Reusable produce bags

[rjamz]

I've gone hippy. I already use my own grocery bags (but still have Whole Foods deliver, so I guess that kinda negates the bags). I just bought reusable produce bags so I don't use the plastic ones. Does anyone use these? Do you remember to bring them with you? Are any better than others? I just got the cheapest ones

I have them. I MEAN to bring them. I never remember them. Ever. 

I'm just jealous that you have a Whole Foods that delivers. That would save me multiple trips a week. WTF Denver?

Plastic bags are banned here, so we have the reusable ones. They rock. They are kind of woven, cloth?

We keep them in the car, and I swear they multiply like rabbits in there. Whenever I buy groceries after unpacking them I throw the bags by the back door so I can remember to put them back in the car.
Otherwise I would never.

My bay area friend just came to visit and was like "woah, you have bags here!" since the hippies up there made them illegal I use mine but I have to say that I forget to half the time. I like the canvas/fabric/whatever ones more than the plastic bc they are much easier to wash. Just try to put them back in your trunk so that you always have some. I used to be much better at hippy shit like this before baby came along... sigh.

I forget mine all the time! There are so many of them and they are small so I need an extra bag just to put them in. It's not feasible when you are trying to carry a diaper bag and 2 kids! Sigh. So I rarely put my produce in any kind of bag. Especially if its just one thing like and onion or something.

I got them recently from The Container Store ( = my Disneyland). I'm still getting in the habit of using them. I hate those little plastic produce bags, so I just tell myself that every time I use one makes it worth it, even if it's not EVERY time. It took me awhile to get in the habit of bringing reusable bags to the grocery store, but now I do it almost all the time, so I'm guessing this will just take some time to sink in too.

WAIT. whole foods delivers?!

Is it a website where you order and they deliver?

I want this, despite how poor it would make me.

I usually don't use produce bags. I just let the produce be free! But I usually buy small quantities or things that are already big (like bananas).

I buy string beans that are already bagged. You know, the ones you can put in the microwave in the bag.

Marry me? Or better yet, let's begin the reverse psychology plan on our babies so that we can be IL's? i believe it's meant to be.

H calls The Container Store "the mothership".
