i know many of u have seen those produce bags that many crafters out there make. well, why sew them. i found this idea on Frugal Living NW; she uses Tidy totes! from dollar tree! . . . pick up a pack or two for someone who cant afford it.
anyway, i decided to give it a try. i loved it!
since i take my own reusable shopping bags to the store anyway (most stores pay money for using ur own bags), taking these little guys along is really simple. i put them in a zip pocket on the front of one of my shopping bags.
and using them is tooooo easy. first, i dont have to stand in line and wait to get one of those plastic ones. u know how that is! the person in front of you is really slow at removing them.
and they are easier to deal with than trying to get those plastic bags open . . . u know what i mean . . . the tops of those plastic jobbies always want to stick together and u gotta use spit to get them undone. i have even had one upside down trying to get it open! time-waster!
i purchased 2 packs of these totes at my local dollar tree for $1 a 4-pack. these things are $3.99 at Ace hardware store (see for yourself).
one time when i was at the checkout, the cashier asked me why i had them; she thought they did something special to the fruit. i told her no, i'm just into that recycle thing. she thought the whole idea was sooo cute and convenient. i think she ran out to dollar tree when her shift was up.
so have fun with these. and think of more creative uses for them!
