Reusable Produce Bags -- Rainbow Set

 

Do you ever get tired of recycling (or throwing away–yikes!) so many plastic produce bags?  We go through quite a bit of produce here at the Yankee Homestead, and I’ve recycled and discarded my fair share of those pesky plastic bags.

For the Love of Earth Reusable Produce Bags

So when my sister-in-law included these Reusable Produce Bags on her Amazon wish list at Christmas, I was intrigued.  Thankful that she’d already done the research for me, I purchased a set for her and a set for myself.

The verdict?  I love them!  No more plastic waste, and no more plastic rubbing the surface of our about-to-be-eaten produce.
For the Love of Earth Reusable Produce Bags -- pears, sweet potatoesWhen I first received my set, I wasn’t sure the mesh bags would hold up to repeated abuse from the likes of sweet potatoes and other heavy produce with sharp edges or stems.  After months of regular use, I’m happy to report that my bags have held up quite well.  They are surprisingly strong and durable!
For the Love of Earth Reusable Produce Bags in Pouch

My bags came from Kara’s etsy shop Love for Earth.  There are many different sets to choose from–quantities of three, four, seven, ten and twelve; and all sorts of color combinations and sizes. Plus, you can piece together your own set if you don’t find exactly what you’re looking for.  Kara is very accommodating!

Love for Earth etsy shopI started with a set of seven, and just placed an order for a few more.  Seven was a good start, but I still found myself using a few plastic bags on each trip to the grocery store.  Starting with a set of twelve probably would have been just right for our family.

I also love that the bags come in their own handy pouch (pictured above)–it’s just right for keeping them corralled and easy to find inside my bag of reusable grocery bags.

For the Love of Earth Reusable Products

It’s easy to keep these bags clean, too.  I haven’t needed to wash any of mine yet, but Kara recommends simply rinsing or washing in the sink with cold, soapy water.

Love for Earth also carries reusable snack bags and everyday cloth napkins, but more on those later…[Update: Check out my review of the snack bags and napkins.]

    I really like mine and definitely don’t miss all those plastic bags. It’s also amusing to see the reaction of the cashiers, at Trader Joes I usually get compliments on them whereas at the Thriftway down the street they are just confused. 🙂
