It was long ago that I switched over to reusable cloth grocery bags, and I think a lot of others have too. One thing that I continued to feel unhappy about though was the produce and bulk bags.
At first I was going to make a cloth produce bag something like this...
...but I quickly realized that wouldn't be suitable for bulk items. Another concern I had was the added weight of the bag at the till when purchasing my items. I then considered sewing something out of mesh, but I didn't want it to stretch and it would have to be a very small mesh. Then the other day I came across Earthwise bags at Nature's Fare. A dream come true!
Mine in use at home after a shopping trip.
This is Earthwise's Reusable Mesh Produce Sack. For about $3, I got a pack of 3 bags which is perfect for my average shopping trip. As you can see, they can hold quite a lot and have a drawstring top. The mesh is not stretchy so it would be useful for some bulk items as well, and it is incredibly lightweight. I am thrilled to have found an inexpensive solution to my issue.
Bonus:
Happy World Environment Day!
Today is
World Environment Day (June 5th every year), and this year the focus is on our forests. I was especially luckily to attend church this morning outdoors in the woods and go for a short hike afterwards.
