(I'm sure it's my fault for not looking hard enough. I bet a quick Google search would produce hundreds of relevant results.) Anyhow, thanks for the recommendation and for sharing this with everyone for Fight Back Fridays!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />KristenM<br />(AKA FoodRenegade)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2965370542440002490.post-18421560488275210412009-05-15T09:27:00.000-03:002009-05-15T09:27:00.000-03:00I'm new w/the bring your own bag thing.

The produce @ the store is always soaking wet which then goes into the plastic soaking wet.<br /><br />I found some mesh bags and bought some for the produce. It works great, but these would be great for bulk items. I find the bags I have, the bulk things could slip through.<br /><br />Thanks for the links to these great items.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2965370542440002490.post-24011221828237413502009-02-26T20:51:00.000-04:002009-02-26T20:51:00.000-04:00Love your blog-- glad i found you!Love your blog-- glad i found you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2965370542440002490.post-85459071046094626862009-02-25T20:38:00.000-04:002009-02-25T20:38:00.000-04:00Re: becca.moon and not bringing bags.

Speaking of bags! You gave me a great idea -small cotton laundry bags for bulk produce. I've got a little one for delicates and I realized it would be the perfect thing for produce. It even has a zipper. Downside is they may not be produced locally. :( I am going to see what I can find. <BR/><BR/>Very inspiring post!Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03357694767883126311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2965370542440002490.post-44424765367740022592009-02-25T07:07:00.000-04:002009-02-25T07:07:00.000-04:00YAY DIVA CUP!!!! :)hmmm i'm not sure about the cro...YAY DIVA CUP!!!! :)<BR/><BR/>hmmm i'm not sure about the cross contamination- but it makes sense. I'll have to look into that at our local health food store to see if they also have that policy. ALTHOUGH- they are kinda lax with rules... since most people who work there are of the more laid back type :)<BR/><BR/>That's a very good point- thanks! :)<BR/><BR/>ps- i think making your own would be kick bum!!Eco Yoginihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10693080137196812405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2965370542440002490.post-10081394057693063712009-02-24T22:07:00.000-04:002009-02-24T22:07:00.000-04:00thanks so much for the link!i saw something simila...thanks so much for the link!<BR/>i saw something similar on etsy before but they were rip-stop nylon and therefore kinda weirded me out! i thought about making my own... maybe i should still follow through with that idea.<BR/>anyhow, one day in bulk barn a salesperson told me that they do not allow customers to bring their own bags for the actual product because of cross-contamination when the scooper thing contacts your bag. maybe that is just bulk barn though. do you know anything about that?<BR/>either way, i'm definitely going to do it up for my fruits and veggies because i really feel guilty any time i rip off one of those plastic baggies! :D:D<BR/><BR/>P.S. i bought my first diva cup today and i am very excited!becca.moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01200324124877455186noreply@blogger.com
