Kitchen Tip Tuesday: Reusable Produce Bags

This year hubby and I are changing the way we do and look at things. In Dec we started using clothe shopping bags and really love them. I try to use them everywhere I keep them in the van and take them to all stores I go to.

If I happen to forget and end up with plastic shopping bags I reuse them in my bathroom trash and/or take them to Walmart to recycle or the food pantry we volunteer at for them to reuse.

But you have all those produce bags from the farmers market and the grocery store. I have been wanting to stop using them but didn't want to buy clothe produce bags or sew them. They aren't see through and the checkout people can be rude about my clothe bags so to give them one more thing.....

I have been buying oranges in mesh bags and these are plastic mesh bags sturdy and reusable. Why not use them for the rest of my produce. So I started saving them for our produce needs. I took the UPC off so they don't accidentally use that for the scanner, they are see through even better than the plastic produce bags and have drawstrings.

So another way to lessen your carbon foot print and we are reusing something that would end up in a landfill taking who knows how long the disintegrate.
