People have been looking at us with curiosity in the supermarket's produce section, and again at the checkout. I don't think we look any more unusual than we used to :) but we are using reusable produce bags now, and we seem to be the only ones I've noticed! We've had lots of positive comments about them too. The Carebags reusables have certainly generated their fair share of interest - it would be great if more people started using them! Our local supermarket has started using the thinnest possible plastic produce bags ever - before we started using reusable produce bags, our fruit or veg had fallen out of the bag several times. And, the plastic bags were accumulating at our house, and there's really no way you can reuse them. I was so pleased to receive a sample of Carebags reusables, and they've been great for us!
In the weeks that we've been using the reusables, we've bought many different kinds of fruit and vegetables, and here's what we've noticed:
- you can fit a surprising amount in the bag - it's very stretchy yet very strong
- the bags are easy to take with you as they scrunch up really small, and you can even get them with a stuff sack - even easier to carry along
- produce stored in the bags in the fridge keeps really well as it can breathe
- they're see-through, so the cashier can still read the produce codes or figure out what kind of fruit or veg you've got
- the drawstring makes it easy to close the bag and keep stuff in
