We’ve all heard the alarming stats about plastic, and even though I felt I was doing my part by reusing my produce bags to discard kitty poop, truth is whether or not you recycle plastic bags, the energy and expense of making them still takes a toll on our environment.  So I started scanning the web for reusable produce bags for my veggies, and though I found several different ones, most of them were made of canvas…who can see through canvas?  Which meant that the grocery teller would have to open the bags and possibly put their grubby little hands on my veggies (yes, I know it’s illogical, especially given that several hundred people probably put their grubby little hands on my veggies before I even know it!). But I digress.  So just imagine my excitement when I found reusable produce bags that are virtually see-through!!

Flip & Tumble

I am so loving my Flip & Tumble Reusable Produce Bags (set of 5/$10.95) from ReusableBags.com!  The Flip & Tumble bags are made from breathable, durable polyester, are compact and lightweight with drawstring closure, and resist staining and shrinking better than natural fiber bags. Plus, the fine mesh allows you to use them for smaller bulk items.  Keeping them clean is a cinch – simply machine wash and line dry.  And let me tell you, I turned some heads at the farmer’s market recently, everyone wanted to know where I got them!  They are definitely a smarter and cooler alternative to plastic produce bags!

Reusablebags.com specialize in providing a huge selection of reusable shopping bags and related accessories.  And check it out, they’re having a fab Summer Sale!  Take advantage of some serious savings on some of their other popular high-quality items:
