Rolling tote at Canadian Costco for $27!

Hi there,
Just saw something at my local Canadian Costco that I had never seen there before... I forgot to check the brand, but it's like those large square CropInStyle rolling totes. There were side pockets along the outside and inside, some with pen loops, others with various sized pockets. The inside of the tote also had an accordion file built in, I think for 8 1/2 x 11 papers. Can't remember if there was a fabric lid. It didn't look as 'neat' as some of the more well-known totes, the fabric was thinner and not as snug-fitting, but it was a great price ($27)! I didn't actually pick one up myself but am still thinking about it... I've already spent too much lately so I may just have to wait a bit!

I have one. I use it to store my paper pads. I have a lot of DCWV ones and K&Company ones in it. If you are buying it to take to crops you do not want to load it down with lots of paper and heavy things... very heavy to lift out of car. Also when going in and out of buildings there is usually a 'lip' at the door and if too heavy need to lift over. One of my friends tried to pull through and over the lip by pulling hard and she broke hers.
All this to say I like it for storage as well as for crops as longs as not jammed full of stuff!

Do you find all the pockets handy or kind of messy to use? I don't go to crops but my current problem is I have stacks of stuff on the dining table. I normally scrap in a room upstairs where all my stuff is but my kids nap upstairs so I can't really use that room. It's just kind of a pain to be in a different room from all my stuff, so I was wondering if I should get one of those crop totes. They're so expensive, but this Costco one was so cheap I'm considering it now!
Anyone else use these totes for home only? Are they worth it?
