Disclosure: I received these products for free to review. The opinions in my review are honest and my own.
With how much my husband and I travel we are constantly looking for ways to save money. When we have the time to plan ahead I try to make food for us or pack leftovers that don’t need heating that we can eat in the car. The problem with most of the coolers we own, however, is that they don’t keep things cool for long, especially during long drives – and ice was always a mess before Reya joined us, nevermind now! As I was on the search for the perfect cooler for traveling and shopping, I was approached by PackIt, asking if I would like to review two of their popular freezable coolers. After doing some research online I couldn’t wait for them to arrive!
PackIt: What is It
Looking for a way to keep your food cold for 6 – 10 hours while traveling or on the go? If so, we think you will the Packit Freezable coolers. These cloth coolers are unlike any other cooler you have seen since unlike traditional coolers, they actually cool your food! All of PackIt’s cooler have freezable gel built into the bag itself, allowing you to put the whole bag in the freezer beforehand, to keep your food cool. This also allows the cooler to evenly cool everything inside, keeping everything insulated and cool longer. With 9 different sizes ranging in price from $11.99 – $29.99, and sporting a variety of cool designs, you will find the PackIt is perfect for just about anyone who wants to enjoy delicious food on the go!
PackIt: Freezable Salad Bag
Want to bring a salad with you for lunch, but have nowhere to put it? If so, you love the PackIt Freezable Salad Bag. this unique bag easily fits in your freezer and in use, keeps food cold for up to 6 hours. What makes it unique, however, is that it is perfectly sized for most salad containers or bento boxes. With the zipper closure, you can keep your salad and silverware air tight and cool, making sure your salad is perfect when lunch time rolls around. Personally, I think it is the perfect size for just about any lunch, as long as you have it in a bento or other reusable container. It is what I use for my leftovers or refrigerated snacks when we are on the go. Based on my own experience with this bag, I am happy to give the PackIt Freezable Salad Bag an A rating!
PackIt: Freezable Shopping Bag
Out of my reusable bags, the PackIt Freezable Shopping Bag has to be my all time favorite. This gel-lined bag folds up and easily fits in the freezer without taking up much of any space. As long as the bag has been in the freezer for at least 12 hours, it easily unfolds into a sizeable handled freezer bag that keeps items cold for up to 5 hours. I really put this bag to the test (accidentally) when my air conditioning went out on my car, leaving my milk sitting longer in a hot car longer than I had planned. After four hours of errands, the milk was nice and cool, leaving me confident that my dairy was well protected in the bag. After testing out this bag, I am happy to give the PackIt Freezable Shopping Bag an A rating!

It would make packing lunches nicer! and when we take some snacks to the park, I wouldn’t have to worry about finding ice packs!
I would like to win this for my mom. She has to travel a long way from home to work and from the store to home. She would love them and appreciate them. I thank you for the chance to win.
Very welcome, Shannon! I will cross my fingers! They really are awesome!
I think I’ve seen these on t.v. It would be perfect for my husband to carry his lunch in. He’s limited as to what he can take because a cooler wouldn’t cut it.
I would like to win these bags because they have nice designs. Also, I would use them to take my lunch in.
I would love the freeEable lunch bag or salad bag. My last cooler pack I had leaked so when I take my lunch it doesn’t stay cold.
Love the ability to freeze these PackIts! And the fabric is great!
These bags are so cool and I love that they are cute too!! These would come in handy! Thanks for the chance to win!
wow after reading this, i thought how nice would it be for my mom to have. She always buy milk, fish, meat which needs to be kept cool, especially summer time. This would really help her. That way she wouldn’t be in such a rush getting home.
I’ve been working to “green up” our household with reusable snack bags, metal straws, etc, so these would be a perfect compliment to our “greener” way of packing lunches!
Forgot to add that the designs are also incredibly cute, so I would have no problem toting these to the office every day. 🙂
Oh my goodness, I would love to win these for myself! I take my lunch to work as much as I can so I would be able to use these for sure!
I would like the have this freezer bag because it stylish and it is compact. I like that it folds up neatly in the freezer and expands when you need it.
My closest costco is abt 45 minutes away. These would allow me to stock up at low prices!
I would love to win these for me and my husband for lunches and for shopping. How easy and convenient to not be in a rush or not have to haul a big bulky cooler to keep things cold on a warm day.
I really need a lunch pail for work. I’ve been using grocery bags. These look perfect for the job! I have a microwave but no fridge…
Because my son is a picky eater
The store we shop at is about a half hour from home so this bag will help the food stay cooler longer (very important with the warmer weather coming up.) This would definitely help our food last longer! Thanks for the chance!
We walk to the park a lot during the summer and these bags would help keep lunches cold on the trip. Would also be great for shopping trips and taking food to church picnics.
My daughter-in-law would love these for her day trips out with the kids. They could take them to the zoo, park, or pool.
I would love this for my son he travels for work and this would be great for him
I would love to win these because we live in a rural town and to go to the grocery store, especially in the summertime, requires us to take a cooler just to make it home with the perishables still good. We also carry drinks with us a lot and fix a cooler to keep the drinks cold. These seem like they would help on our grocery shopping without fixing a cooler.
I no longer drive and need to depend on others to take me shopping. Sometimes they want to make other stops or take longer than I do to shop so my frozen foods have to stay out of the freezer for awhile and especially in the summer these bags would be a great help in keeping them cold until I get home.
There would be great for when I take road trips. I could save money by taking snacks & drinks with me!
I would like to win because this would be very convenient for me when I go to work, especially in the summer months.

These would be great for packing lunch at work, I have no refrigerator. They also would be awesome for road trips in the car, I never can seem to find the ice packs and ice is just too messy.
Being in Arizona, the shopping bag would be terrific for those summer shopping trips when I am purchasing popcicles. I am always afraid they are going to melt. The lunch bag would be great for field trip days when I can’t put my lunch in the refrigerator.

We buy quite a bit of frozen and refrigerated foods and in the winter, its no problem getting them home without them thawing, but in the summer it’s not as easy. We don’t have the hottest weather, but it does get into the 90’s so these bags would be great for bringing groceries home and also for my fiance to take a cold salad or other dish to work with her.
We have a “cooler” for when we go grocery shopping but we still have to be quick if it’s a really hot day since we cant put it in the freezer like these. We do put ice packs in to help BUT then they take up space in the cooler…its just a hassle. I would love to have these so that I dont have to worry about cold stuff getting too warm quickly.
Everyone is going away from plastic and paper bags at the store to entertain the healthy earth movement. I would love to help out and these bags would help.

My husband and I go on frequent short trips. These bags would really save us money while at the same time tacking food that are healthy.
Both my son and daughter in law work for a company where they take their lunches to save money.this would allow them to take better quality food.
I want to win these because I take my lunch to work and I’m the only one in the house who doesn’t have their own lunch container. 🙂 I also am a big fan of reusable bags and would love not having to worry about my cold products staying cold if I make more than one stop!
I would like this for my husband. He just started a new job that is wonderful, and much better than his last. But the location is not near any places that he can eat. I’d like him to please start carrying a lunch.
