Creative Ways to Repurpose Your Beehive Meals Insulated Bags

At Beehive Meals, we love making life easier with slow cooker freezer meals, but we also understand that our new shipping model means you might have a growing collection of insulated bags at home. While we work on new solutions, we’ve got some fantastic ideas to help you repurpose these sturdy bags!
1. Your New Favorite Grocery Bag
Raise your hand if you’ve ever been halfway home from the store and realized your ice cream is turning into a milkshake. 🙋♀️ Toss your Beehive Meals bag in the car and keep your cold stuff actually cold!
2. Picnic & Beach Buddy
Headed to the park, the beach, or just your backyard? Pack your favorite snacks and drinks in the insulated bag to keep them cool for hours. Bonus: No more soggy sandwiches!
3. Farmers Market Tote
Nothing beats fresh produce straight from the market. An insulated bag means no more wilted lettuce or warm cheese.
4. Emergency Car Kit
As parents, our cars often double as a snack bar, first-aid station, and disaster relief center. Keep an insulated bag in the trunk with water, non-perishables, and a few essentials—just in case.
5. Moving Day Meal Transporter
Moving is chaotic, and keeping your refrigerated goods cold in the process? Even more so. Use your insulated bag to transport cold items so they make it to your new home.
6. Gifting Made Easy
Need a thoughtful way to bring dinner to a new mama, a sick friend, or your always-helpful neighbor? Pop a meal in your Beehive bag—it keeps it warm (or cold), and they can keep the bag or pass it along to someone else in need.
7. Camping Companion
Keep your campfire goodies, drinks, and perishable items cool while enjoying the great outdoors. It’s lightweight, easy to carry, and perfect for a weekend adventure.
8. Game Day Snack Holder
If you’re in charge of team snacks, use your insulated bag to keep drinks cold and fruit fresh for the kiddos after their big game.
9. Donate for a Greater Cause
Your local food bank, shelter, animal shelter, or even schools can put these bags to great use! They’re always looking for ways to transport food, and this is an easy way to give back.
10. Storage
Use these insulated bags to store items in your garage, closets, or attic!
11. Return & Reuse
If you’re local to our warehouse, we’d love to take those extra bags off your hands! Simply drop them off at our office, and we’ll sanitize and reuse them to minimize waste and promote sustainability. Contact our customer service for drop off information.
Bonus: A Giant Coloring Page for the Kids!
Did you know the inside of our cardboard boxes doubles as a giant coloring page? Keep little hands entertained while one of our convenient family dinners simmers, then recycle them when they're done!
