Let’s just jump right into this one.
Why do we want to stop using plastic produce bags?
Plastic produce bags are a waste. I don’t use them unless the sprayers recently attacked the leafy vegetables and I’m buying leafy vegetables. What I do if this isn’t this case—the majority of the time—is just put the produce in the basket because it has to be washed anyway. It seems like Matt always uses them…it drives me batty!
What about biodegradable bags?
Biodegradable bags are better but why support the need to produce them when we can re-use something instead?
What alternative will you use?
Mesh bags. I’ve thought about buying mesh produce bags for a while but never did because I hardly ever use bags anyway. Well, I changed my mind. The reason I hardly used plastic bags is because I didn’t like the waste—regardless of the handiness. With mesh, I get the convenience of 10 onions in a bag rather than 10 onions rolling around in my basket and on the conveyer belt. When they get dirty, they can be washed. It's that simple.
Where did you find your bags?
Etsy. we purchased our bags from AMK Designs. We chose the 6 pack with the storage bag and also 3 extra large bags.
What do you think?
All the mesh bags fit into the storage bag, and the storage bag clips to a handle of whatever—we attached it to our grocery bag. They offer convenience without guilt: what’s not to love.
Overall, we give it 4 ½ stars. The reason for this is that one bag was damaged in shipping. There are lots of cute designs by various sellers on Etsy. If you decide to try this out, find a seller near you to cut down on shipping and waste.
*Note: This product was not given to us to test: we purchased it. The seller is currently unaware of this review.
