Disclosure: I was sent a set of 5 reusable bags.
Plastic bags are terrible for the environment. That is why I choose to use reusable shopping bags. They are always in my car, ready anytime I make a shopping stop. I have been consistently using them for the past 2 years. It makes me happy not bring loads of plastic bags home with me – only to go to waste (cannot be recycled).
Reusable bags can fit more groceries in them, are heavier duty and are better for the environment!
Although my main grocery bags were reusable, I was still grabbing those thin plastic produce bags in the fruits and vegetable section. I would cringe with each bag I used. In fact, I would try stuffing a few items in one bag if I could. This wasn’t too productive since they were always tearing. It was also annoying for the checker to take things out to weight them or check on the produce code.
So I searched out a solution to plastic produce bags! I found MIRA reusable produce bags!
These reusable bags are great for fruits and vegetables! They are polyester mesh and very sturdy! The mesh is see through (so the cashier can easily see the items) and lightweight (so it doesn’t add significant weight to your purchase). Each bag measures 12 X 14 and is large enough to hold a good amount of produce. The bags secure at the top with strong nylon drawstring. The string keeps the items closed in until you take them out at home!
I have been loading up the fruits and vegetables in these. They can hold a bundle of apples, peaches and even cantaloupe. I have no fear of them breaking on me! (Also if they do, MIRA products has a one year warranty). Beyond fruits and vegetables, these sacks could be used for travel – storing dirty clothes, makeup or small accessories. Although, I am going to use them strictly to replace store plastic bags!
The produce bags from MIRA are just what I was looking for to replace the wasteful plastic store bags. I will be adding these to my pile of reusable tote bags that sit in my car – always ready for my next grocery store trip!
