What Can I Efficiently Pack in My Simple Additions Tote?

[NooraK]

To make a long story short, I ended up with a Simple Additions Tote. I don't have all that much SA, and I'm not too keen on taking what little I have to shows, at least not enough to fill up the tote.

Any creative ideas of what other items would fit in the different pockets of the tote to use it most efficiently? I'll be experimenting myself, but thought I'd tap the collective brain power of my fellow Cheffers as wel.

A stone or piece of cookware in the large pocket or even in the center of the tote (I put mine in the padded envelope to protect it - part of it would have hit another piece without the extra padding - but you could use a cookware protector or bubble wrap or microfiber towel or even your apron or tablecloth to pad, prep bowls in the pockets or smaller products - whateve fits - I'd put heavier items in to cut down on weight in the larger tote.

1. Utensils - You could fill one of the pockets with a variety of utensils, such as a spatula, tongs, ladle, and whisk. This would be great for taking to a barbecue or potluck where you may need to bring your own utensils.2. Napkins - Another pocket could be filled with a stack of napkins. This would be handy for picnics or outdoor events where you may not have access to napkins.3. Condiments - If you're bringing food to an event, you could fill one of the pockets with small condiment bottles or packets. This could include ketchup, mustard, hot sauce, and any other toppings you may need.4. Snacks - Fill a pocket with small snacks, such as granola bars, trail mix, or fruit snacks. This would be great for a day at the park or a long car ride.5. Water bottles - If you have a pocket that's the right size, you could fill it with water bottles.
