The present invention relates to an insulated shopping bag device wherein the exterior surface of the body may be comprised of at least one attachment fastener that allows the body of one device to attach to the body of a second device. As a result, the devices are secured to each other and cannot easily move or topple while in the trunk of a vehicle. The body may also be a plurality of colors and may have a plurality of indicia to indicate what items should be stored in the bag (i.e., fresh items, dry items, cold items, etc.). In addition, one embodiment of the device for cold items can be comprised of an insulated lining and lid to keep cold items at a stable temperature.

A cooler bag with a detachable liner and a liner base can be used as a carry bag when the liner is detached. The liner is attached to a base, which has short side walls at each end of the side of the base. The liner is folded up and placed in the base, which is then inverted to store the folded liner and serves as the base of the carry bag.

A rigid container (6420) to be used in an air environment, the container comprising a bottom wall (6430); and a plurality of side walls (6440); wherein said rigid container has a rim (6445) providing an opening (6450); and a lid (6460) configured to cover said opening when the lid is placed over the rim so as to provide a closed state of the rigid container (6420); and wherein the lid co-operates with the rim (6445) such that the rigid container in its closed state seals, or substantially seals, an interior storage space (6465) from the environment so as to minimize or prevent entry of air from the environment into the interior storage space.

A bag, in particular a foldable bag, comprises a tube having a closed end and an open end. The tube is of a fabric and includes at least one set of pleats. The at least one set of pleats includes at least five parallel longitudinal folds in alternating directions that extend from the closed end to the open end of the tube. The longitudinal folds of the at least one set of pleats are secured in place at the closed end of the tube. The sections of fabric on opposite sides of each longitudinal fold are arranged the one on top of the other in a folded state of the at least one set of pleats.
