Produce Bags


I've gotten a lot of compliments on my re-usable produce bags while grocery shopping and thought I might as well share the love.  My sis-in-law actually gave me these for my birthday last year which was fabulous.  I love gifts that are unexpected but that are so you + functional.

It was ironic because around the same time I had been thinking about how much I loved my re-usable grocery bags and wondered how I could better utilize produce bags.  They seemed like such a waste but yet I needed to put my fruit and veggies in something.  These then showed up in my mailbox and its been bliss ever since.  I love that the package comes with 3 different sized bags for varied needs.  It's funny because I often hear people whispering to their shopping mate on how cool the bags are!

I also changed up my grocery bags after the possible lead poisoning scare that arose in the re-usable grocery bags you often see around grocery stores.  I loved ours for their big size but it was either wash them for cleanliness or get possible lead poisoning from the colored graphic on front...???  So I went to my local craft store and bought large cloth bags that are easily washable, all natural fibers, and have pockets in the front for my produce bags, my grocery list, and my coupons, win win!

Re-usable produce bags? What a genius idea! I definitely need these. I feel so terrible using several plastic produce bags every week for my fruits and veggies.
