Default Too Cheap for a Saltwater Whale bag

Any other options out there? I am debating on biting the bullet since everyone on here raves about them.

honestly, I have had really good luck with Target beach bags. They are found in the purse/jewelry section. Bought mine years ago for 10$. hth

LL Bean adventure tote, though it was better when they had 6 pockets.

I have been using my canvas shopping bags, but need something larger as well. I am going to get an LL Bean large tote, I think I will like the versatility of it. We usually put stuff in our Bob's basket as well and or we make DD1 carry the bucket or her chair (which has a carry strap)

If you'll be using it for the beach, go with the Whale, or another with a mesh material. I LOVE how sand just drips right out of the holes after a day at the beach. I'd give up grocery money for my Whale Bag.

I bought one last month and I have never been so excited about a tote bag before in my life.

Never argue with an idiot. He'll bring you down to his level, then beat you with experience.

Yes. For the few dollars more, it will transform your pool and beach days. I felt guilty about spending the money too, especially because I have two llb totes that are in perfect condition.
