Does anyone know the difference between the 2 totes? The Consultant tote is 350 pts and the Carry All is only 200 pts. I want to get one of them but I don't know which one is the best? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
 
The consultant tote is the one that new consultants get with their kits. It's a great tote. It's the better of the two in my opinion.

The carry all tote is softer sided and slightly smaller but it's great as an add on tote to carry bulky or heavy things to divide up the weight. It has a sleeve to fit over the rolling bag so it's a must if you have that.
 
The Consultant Tote holds way more. I use the Consultant Tote, teh Carry All and the TTA Tote for shows adn that's it! :)

That's what I use too.

The Consultant Tote is for my products
The Carry-All Tote is for my paperwork and door prizes, etc....
And the TTA for all my tools.
 
Love the Carry All Tote -- you can really pack it full and the pockets inside are very helpful. It has handles both on the sides and the ends making it easy to carry.
 
I misspoke. I meant those wonderful things about the Consultant Tote. Sorry.

Thanks for the input. I think I will get the Consultant tote for sure and then maybe the Carry All tote for my paper work. Good suggestion. Thanks again.
 
While we are talking about totes...does anyone have any positive feedback on the rolling tote? My last show I needed my large bar pan AND my large sheet pan because I was doubling the recipe to make for a larger group. That along with most of the kit items, my TTA and a few new things, my consultant tote was packed full and HEAVY. I was thinking it would help to get the rolling one. Any thoughts?

I have the rolling tote. It's ok. You can buy a scrapbooking tote that does the same thing and it is probably more durable. The pull up handle broke on mine, I put it down at a show and when I went to pull it up, it wouldn't go. So I got mad and yanked on it and now one 1/2 of the bar is gone, but I can still use it. Personally I think the Carry All tote and the consultant tote I asked about will work better for me when I get them.

Most of the time I can only roll my bag from my car to the steps. I have to carry it up the steps, through the entry way (it won't roll over rugs) and into the kitchen. Then in the winter you can't roll it because you don't want water and snow on your hosts carpet so you end up carring it. True you can pack it full then then it is really heavy. I don't think I am going to use mine after I get the other 2 totes.
