Back in December we wrote about how to avoid an ice cream meltdown during those marathon grocery store visits (especially during the summer months). Now the folks over at Miles Kimball are offering the “Cooler Shopping Bag” ($8.99)—an insulated, reusable bag designed to keep the important things like ice cream, steaks, ice cream, fish and ice cream cold and fresh until they are safely at home in your freezer. (We like to use it for ice cream.)
We like this bag so much we’re going to give some away to three randomly selected commenters at the end of this month. We also like it because it eliminates the need for plastic and paper bags, which is good for environment. Is there anything this bag can’t do?

Where was “Rum Raisin” on your survey? That’s got to be the best I’ve had – and I’m a long-time Rum Raisin fan.
The bag is a great idea for instore shopping. We keep an Omaha Steak shipping cooler in the trunk of our car to put frozen foods in to drive home from the store. It has really no weight
We are a Turkey Hill three-tub family, so a cooler bag to get it home to the freezer would be quite handy! Kids love the traditional Neapolitan because there’s something for everyone. Chocolate for my 8 yr old son, vanilla for my 6 yr old daughter and “pink” (strawberry) for the baby. Mother-in-law loves the “No-sugar-added” varieties because she’s diabetic. We’re partial to Tin Roof Sundae, although that Tastykake Peanutbutter Kandy Kake sounds intriguing!
This sure sounds like a great product. Where can I get one. Would love to have this for my van = you know you go to the store and then need to go someplace else but can’t because the ice cream will melt. Thanks
we all need one of those bags!!!!!
The way we buy Turkey Hill Ice Cream I would need all three of the bags. Our freezer always has about 6 in it. Sometimes we have about 9 and it is only the 2 of us here. So you know we love Turkey Hill. I am always promoting it to my friends and in the grocery store and sometimes get into discussions saying Turkey Hill is the best of all ice creams.
Thank you for making the best.
Hi I live in Canada & feel in love with your ice cream. Sure would be great to have 1 of though bags. then I could bring home a lot of flavors
sister in law has one like this. she goes about 55 miles one way to shop and she says that it works.
Turkey Hill Chocolate/Peanut Butter is the greatest, and this insulated bag would be wonderful to get it home before it starts to melt. It takes me 45 minutes from grocery store to home, and in 90 degree weather..not always nice. The new bag also is great for the environment…..no more paper or plastic! Terrific idea!
do like do mix two or three flavors and make your own turkey hill magic
Cooler bag is a great thing when bringing in ice cream treats to school, or the beach. It keeps ice cream just cold enough to make the trip before serving.
I have two insulated bags. Making the ice cream,the treasured purchases of the day. Can never have too many of either! Mini cones for the neighbor kids make me the darie queen!
Just thinking about having some Turkey Hill ice cream pretty much brings a smile to my mouth – thanks for a delicious treat !
Yummy stuff !
That bag looks really huge. I have some frozen food bags, but its difficult to close with just two containers of Turkey Hill. The larger bag would be great. We go through about three 56oz containers a week in our home – so I am forever buying TH Icecream (the light version). The new flavors really rock!!
I have several insulated bags from Market Day and Wawa. I have no idea how I managed without them. They are pure essentials for summer shopping and do a great job keeping frozen items frozen!!
great idea
I wonder if using a thermal bag like that would help prevent ice crystals from forming in the ice cream, that’s the only complaint that I have about the last Turkey Hill ice cream I bought, maybe it was out of date?
What a fantastic idea, I may just need to get myself one of these : )
I think that Turkey Hill beats the competion “HANDS DOWN!” Bag is great idea!
Yeah!!! no more melted ice-cream.
Sounds like a great idea! We love ice cream and I am always buying it!
Ooh, I really need one of these. These 95 degree days are brutal and unless I’m going straight home I have to pass on buying ice cream. I do ask for a paper bag for ice cream even if I’m going right home. It seems to help the ice cream to hold until I can get it in the freezer.
Ice Cream is my favorite food in the world and Turkey Hill is #1! Turkey Hill Choco Mint Chip is my absolute favorite. Gotta have it every weekend! Love Southern Lemon Pie and Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup, too! Oh, and Fudge Swirl and Coffee and …
These bags are great, if you can remember to bring them when you go shopping. Alot of people are trying to use reusabe bags of all types in order to help the earth (go green!). If we
can change our habits and remember the bags every time we go shopping we’ll succeed. As a grocery cashier I get alot of tips from my customers. One way to always have your bags is to put them in your car as soon as you’re done
unloading your groceries. Once the
Turkey Hill ice cream is safely in the freezer, that is.
What a great idea to maintain the great flavor and texture of ice cream.
Sounds great! It should keep the great taste of my Turkey Hill ice cream!
Wow, this bag is awesome! I already reuse my paper and plastic shopping bags when I go food shopping and recycled them when they’re no longer usable.
OMG, just what I need to get my 4 or more cartons home! Giant grocery has it on sale at a 4/for or 5/for price all the time. I have teenagers with lots of friends who always come to our house to have ice cream. Right now I have 4 flavors open upstairs, and 5 in the freezer in the basement, never can have to much ice cream around.
This would be wonderful to have to bring it all home in!!
I think I’ll go eat some now!
What an awesome idea! I usually drag along a cooler to put my frozen products in. But then there are the times I forget to put it into the car. This tote bag would travel so much better. And could be put into the car right after putting the ice cream into the freezer. Assuming we don’t just sit down and eat it right away! : )
Great idea- will pick one up asap!
These bags are the COOLEST!!!!!!! get it? Nothing is better that a BIG bag for Turkey Hill Ice Cream toting.
Get item to tote my Turkey Hill Ice Cream home because with gas prices so HIGH, I do all my weekly shopping in one trip!
For a super treat, I make a very simple coffee cake, warm it up just so slightly, and top it off with Turkey Hill’s choco chip mint ice cream. And that’s it. Couldn’t get any simplier and it really hits the spot! No other toppings are needed! Absolutely delicious! If you make this, I guarantee you will enjoy this as much as my family.
There is nothing better than a dish or cone of ice cream on a hot summer’s day!
seven kids seven differant flavers wow
The icecream bag is a great idea for when I have extra stops to make after the grocery store and worry about my icecream melting before I get home. Also I tried your blackcherry icecream for the first time and it reminds me of icecream festivals with my grandparents. Thanks and add some more exciting flavors…… I am still waiting for the green mango tea to come in a gallon size container….
Oooohhh!!! Coooool! I want one, please! I love those wooden handles and the way you have them rolled into the fabric of the bag.
BUT, I LOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVEEEE Turkey Hill ice cream even more. Especially the Splenda made, low fat, low carbohydrate versions. HHHMMMMMM, HHHMMMMM,Good!!!!!!
Turkey Hill ice cream!!!! Gobble, gobble, gobble!!! That’s what I do whenever I get the chance to taste your ice cream!!!!
Please choose me! I love your ice cream!!!!
This is the first I am hearing about the bag. It is one of the best ideas for ice cream lovers. I especially like your new invention Duetto. The Mango Vanilla is absolutely delicious and is my favorite, second is Black Cherry so keep up the good work and you will never lose me as a customer.
I can’t imagine anyone loves icecream more than I do. I love your cooler bag idea because the best ice cream is firm enough for a person to enjoy every delicious contour! Icecream is an absolutely heavenly experience for all my senses and I have never been able to commit myself to just one flavor.
Naturally, if I didn’t have a cooler bag and my precious treat were to melt a little…it wouldn’t slow me down much. Haha.
Besides finishing off the whole gallon of COFFEE ice cream I devoured half of the gallon of orange and cream which was like have a “dreamsicle”. 98 degrees here and I should have had one of those cooler bags so I wouldn’t have had to “drink” my rasberry when I got home!!!!Delicious shake but it gave me brain freeze!
COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi, this bag looks really cool, no pun intended…LOL.
I would really like one of these, my ice cream is somewhat melted by the time I get home from the store, and of course my freezer doesnt freeze it very well, but it would be nice to at least get it home frozen before it goes into my freezer. My children really like the party cake ice cream. Love it!!!!
July is the best month of the year. Turkey Hill month. Oh I guess it’s supposed to be Ice Cream month but to us it means TURKEY HILL month because there is no other. We celabrated our 54th wedding anniversary this month with a big dish of ice cream. What’s new, we do that just about every evening, usually with Rocky Road and Butter Pecan or Eagles Football when we can find it.
Keep up the good work.
