I need to purchase another or two totes/bags? The only thing I have is the Carry all tote that came with the New consultant Kit. It is getting full and very heavy. I try to take only the things needed but still it is heavy. So what do you cheffers suggest??
 
I use the New Consultant Tote, the Tool Turn About Tote, and the Carry All Tote available on supply for all my shows.
 
Tool Turnabout tote for sure!
 
I agree - the Tool Turn About is an absolute must! I also like the Carry-All Tote. I don't have the new one - but I carry everything in 2 Carry-All's and a TTA Tote. 1 Carry-All has all of my products, the other has paperwork, computer, prizes, and cookbooks, and all of my tools are in the TTA.
 
I love the tool Turnabout tote too! I just got it a couple of months ago. I also use a rolling crate from staples since I don't want to invest the $90 for the PC one. I've heard a lot of people say they had it but the handle broke.
 
If you do a lot of trifles for your shows, a 2nd TTA tote is a must - it's perfect for the trifle bowl!

Is PC coming out with new totes? I have around 200 in PC $ to use. But if there will be new ones I will wait to place the order?
 
No new totes that I know of. There are three on supply and then the New Consultant Tote which replaced the red crate in January. So I doubt it.
 
I am pretty sure they willput the new consultant tote on the fall/winter supply order form.
 
That would be nice, I still have my crate.
