I've been using a Twist'em Up Triple Busking Bag (that I love) the last couple of years.  I recently switched over my setup for non-strolling gigs.  I've been pretty pleased with it so far and figured I would share it with you guys (as my wife's does not seem that interested to hear about it any more ).

I was looking for a bag that would hold a greater variety of balloons.  A couple people on Balloon Chat mentioned the Rolling tote XXL (found on Amazon) and I also saw it mentioned on The Magic Cafe.  Since it was under a $100 and was a lot cheaper than the large bags made specifically for balloons, I decided to give it a try.  After fully loading it, I was able to put 4,000+ balloons in it.  It has a ton of space in the middle (with dividers) for 160s, 260s, 350s, etc. and two sides of the bag have small clear pockets which are great for hearts, rounds, etc.  I like it because it holds almost all the variety I want and I don't have to fill it up as much.  After 10 hours of heavy use during line work, there was no need to restock (see picture of balloons after the 10 hrs of use).

At events, I place the bag on a folding table I bring.  I also created an info board that is attached on the front of the table/bag. The board is metal and everything on it is magnetized, so I can switch out the suggestions I provide, attach different info regarding cost/tips, attach a business card container, venue info, etc.  I have attached a couple pictures to give you and idea of what I'm talking about.  

It is a little bigger setup than my last balloon "rig", but it is still small enough that I can bring everything into a venue in one load (but if not rushed it is easier to make two trips).  And for venues that I need to walk a ways to get to, I have a small folding cart that holds everything, making it easy to carry everything where ever I go.  It is certainly not something I would use if I needed to do walk around, however most of the events I do I stay stationary and it seems perfect for my needs so far.

Thanks JC that was really helpful approximately 4000 balloons WOW!  I am waiting for my tote to arrive.  I am also going to use another tip I got on here re:liner for drawers from IKEA to wrap the balloons up in, I have just been using foam thingys/empty balloon bags tied with elastic up until now.

I enjoyed looking at your bag.

Daisy, I found some plastic containers at the dollar store.  They are marked as cracker containers and come in round or square and each hold about 125 balloons comfortably.  They are tall enough that about an inch and a half of the balloon sticks out the top.  I find the round ones are easier to load.

Thanks Millie!  I'm in UK but I hope to be in USA later this year so I'll definitely be looking them out!

I guess this may be a dumb question Daisy, but do they not have dollar stores over there?  Just curious because I get soo much stuff in ours, not balloons of course but other stuff like "jewels" for accents, feather boas that I rip apart and use the feathers from - all kinds of great stuff!

Daisy,

 I am currently just using the balloon bags to hold my balloons (see pic) and they have been doing a great job.  But, I have a couple IKEA's around my area will have to take a look at the

I think I messed up attaching the picture in my last post.  Here hopefully is the pic of how I wrap my balloons.

Hi Millie & JC,
Your dollar stores are unbelievable over there!  I wish we had them here! We have what's called £1 stores which are good but they are nothing like what your dollar ones!  

The balloons stand up brilliantly in the Ikea liners JC...I'm loving my new rig!!! (My new rig..sounds so professional)!

Lovely to talk to you!
