out quickly. This year, they’re back with three new designs that are just so hard to resist.

An absolute bargain at $9.95 each (which includes shipping), $5 of every purchase goes to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Working from home, I just can’t bring myself to fork over the ten bucks, but I can’t promise how long that resolve will hold. But that shouldn’t stop you! Go one and grab one for yourself … grab a few for friends! They’ll make fab gifts for the upcoming holidays (hint! hint!). Checking a gift off your list and contributing to a wonderful cause, it doesn’t get better than that. Complete details and ordering information can be found right here.

    I have one of these, and I ordered another one this year. $10 for a lunch bag is just too good a bargain for me to turn down, especially when it’s for a good cause. I can’t tell you how many times people have remarked on my cute “purse,” and how surprised they are when I tell them it’s a lunch bag!

    TD – As I was trying to fall asleep last night, I came up with two excuses to buy them, one being a Christmas gift. So hard to pass up a bargain like that!

    Kristib – no problem!
