reusable produce bags

clayswife · January 2010

I think this is the next best place for me to become more EF. I haven't seen any available locally- any recommendations?

Also, how many would you pick up?

oooh saving for later!

I did see a lady at the store that didn't put her produce in bags and had a basket for them to load them into after she bought everything. That was a great idea too!

I've done that from time to time- but not for things like grapes etc...

btw- did you get my PM yesterday?

LOL no. I never check them. But I will now!

I've ordered produce bags from Reuseablebags.com - they are a fabric weave, but I think I'm going to try the Flip It brand they look like they'll be easier to use these since you can see through them and they probably weigh less...I don't like having to pay extra for the weight of the bags I have.

I've always thought it'd be super easy to just use these:

Organza Bags

And they're a lot cheaper than any of the advertised ones... Also, I'm pretty sure I've seen people sell these on Etsy as produce bags (which I think is funny because it's so easy to buy them direct)...

Granted, they are probably MIC, and I'm not sure how they'd hold up to washing. Just a thought, though.

myallisonswonderland on etsy used to have some listed.

Mine are from AMK Designs on Etsy. I got them this summer and so far they've held up really well. It's a set of six and I think the most I've used at a time is 5 so far. She also sells extra large ones (fit a head of romaine for exp) and I'm thinking of buying a few of those next.

I bought mine from her, too. I have the set of 6 regular and I bought the pack of 3 XL - they all fit in the little pouch. Very well made, though I have only used them once so far.

I made mine and they were super easy - my mom was shipping me my sewing machine, but I got impatient and just made two by hand while I was watching TV. It definitely went faster once the machine got here though. LOL

If you want to make them, check the scraps bin at Joann's or another fabric store - they usually have some muslin or really thin cotton. Then you just cut two equal-size rectangles, and sew three sides together like it's a pillowcase. I added a drawstring at the top as well, but it's not totally necessary.

I've seen them for sale at various farmer's markets all the time, too. There's often a vendor near the information booth.

I bought these off Etsy and I love them! They're so very practical, don't take up much storage room, wash up great, and came in a cute carrying bag. Definitely worth the (insanely reasonable) investment Smile
