Omg I cannot even begin to count. Way too many, I would love to have these in my atsenal and would use them every day!

My family has been using the reuseable grocery bags for awhile now but I feel totally guilty when it comes to using the produce bags! I always try and go without or put several items in one bag. Then of course the clerk has to take them out at check out, but it cut back on how many I used overall. We probably use around 5 a week with my methods, but to eliminate them completely would be great! Thanks!

Yikes, I think I use a lot— maybe 6-8? I have gotten on board with using the big grocery bags every week, but haven’t converted to these. Maybe that will be a goal for this year!

To be honest, I shop the local market, so I don’t use them at all. I just load up my basket

I probably use 4-5 bags a week. I would love to have a reusable bag!

I use too many – probably 5-10 if I think of the produce bags from the store. I do use tupperware for lunches which results in a lot of dishes.

Unfortunately, I think I probably use around 8 of those bags per week. Reducing that number will be a goal of mine for this year!

way too many :( I would say I average about 7 or more

These are amazing, I had no idea they existed! We use too many, more than I’d like to admit! We eat a lot of produce so I cringe to type 8 or more. I have to say that this post is very motivating to get my act together and be more eco friendly. Thank you!

Hummm, probably about 6-8 a week? Way too many

I probably only use one or two. I only use them for wet, awkward stuff, like bunches of lettuce or herbs. But these would be much more efficient than just carrying the rest of produce loose , like I do. I do the best I can to keep them all grouped together, but they inevitably get separated and the cashier ends up ringing up lemons three times as they try to corral them all…

O gosh, I’ve literally never thought about it! Maybe 8?!?

Gosh – I’d be embarrassed to say how many – I buy a lot of produce. Let’s say on average for a week I probably use about 10

Thanks for the giveaway – I love finding ways to eliminate waste and this is a great product for that.

I’d be emarrassed to say how many since I buy a lot of produce but if I had to guess I’d say on average per week about 10. Thanks for the giveaway.

Oh goodness! Probably five or six. I never bag things that unless they’re wet but still use too many bags!

I do my best to keep the number minimal. We mainly shop at a local vegetable/fruit market and they only offer plastic bags for lettuce. They reuse all of their baskets as well!

I use 20 or more since I buy so many different types of produce. At the farmer’s market, I bring my own bags but had never thought about it at the grocery store. Do you store your F/V in these in the fridge as well? Do you wash them regularly since the conveyor belt at the grocery store is so dirty?

Oh dear, 5-6? I feel guilty, but I DO use them when I scoop out the cats’ litter boxes. I’ve been wondering if they could make these out of cornstarch, so they’d be biodegradable.

We’ve really tried to cut down on plastic bags, and use about 1 or 2 every 2 weeks. These would be very helpful though.

This is so great! I’m a museum studies student (as well as a foodie) and just presented an exhibition plan last night titled “It Ain’t Easy Being Green.” My very first topic looked at the fact that people use reusable grocery bags all the time but somehow overlook the wasteful plastic produce baggies. I don’t use produce bags for that reason but would love to corral my vegetables with these mesh ones. Perfect for the farmer’s market!

I probably use 2-3 a week.

I could use some of these bags! My drive my roommate crazy by washing all her ziplock bags and reusing them myself, so the drainboard is full!

We probably use no more than 4, since I don’t typically bag things like oranges, onions, potatoes and we buy apples at the Farmer’s Market with a reusable bag. But we do buy pre-bagged carrots & celery, so I guess that adds to our plastic use, too…

I probably have at least 8 or 9 a week. I do reuse them, though, as doggy trash bags or kitty litter clean up bags.

Before I joined a CSA for most of my veggies, I probably used about 5 a week. Yuck!

Probably only one or two, but only because I will totally juggle ten apples rather than use a bag. This would be so much more convenient!

I use about 2-3 per week, depending on what I’m getting and where I’m shopping. These would be great to use!!

oooh i probably use about 4 a week

I probably use about 5 of those plastic bags a week. This is a great item!

i use about 4 a week. Rather than just throwing them out I reuse them around the house

I probably only use 2 just for small loose items but my husband does most of the grocery shopping and will use 6 or more, he has a slight issue with food touching lol

We definitely use at least ten a week. It’s so bad! My daughter is a fruit-a- holic so we eat a lot of produce each week.

These are awesome! I probably use 5 or so a week and would love to stop using so many!

I shop for one, but probably around 6.

I try not to use them often, but probably 5 a week.

None, I use reusable produce bags, unless I forget to put them back in my car after I go grocery shopping.

This is a hard one since I’ve never really thought about it, but I bet its about 7-8 bags per week.

I must use at least 10 of those plastic bags every visit. Question: are these bags good for meat because I use the plastic for meat as well.

We shop at Whole Foods so I try very hard to use the brown paper bags they have around the produce section…however, they don’t always fit all of the produce that we buy!! Between making healthy dinners for myself and my husband and making food for our one year old I buy A LOT of produce. We probably use between 10-12 of those bags a week!!

I always feel so bad using the plastic produce bags! I use maybe 3-4 a week.

please don’t hate me for being honest, but i probably use hundreds of those plastic bags a week. i shop every day (because we only eat fresh produce in general and we move too often to have a garden) so i buy small quantities of lots of different things on a daily basis. it’s something i have thought about in passing, because i also thought it odd that i stuff my reusable grocery bags with tons of plastic bags. i think i’m going to have to invest in some of these!

One or two.

Probably around 2-3

I probably use 10 or so. As a vegetarian, we eat lots of produce! Hopefully our garden will help out with this this year though!

def never thought of it, and I am a firm believer in my cloth grocery bags! Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to think about the veggie bags!

I try to not use any, which is why these bags are so cool! (I end up with probably 2 every few weeks)

I use about 4-6 a week.

At least 4 – apples/broccoli/cucumbers/green beans

oh jeez. i try not to use that many, but i think that i probably use between 3-5.

Ooh, these look so handy! Usually I just skip the plastic produce bags altogether. It kind of confuses the cashiers, and it usually means I end up with bits of asparagus falling off and ending up in the bottom of my regular grocery bags.

I’ve never seen these before and they’re amazing! I used to use about 7 or 8 a week but have aimed to narrow it down to 3 or 4 – these would completely eliminate them!

I love these bags. So often when I’m in the produce section, I cringe when I grab a plastic bag and think I need to get reusable ones. Alas, 3 kids and I never remember to order them :( We use 4 or 5 a week. What great inspirations for Earth Day!

I usually use about 4-6. I need to get some reusable produce bags as well! What a great idea!

Even for my small household of two, I think I use four bags a week. Thanks for the giveaway chance!

I love these!! Win them or not, I am buying some.
I would guess I average one a week. I usually leave my produce loose and cringe when I see it rolling down the yucky belt.

WOW!! I’ve never heard of these bags!! We probably use about 5-8 produce bags, depending where we shop for produce that is. I sometimes get produce at Costco, where it comes in one huge bag that we won’t go shopping for produce for at least a couple of weeks.

I use between 6-8.

People use too many! :P I probably use about two per week, but I reuse them when I go back to the store. :)

It totally depends on the week, but probably 10-12???

I try to only put items in that are necessary, but I still use too many:(

I love these bags! But I don’t have enough to cover the weeks groceries. I reuse my plastic produce bags as much as possible, but I probably (re)use about 3 a week

Unfortunately, about 3 – and at the farmers market! I try not to ask for a carrying bag, at least.

Probably only one or two. We’ve been using Green Beans so that cuts down on them ALOT!

We use very few, because I shop with reusable, but produce bags would help so much! We probably use about 4 plastic bags each week.

Way too many, unfortunately.

I really try not to use the plastic bags unless it’s an herb or something that could potentially lose a bunch of pieces on the way home. So maybe 2 a week?

I am terrible with thos plastic bags. I usually use about 8 a week. I like to think I am repurposing them but I know they are just horrible to use overall. Trying to break that!

I try to reuse plastic bags at home, so maybe 2 or 3 a week?

I am that sucker who has loose produce rolling all over ther cart. I need these bags! :)

I probalby use about 2 per week. I don’t have cloth bags, but I try to not use a bag at all in some cases, when possible.

The grocery store that I buy produce at uses paper sacks so that helps but I think I use 5-6 a week.

Unfortunately, I’d say I use 3 or 4 each week…

Ooh, those have been on my amazon wishlist for months! I’ve never seen anyone using one, but you’re convincing me to take the plunge! We probably use about 5 a week.

Hate those plastic produce bags. Hate, hate, hate! No idea they made reusable produce bags. I’d say I prob recycle at least 10 a week? Crazy!

I actually use maybe one produce bag per week… but not because I don’t buy produce! Since I’m too lazy to buy/make my own reusable produce bags, I’ve solved the problem by deciding to just not put my produce into bags if I can help it, which I’m sure the person ringing me up just LOVES.

oh.. those bags! I have been trying to keep them and re-use them.. but these would be way cooler to whip out of my purse!
Right now I have at least 7 of them in my re-use-able bags and I have been using the same ways for at least 2 months!

I probably use about 6-10 of those plastic produce bags – would love to have these to use instead!

I’d estimate 4 or 5 bags a week. These mesh bags look fabulous!

I haven’t ever really thought about it, but maybe 4? I try to use one bag for a few items if I can, unless they have to be weighed.

We actually almost leave the produce on its own, which is bad because it gets bruised. But for the items that get wet or are really small, like mushrooms, we go through about 5-6 a week.

6-8 depending on the week. Too many that’s for sure

I use probably 5 or 6 a week. although i have reusable bags for groceries i still have to use the plastic produce bags. these would be awesome

probably 2-3. i am obnoxious and sometimes just let individual things rattle around rather than use the bags!

I prolly use 6-8 a week depending on what I’m cooking. These are a great idea!

Ooh..these are so cool. I use reusable grocery bags but I’ve never been able to find a good solution to the produce stuff. I usually don’t use anything if I can avoid it. I use probably three to four per week for wet stuff.

Unfortunately, 4-5 a week. It’s awful!

Eeeek…more than I’d like to admit. I think I use a minimum of 6 from a weekly grocery trip.

Probably 2-3 on most weeks, but depending on what I plan to make it could be up to 5 or 6.

oh man, we probably use at least 5 or 6 produce bags a week!

Probably at least 5.

I try to avoid them when possible, but I probably use a few a week during the winter (in the summer we subscribe to a CSA and visit our farmers’ market).

Unfortunately probably 5-10 depending on what produce I need that week. I’ll be buying these even if I wouldn’t win, because I’ve been looking for an alternative.

Ugh, I probably end up using at least 5 and I always feel bad about it! Would love to try these out.

I would probably use 4. We have a local farmers market in my town twice a week. I can’t wait for it to start up!

I probably average 1-2 a week. I like the idea of these mesh bags!

Wow. We go through so many plastic produce bags! I’m thinking we use around 15 bags each week. I cringe when I get home and start unpacking the produce because all those bags go into the trash. :(

I don’t use any, I really hate the ones in the grocery store, but then my produce rolls around everywhere. These would be great to keep that from happening!

I try really hard not to use the produce bags. For most things, I just put them in my cart, but I know the cashiers get frustrated because it makes a little more work for them. In reality, I would guess I use no more than 1 per week…but it would definitely be more convenient with these bags so I don’t have to dig around in the basket for all of my rogue produce. :)

3-4 at the grocery store, and then up to 5 ziploc bags to transport my fruit & veggies to work.

I use about 4 a week. These reusable ones would be great to have.

Maybe 2 or 3/week? I usually just put thing directly in the cart if possible.

I try to leave the veggies out of the bags, but I would say that I use at least 2-5 on a weekly basis. I would love to pack these in my reusable grocery bags:)

I don’t use plastic produce bags because I know they are bad – so my fruit and veggies just roll around in my shopping bags. I’d love to have something eco-friendly to contain them!

Roughly about 3 per week. These would be awesome!

In the winter we use a whole lot more, at least 15. But in the summer when we have our CSA box and our garden, it’s only a couple of them

2-4 bags a week at least! Good food for thought to chew on. :)

We use cloth bags but keep some plastic ones for garbage containers around the house. These are cute!

Depending on the week I’d guess 3-7.

We definitely use a lot of plastic produce bags-we like to eat fresh veggies, and haven’t had a chance to build up our garden yet. :/

I use at least 3-4 a week. Would love to win a set of these!

We use at least 6 bags per week. I would love to try these out!

5-7….which is weird when I think that I will use those without giving it a second thought, but I always use my reusuable grocery bags!!

I probably use 6 to 10 a week. I’ve been meaning to buy these and just never get around to it. happy Earth day!

I get most of my produce from a CSA, but I probably still use 2-3 plastic produce bags/week…

I would guess 5-7 a week, though obviously it’ll depend a little on my meal plan for that week.

I’d estimate 3-4 a week! these are awesome!

I imagine we use at least two or three a week…I try to be good about storing mostly clean ones to be used if we get veggies from the CSA in the summer to store away, but they get pretty grody and I’m not as good about washing out plastic bags.

Any produce I can leave OUT of those bags, I do. But I probably average 5-6! Not so good.

I don’t use any because I have a set of these bags. But one set is not enough. I use them for more than just produce. And the checkers at my grocery store love them.

We have made many changes but not this one. I probably use 7 plastic produce bags a week. We ear lots of fruits and veggies. These would be a great solution!

I use 5 or 6 a week…I haven’t seen these before but I LOVE them!

I try to not get the plastic bags, but 2 o 3 if I am buying multiples.

Ah – do I have to admit it?!? I would say 5-10 depending on the week. These would b great!

Sadly, I probably use between 5-10 a week. I mostly buy fresh produce and shop atleast twice a week. These bags are a great idea! Thanks for sharing Annie!

Eeek, I use too many to say! These look amazing.

Even with a CSA, we must use at least 5-6 bags a week…

I use about two bags a week during the winter, but none in the summer because of our awesome CSA.

I use 3-4 / week. Thanks for hosting this giveaway

Yep, I probably use 4-5 a week, though I try to skip them for hardier produce, like lemons and limes, and just through those in my regular grocery bags.

Probably 2-3 per week.

Probably 3-4 each week, depending on our meals for the week!

I try to avoid using the plastic bags in the produce aisle as much as possible, but sometimes you can’t avoid it- lettuce, kale, beans, etc. So I would say I use 1 or so a week.

I try to use as few as possible and just let my lemons roll around the cart – probably not the best system! I do use them for brussels sprouts & little things – so probably 3 a week. I could definitely use a bag upgrade!

I’d probably use 3 a week…

I have never even heard of these bags. What a great idea. I probably user 3-4 bags a week.

I had a set of similar bags, but slowly they’ve been falling apart. All of those produce bags are killing me!

I use at least 4 a week! I saw a friend with these bags a few weeks ago at the grocery store and I’ve been meaning to get them.

I’m guessing 3-5 bags per week.

We live mostly on veggies, as I juice them every morning for breakfast, and we have at least 2 sides of veggies for each dinner. I (sadly) use at least 5-10 bags per week. =( If I don’t win I may just have to pick some of these up!

We probably use 4 a week. These would be great to cut down on that!

I use about 3-4 produce bags per week..eek! I do have reuseable grocery bags but even then i get quite of few plastic grocery bags a week too! but we use those as trash bags or lunch bags or even doggie pick-up bags when we go on walks…

Oh wow, i’m now officially embaressed. In a week I buy 3 heads of lettuce, a bag of peppers, maybe a garlic or two and an onion or two. So 6 bags a week!!

I would say around 4-5 a week. I never even thought about how wasteful that was!

I would guess 6-8 bags a week :(

These are great. I probably use 6-10 each week!

Probably 6 – 8

I probably use at least 5 or 6 a week. I’ve never seen these mesh bags before, awesome idea!

I am SO excited that you posted these!! I had no idea they even existed!! Even if I don’t win, I’m buying them ASAP! I always feel horrible using so many bags at our local market. I try to put as many different fruits/veggies in one bag ( as long as they’re not a sale by the weight type fruit… they don’t really like me when I try that…) I still go through probably 3 or 4 each week….. I do still recycle them though by using them to pick up after my dog on our walks :)

I think I use at least 2-3 bags/week but I would LOVE to win this give away – I just cringe everytime I reach for one. I never knew these exsisted!!!

I love these! I have never seen these anywhere. I stopped using the plastic ones in the store probably a year ago and just grab an extra hand basket to put in my cart to put loose produce in while shopping.

I try to go without the bags when I can but I use at least 2-3 bags a week for the smaller items that can go without!

I buy a lot of produce so maybe 10-15?

Honestly, I have gotten pretty good at just tossing most of my produce in my one big canvas trader joe’s tote…but for loose little things like mushrooms or big wet things like lettuce, sometimes a plastic bag is a necessity. I’ve been meaning to get some reusable produce bags for a long time. My official answer: 1-2 per week.

I think we use about 3 plastic produce bags a week.

i use 7 – 10 bags EVERY week. I’ve always wondered why they use them! whether I win or lose I’m going to buy these! Thanks :)

I use about 6 per week.

I go to the grocery store for produce once per week and probably use at least 5 of those “green” plastic bags. Ughh!

Wow – I had not thought of this before! But so true! The effort of remembering reusable bags seems so silly if they are packed with plastic ones still! I would say we use close to 10 plastic produce bags with each weekly grocery shopping trip… hopefully soon to be replaced with these instead! Thank you!

I use 5 each week on average!

We buy a LOT of produce, so I use anywhere from 10-15 per week. I have looked into getting reusable produce bags, but they’re pretty expensive when you consider how many I’d have to get! The plus side is that we recycle or reuse all of the bags we get. I have started saving some mesh bags that one of our local stores uses for potatoes, so hopefully I can figure out how to reuse those for other produce!

I have recently been trying to get more fruits and veggies into my diet, so now I would say I use 5-6 bags for produce a week.

We are constantly buying produce throughout the week, so I’d say we’d use at least 5!

I buy a lot of fresh produce every week so I know that I use a lot of produce bags. But I also try to fill the bags as much as possible to reduce my usage then I’ll separate everything once I’m in line. I also use the produce bags to put my fresh meat into so that I don’t get raw meat juice in my cloth grocery bags. So I probably use 3-4 produce bags with every trip to the grocery store!

You know what really drives me crazy though? Its the bag boys who can SEE that’s I’m using cloth bags and still put my glass bottles or greeting cards in SEPARATE paper bag or put my milk in a SEPARATE plastic bag! WTH?!? I’m trying to REDUCE here! :-)

Probably 4 on average. I think these bags look awesome!

Too many! Probably about 5-10. I definitely need the mesh ones instead.

Too many! I bet at least 4-5 per week. I reuse them by putting them into my diaper bag for stinky diapers or clothes to bring home but I still bring home many more than I can find good uses for.

We use 4-5 bags a week.

I probably use 3 per week.

I hate those little plastic bags! I probably use about 2 a week. I’ve attempted to make my own mesh produce bags, but was quite unsuccessful. Thanks for the giveaway!

I use about three a week

I hate to even think of how many of those produce plastic bags I use – ugghhh. My best guess is at least 6-8.

Hello Annie! I use one a week. I put all my produce in one bag and seperate it at the register then repack. This would be a better option!
Happy Earth Day to you & yours!

Geez – I probably use 5-10. I keep reusing them but shouldn’t in the first place I guess.

I go grocery shopping once a week, and I easily use about 10 of the plastic produce bags!

I’m big on fresh fruit and veggies so I’m sad to admit that I must go through at least 7 each week. I’ve never seen these before and they look great!

Have never seen these before- great idea! After seeing this, I am adding to my goal of discontinuing use of the plastic grocery bags AND produce bags – winning these would help! ;-)

Hmm, maybe 3? Most of our veggies come from a CSA, but we do buy extra. I hate using them when I need to because it’s such a waste!

SORRY – adding to my previous comment (so that i qualify) – I use approximately 6 of these bags a week.

Hmmm….probably 4?

We use 5-10 plastic bags per week.

I don’t use any plastic bags–but end up with damp items that have been co=habitating with my bunches of cilantro or green onions. I would love these bags!

I use probably 4-5 a week. A lot.

I use it twice a week, every time I go grocery shopping!

Oh man, too many to count! We mainly eat produce and meat, so it’s a lot of those bags. I’ve never heard of these before, but what an AWESOME idea! Thanks for the giveaway Annie!

I try to leave my produce un-bagged as long as it isn’t too wet. I use bags for produce that sits in the “mist” area and loose greens…I buy tons of produce so I probably use 3-4 per week and leave the rest unbagged. I make sure to thoroughly wash especially those items before eating!

Way too many- probably at least 5/week. I hadn’t thought about how much that was adding up!

3-4 a week probably.

We use about 2-3 bag each week and return them to the store with our other plastic bags to be recycled. I’m horrible at remembering to grab my reusable bags!

Oh man do I need a set of these. I buy a lot of produce, so probably at least 10 a week? That’s terrible!

I use 3 per week when taking home wet, leafy veggies, but sometimes the cashier weighs my peppers and apples on the scale without a bag. It would be nice to try something reusable that I could feel good about using for all my veggies at the store.

I would guess 5 come home with me each week. I do my best to repurpose them, but not having them would be better!!

My eco-friendly goal is to start composting this year!

These look great! Around 4 bags a week…yikes!

We use probably 2 or 3 a week.

Oh man, probably at least ten!

Too many! Probably 5/week

1-2 every 2-3 weeks. I often just place produce straight in my cart.

I probably use around 4-5 each week. I have never heard of these before; they’re such a good idea.

5-6 i would say on average, didn’t even know these existed!

I buy a lot of produce and I probably use about 8-10 per week. Yikes!

Anywhere from 4-6 per week

I try not to use produce bags honestly! Especially if its something like 1 onion or 1 bunch of broccoli or bananas. But apples, oranges, etc.. do go into the bags, I’m guess 2 a week.

I usually try not to use the bags unless it’s absolutely necessary (for greens and such), so I probably only use 1 or 2 each week!

Wow, I have never seen these before! I buy a lot of fresh produce since I love it and I make my own baby food, so probably about 4-5 a week. :-

2-5 depending on the week

I use very few. If I buy less than 3 -4 of a certain item, I don’t get the bag. I just put them in my cart. However this year we plan to buy more from the local market, which is within walking distance. So some produce bags would come in very very handy.

Oh that makes me crazy. Or if I happen to forget my cloth bags, I ask for paper and the bagger still gives me plastic bags for certain things. I actually got into an argument with one bag person who claimed it was store policy that she HAD to put my meat in a plastic bag. And not just one plastic bag for all the meat, but each package had to go into a separate bag. My head nearly exploded that day.

At least 8 :/

I use between 4-6 a week at the least, sometimes more, sometimes less. I try to make good use of them at home so they don’t just get thrown away.

I’m going to guess 4, but it really depends on the week!

4 on average, there is a crochet project mats for the homeless that uses the plastic bags to make mats to sleep on. Also did you hear of the new species of mushroom recently found that eats plastic? http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/this-could-be-big-abc-news/more-mere-magic-mushrooms-154207424.html

Sadly, I use about 8-10 plastic produce sacks a week.

I probably use about 4-5 a week. These bags look like a great alternative!

I probably have about 7 in my fridge at all times.

I try to not use the plastic bags and just carry onions and potatoes and everything in just a cloth bag…but probably a couple plastic bags make it in…

Oh gosh we probably get 4-5 each week! I keep them and use them as bathroom trashcan liners but they still pile up. These look awesome!

Hmmm. Probably 3 a week :(. These bags look great!

At least 5.. I have never seen these before- awesome!

I’d say an average of 1 a month. I almost never use them for anything and they don’t have them at the farmer’s market that we use for almost all our produce…lots of canning and freezing happens at our house!

Heather

Probably about 6. I’ve been eyeing these other options. Hopefully I’ll win these!

I try and use as few as possible, but I think that I use about 5 per week

I must use at least 10 plastic produce bags each week. I feel so silly, because I always bring my own bags to carry groceries home it, but they’re filled with plastic produce bags!

I would love these! I use probably about 10 bags each week. I hate it but usually don’t have any better options!

4-5. I’ve been planning on making some mesh ones though. Good reminder!

I think I use about 4-5 a week. The mesh produce bags you posted are a perfect solution!

I probably use about 3 a week. I try to only use them for herbs and fruit — everything else ends up in a big produce jumble in my cart!

I try not to use the plastic bags, but sometimes 3. Usually, my produce ends up in a big stack in my basket and-I’m sure-annoys the cashier when he/she has to weigh each type. These Flip and Tumble bags would surely be helpful (and the cashiers will thank you)!

I try not to use them, so maybe 1 a week but I would love some reusable ones.

Too much!!! Probably 6-8 a week.

I use three to four, depending. However, I do ‘recycle’ them and use them as freezer bags for my home made bread…..so all is not a loss. I use them several times and then throw them away.

I’d say I use 2 per week.

I have had my eye on these bags for awhile. Need to use so I can set an example to my children.

Wow, I can’t believe I haven’t used these yet. I think I go through 8 produce bags per week.

I actually try not to use any – I really want bags like these, but haven’t gotten around to getting any… so I tend to throw everything together into my shopping bag (I have a scanning option at my grocery store, so I scan and bag as I shop).

What a fabulous idea! I’ve never seen these! I use way too many now that you mention it…:( maybe 6 or 7 a week.

At least 4/week. Way more during the winter when our CSA isn’t supplying most of our produce.

Oh wow… probably about 10-15. I didn’t even know these exsisted!

We use at least 3-4 bags per week.

I use about 0-5 a week. I usually take old ones to the store but sometimes I don’t take enough of them. I try to re-use them unless they are really gnarly. (They are kind of hard to wash & dry.) This is something that bugs me – and I’m in Santa Monica which has imposed a plastic bag ban (yayyyyy!!!)
Really appreciate the eco conscious vibe in your blog…

My family eats alot of fruit and vegetables each week….most of my shopping cart is filled with items from the produce section. Along with the produce comes the dreaded plastic bags….I would say we uses at least 10 a week….maybe even up to 15!!! I would love to break the plastic habit and these bags are just what I need to get started!

My family eats alot of fruit and vegetables each week…..our grocery cart is mostly filled with items from the produce section. Along with the produce comes the dreaded plastic bags to get them home….I would say we use 10-15 a week…..yikes!!! I would love to break the plastic bag habit….these produce bags are just what I need to get started!!!

Too many!!! Probably 6 to 7 per week. I hate using so many and try to reuse them at home!! I didn’t know they made mesh produce bags! How awesome!

I’d guess 5-7 a week. I go grocery shopping every two weeks and I think 10-14 bags of produce is accurate.

I try to use as few as possible. I think the cashiers get very annoyed, but I don’t need the plastic bags. These reusable bags look amazing!

Probably 2-3 every week. Yuck!

Probably 4-5 produce bags per week.

I probably use approximately two or three per week.

On a typical week, I probably use three produce bags. Some times more.

Too many–probably 3-4, but I do try to recycle them and I do use reusable bags for my general shopping.

Ugf, this is one thing I really want to change for us because we do use quite a bit of the plastic produce bags. I’d say on average we use 15-20 per week because I don’t currently have reusable produce bags. I’d love to get my hands on some though!

oh probably around 2-3 per week….sometimes i’ll just grab a few fruits from the grocery store and NOT grab a plastic bag, but most often, yes i still use plastic bags for the fruit and veggies.. :(

I’d guess around 10. I try to double up non-weighed items like green onions and cilantro, but we eat so much real food that it’s hard not to use so many!

I don’t use any right now because I’m on my school meal plan, but I would love to have these bags so I won’t have to use those plastic bags next year when I move into my apartment!

maybe 2-3? I cook for one, so I don’t buy a ton of produce every week. One fruit, one to 2 vegetables, that’s it!

Probably 2 or 3. Would love an alternative!

Probably five. Yeesh.

Those plastic bags make me cringe everytime I throw one away. I would say I use 3 per week.

Maybe 3-4?

I end up with 5-10 per week.

I’ve never even heard of these. What an awesome idea! I definitely use at least 3 produce bags per week.

I probably end up with 2-3 per week!

Oh my gosh. I probably use AT LEAST 15 a week, but it’s probably exponentially more since I changed my diet to include a wider range range of fresh stuff and way less packaged stuff. So, bottom line, I use TOO MANY.

Oh man this is the one aspect of grocery shopping I haven’t eco’d up. I bet I use 4 or 5 a week. I could definitely use these!

With a family of seven, I don’t even want to think about how many of those I use, probably around 8 a week- yikes! I would probably be more likely to buy healthy produce with these gems!

We probably use about 12 plastic produces bags a week.

Only a few–I have a set of these already but I’d love another to cut the plastic altogether!

We almost never use the bags. Just throw it all in the cart and then into the reusable shopping back. Some items from our green bean delivery come in plastic bags and I just throw them back in the bin so they can be resused.

i use 3-4 a week. i never knew about this product. what a good idea! :D

We buy tons of produce when we make trips to the grocery.. we probably use 5-6

About 5-10

These bags look awesome! Even if I don’t win, I’m glad to learn about them. We eat a lot of different types of fresh produce and we also use those plastic bags for meat, so we go through a lot of them. I’d estimate 10-15 each week.

We shop regularly at the farmers market and lob it all into the reusable bag together! We still go the the grocery once a week, and probably use about 2 or 3

4 to 5

We probably only average 1 plastic bag every other week. I try not to use plastic bags for most produce, but when you get something wet or too small (like fresh herbs or green beans), the darn bags seem unavoidable! I’ve been looking for something like these, so I’ll definitely buy even if I don’t win! Thanks! :)

we only use a few, but I generally only use them for produce that is wet…everything else is fine loose.

I’d say 5 a week.

Thankfully, I only use maybe three or four because I buy my produce exclusively from the farmer’s market and my CSA, and just load what I can onto their scale and then straight into my bag. I would love to make that number zero though! These look like a fantastic addition to the shopping trip.

This is absolutely genius!!! We use 6-7 plastic produce bags every time we go to the store :-(

probably 3-5. what a great idea!!!

I use about 4 a week, but would love to own some of these wonderful bags so I could use less plastic!

Some weeks are better than others on this since I always forget to put my reusable bags back in the car . I would say on average 7 bags

I use about two bags for produce each week.

I use 3-5 produce bags each week. When I buy only 1 or 2 of an item, I try not to bag it. I also reuse the plastic produce bags in an attempt to be a little greener. This is the first I’ve seen of the reusable ones – what a fabulous idea. I very well may end up buying them if I don’t win!

I don’t use, but maybe 5 a year. A lot of times I buy it not bagged at all or use my own.

Sadly I probably use about…8-10 in a given week. I’ve always thought more about the actual grocery bags being plastic than the produce bags!

probably 5-6 and i cringe every time i tear one off the roll.

During the winter, usually 5-6 a week, and less in spring and summer since I do much of our produce shopping at the farmer’s market

I probably use 3 or 4, and yes, they go into reusable shopping bags which does seem ridiculous.

I probably use about 8-10 of those produce bags a week :( it’s bad but these bags seem like such a great alternative! never knew about them until now. even if i don’t win, I’ll probably purchase these anyway :)

More often than not I just put produce loose in my cart since I’m going to wash it well before use anyway. However, it does worry me a little as it gets tossed around loose and of course that doesn’t work for smaller items either. I never knew these existed and they’re the perfect solution. So winning some would cut down my three or four bag a week use to none!

Oh, fun. I could probably save anywhere from two to ten plastic bags per grocery trip (depending on how many vegetables it takes to build that week’s meals) with something like this. It’s funny, I have switched to reusable grocery carry-bags but not for the items that go into those bags. Will have to look into it!

I use way to many probably 6 and have not seen these bags.

Probably about 6 which is way too many. Feels odd to buy organic and then throw it in a plastic bag though.

5-6. We eat a lot of produce. EXCELLENT IDEA!! I hate using plastic too, and even if I don’t win I am going out to buy some of these!

These would be awesome, every time I go to the store lately I think about how much plastic I am wasting with produce bags! I think I would use at least 5 every week. :)

Sadly too many, about 3-4. I would love to have these reusable bags!

I would guess I use 3-5 a week.

On average one or two. I try not to use them at all unless the produce is going to go everywhere.

5ish :(

We probably use 4-6 per week.

I try to use as few as possible, maybe 2-3. There are always stray mangos rolling around in my cart, but I can’t really pile green beans in there:) Love these bags!

These bags look awesome! I use about 4 of those plastic produce bags a week but trader joes packages all the produce in tons of plastic and styrofoam so I would love to work on eliminating that waste as well.

Ah…I use about 15 of those bags each week.They do get recycled as lunch bags though.

We don’t shop every week and we use some plastic from the store. Like for meats.

5-6 per week. I don’t like using them, but sometimes have no other option for wet, bulky produce. I do try to recycle them, though. A set of these bags would be fantastic and I’d feel better about filling up our reusable shopping bags with something else reusable!

Love these! I try to get away with as few as possible but it still adds up to three or four a week.

I use probably 5 per week, but these bags look awesome, I’d love to start using them instead!

I would say about 6 per week

I buy a lot of my produce my local farmer’s market so I have been able to cut down on the bags. However, I still supplement at the grocery store. I probably use between 2-4 bags every trip to the supermarket.

More than Im comfortable to admit to :( Its the one thing Im picky about with my produce being free rolling in the cart thats had who knows what in it.

I’d say 2 to 4 ! but with these none!!! the would be great to use and then would just have to add them to my cloth ones to take with me :)

Maybe 8-10! We have a Sprouts by us with great produce!

I tend to use three or four, but that might be because I’m not eating as many vegetables as I should and that I am just often too lazy to use a bag when I can put an item in the basket and wash it later.

On average per week I would say I use about 2 plastic produce bags at most per week.

I pack my husbands boiled eggs for breakfast everyday, then his lunch (even though he reuses his bags) and then leftovers……I’d say between 10-15 bags a week. I need to make a change.

Thanks for the tip on the produce bags, great idea!

These are awesome! If I don’t win, I’m going to buy some. We don’t use many of those plastic produce bags, because we get our produce delivered by a farmer, but then I use ziplocs to separate all our produce. These would totally replace our ziploc habit!

probably three to four

I use probably five of them a week… ouch! For some reason they had never even occurred to me as being unnecessary, thanks so much for the wake up call!

I stopped using them for the majority of my produce a few years ago…. I would imagine that I saved over 200 a year by not using any! The only time I still have pulled one of those plastic bags out is when I get something like green onions or cilantro that is still wet from being misted-

Probably use about 4-5 a week

I really try and not use the plastic produce bags, maybe one every 3 weeks.

I got some reusable bags a few years ago, but they are looking quite rough! On average I use at least 4 bags a week, but then I also don’t put some produce in a bag, to save a little :)

Rarely ever. The only time I use one is if I get something wet like lettuce, but I avoid them as much as possible. It would be nice to have these though, for the times I do need something.

Holy cow! I do buy a lot of produce at the store, and cringe when I have to take those thin plastic bags that are frankly good for nothing after that first use. Besides, we just have to stop using plastic. These bags look terrific, easy to carry and you can see through them! I once made some from leftover Tshirt parts, but hey, you can’t see what’s in them, and that just messes up the cashier.
We probably use 6 or 7 each week.

We use about 4 or 5 each week.

I use maybe one a week. I use produce bags already, but need a few more!

I don’t use any, unless it is something small and loose like Brussels sprouts or bulk greens. But I would love to be able to keep my veggies clean and safe with these bags! I’ve looked at them several times on Amazon and just haven’t pulled the trigger yet to buy them.

Ive used reusable grocery bags for several years. We eat a salad every day for lunch so I use lots of the plastic bags. I reuse them when I walk my dogs but ultimately they get tossed. I probably bring home 6-10 per average week. I combine veggies in one bag so as to use fewer. How can we make a recyclable dog poop bag??!!

I use about 4 to 5 per week. Would love to know if these could be used to store produce in the refrigerator.

These are very cool. Great way to cut down on plastic bags for your produce.

I’ve never seen this product before — cool! I buy a LOT of fruits and veggies weekly. I’d guess on average I use 5 – 6 per week. yikes….

I think I use a minimum of 4 plastic produce bags a week….eek! These would be AWESOME to pack with my grocery bags for my weekly shopping!

Probably 5-6 a week!

Unfortunately, between my boyfriend and I, we usually use up to 10 of those plastic bags per week. When i can, i try just not to bag my produce, but sometimes it gets hard when you’re buying items in bulk. I had never heard of this product before and would love to try them.

I use approximately 10 bags a week, but my grocery store now uses recycled produce bags. I recycle those bags along with any other plastic bags when I enter the store (bins provided). That is when I remember to take them along. They do tend to accumulate into rather humongous piles before that happens.

At least four or five everytime I shop. Mesh bags are a great idea!

I’d sy we use about 2-4 each week.

Honestly, I try to NOT put my produce in a bag before putting it in my shopping bag. I also shop alot at the local market and often put produce in brown paper bags that I try and re use.

I think 2 or 3 per week.

I think I use about 6…yikes!

Probably 5

I pick up store produce once or twice a week This is a fabulous idea. I would store them in the car along with my reusable shopping bags. I wash them all once a month — pretty easy and I LOVE not having to store plastic bags under my sink!!

I believe that I probably average 6-7 plastic bags a week. This type of bag would go along
way to reducing that and also looks to be one that would be easy for the checkout person to
deal with.

Unfortunately about 5 bags a week ;-( these bags would be lovely to have instead.

Honestly, probably about 3 a week, and I hate to, because I always save and reuse the normal grocery bags, but those little pastic ones are too thin and tear too easily. These are great!

I try to buy local at our farmers market and bring my own bags, but I would guess that I still use around 3 per week, which can really add up over the course of the year.

We easily use 5-8 a week…

I would LOVE these bags! I hate the plastic produce bags, I can never open them and they rip easy depending on what u put in them, I usually use about 4 -6 per week.

i think we average about 4 a week which is 4 too many!

Oh yikes…I’m guessing more than a dozen. I’m definitely not proud of that, why didn’t I think of getting bags like these before?! :)

I try to use only one or two for small peppers. I’d like to make that zero!

I would estimate about 4…I try to just not bag most things, but you can’t do that with mushrooms or other small items!

Probably an average of 3. These reusable ones are awesome!

I hate to admit I use about 5 a week!

Probably 5. Yikes!

Gah, maybe 3 or 4? I try to buy produce without the bags when I can, but these would be super handy!

I would guess we use about 4 per week.

I converted some old t-shirts into mesh bags last year and they have been working out great. Rarely do I end up forgetting to bring my bags with me, so I would say, maybe 1 every two months? If I was able to add these to the collection, I should always have some in my trunk ready to go!

I would love these! Honestly, I could probably use 5 or 6 a week but hopefully less in the future once I start my own herb garden.

Unfortunately I think I use more than I realize. We eat a great deal of produce. However, we reuse them for doggie clean up bags.

I would say three or four. I have been getting my produce without the bags when possible.

I use probably 4 a week. I never thought of something like this to take to the grocery store! How cool!

Id use all 5 each week! Ive stopped getting bags and just put them in my reuable grocery bags, but I like that these are smaller.

I use 4-5 per week. I would like to use less!

Probably 5 or 6. I use reusable grocery bags, and I feel pretty stupid pulling off the plastic produce bags, but if I brought a load of loose produce up to the checkout, I’m sure the checker would kill me! LOL. Thanks for the giveaway! These are pretty cool.

What a great idea! I use 3-4 produce bags a week. Whenever possible I avoid them, but there are just some things like grapes and beans that need to be put into a bag.

We probably use 4 or 5 every week. These bags would help fix that problem pretty quickly!

I probably use about 3 a week, but I do try and reuse them.

I don’t use many – 2-4 per week (which isn’t awful but is far from great). Often I just won’t put the produce in the bag (especially if I’m only getting one or 2 of a specific item).

I use way too many produce bags per week, easily 8 or 9…which feels silly when I’m stuffing them into my reusable grocery bags! If I’m only buying one or 2 items of produce, then I skip the bag, but I have 3 little boys, so I usually don’t just buy one or 2 of something :-)

We pack our kid’s lunches every day…. that equals LOTS of sandwich bags and baggies galore. I think we’d probably use like 6 a week. :)

Oooh Annie I use too many, I never considered the plastic being used with the produce bags!!! EEEk!! I was probably using 6-7/week, but I am definitely cutting that down!!

We usually use 3 per week.

I probably use 3 to 5 a week, but am trying to cut down. I do resuse them, however.

Oh! I buy so much produce and hate using the bags! I probably use at least 3-5 a week. This would be amazing.

What a great idea!! I’ve never seen this product before and would use them for my produce. So much better for my veggies than the plastic ones at the store.

The majority of our grocery items are fresh produce. I would guess almost 10..eeek. In the summer though we do use reusable bags/boxes since we only go to the farms.

I use about 3 bags a week for things that get caught in the store water sprays. :) Try to avoid them for bananas, avocadoes, etc.

I’m really bad. I would say around 6 or so. And those ones I don’t reuse. They usually tear so easily that I just toss them and leave my produce by itself in the drawer when I get home.

Oh my, I shudder to count. I’d say about 5 for our little family of 2. Great that we eat a good bit of produce…but the wastefulness! I need these reusable bags!

I use about 2-4 a week. Typically I won’t put some produce in the bags unless there are multiple pieces (green beans, tomatoes, etc.)

I average about 3. I drive the cashiers crazy by putting more than one type of produce in a single bag and I put things like onions in the cart without a produce bag.

Wow, I probably use about 5-6. Never really thought about that! Like others have said, I do try to not use bags when I’m buying one item, like bananas, pineapple, etc.

I probably use 3 per week, but getting better when I buy farmers market veggies!

We try not to use those plastic bags at all & just let our produce roll & flop around in the shopping cart. Sometimes it’s necessary for things like delicate lettuces, bloody meat, etc. I’d say we use about 4 plastic bags at the very most a week.

2-3 a week at least. I do recycle them , but I love the idea if these bags!

Probably 3-4 when I shop but that is once or twice a month at a grocery store. I usually go to a local market and they don’t have plastic bags!

It depends on who is doing the shopping – if it’s me, I only use a few. My husband, however, likes to bag EVERYTHING. So the answer for him is – too many!

These look amazing! I would love to try them. I don’t typically use the produce bags at the store unless something is wet, so I would say I only use 1-2 per week,but that is still too many!

I use about 3 per week. With the flip and tumble bags, I would use them more often instead of having to deciding on which produce is a must to put in a bag.

probably 1-3 a week. I try to not use produce bags, and buy fewer items more frequently. And I reuse them as often as I can.

I use about 5-6 just to make easy during checkout. It all started when I moved to US. Back in India I never used the plastic bags to buy my produce. Thanks for this giveaway.

I try not to use them at all, but there’s always two or three. I always bring my reusables, but I think the cashiers at the stores get annoyed at all the loose fruit I buy. Ha! Unfortunately, wet veggies are another story. Thanks for posting these bags; I’d never heard of them, but now they’re on my must-have list!

what a great idea! I use approx 2-4 a week..

This is awesome! I don’t think I’ve seen these before.
I try to go without the plastic bags when I can, but I still probably use 2-5 on average each week.

probably 6, but I do reuse or recycle them as trash can liners, doggy diamond pick-up bags, trash bag for the van,

I’m guessing that I use around 4 – 5 of those thin plastic bags. This is the first time I’ve seen these – great idea!

I avoid the plastic bags like the plague. Though sometimes I do need one for loose potatoes, green beans or peas. I’ve always thought about getting theses. It would save me 1-2 plastic bags a week. The rest of my produce is always loose which does not amuse the cashier.

I probably use about 5 a week. Love this idea!

About 5-7 each grocery trip – so maybe around 15/month??

I would say between 3-5 a week.

Oh man, I do re-use those, but probably 3-5 a week.

I try not to use those bags, but when buying lettuce, you have to get a bag. I use only 1-2 a week, but put most of my produce loose in my re-usable grocery bags. These are a great idea!

We probably use 4 to 5. Ugh!

I try to use as a little as possible but would say I use 3-4 a week.

weekly, I would say maybe 1 if that – I try to just not take them if I can? but I would love to use the reusable ones!! love the idea!

These bags are a great idea, I probably use 3-4 plastic produce bags a week. This would def help me cut back!

I use at least three produce bags a week.

Wow! I love this idea! I try not to use them but I still use at least 4 a week probably.

I was just talking about getting resuable produce bags to my hubby the other day. We hit the fruit market (local fruit and veggie store) every Saturday. On average, I use 10 plastic produce bags on each trip. That’s not counting the veggies I pick up mid week when we want to prep a new meal.

I have been wanting some of these for a while! I would estimate that we use 5-6 plastic produce bags per week.

Holy cow, I use about 8 per week! I don’t even want to think about how many that is per year (416! CRINGE!). I only use reuseable grocery bags, but it’s true…what’s the point if we are only filling them with plastic produce bags? I have started to think about this more lately…and you have brought me the solution! Thanks! :-D

Probably 4-5 a week.

I think I use around 5-7 bags.

We go through 8-10 a week. Luckily, our local grocery stores recycle them, but still…reusable ones would be divine!

I use several plastic produce bags a week, and they go right in the trash …. just like the plastic grocery bags that some of the grocery stores carry. Sometimes they don’t even ask, they just sack your stuff in them!

I use 3 – 5 a week, but try to reuse them or bring them back to the store for recycling. I don’t use them if I’m buying single produce items. Thanks for posting about ways to be green in the kitchen!

2-3/week

I’ve always wished I had something like this! I use about 3 a week and it always make me cringe when I grab one.

I would say at least 3 per week.

Unfortunately I use them a lot. Mostly because I want to protect my food from the conveyor belt I put my groceries on. If I would have to guess I usually use 3-4 every time I go to the grocery store. I would love to try these bags though.

We use 3-5 per week… I need to get some of these for sure!

4-5 a week, although I try to repurpose them to transport my sneakers to/from the gym!

I use about 3-4 a week, from the grocery store. But I try to reuse them for other things around the house.

I probably use *gasp* 6-8 depending on the menu! Yikes!

I use probably 5 a week – would love to try the reusable ones! Happy earth day!

We buy lots of fruits and veggies, so we probably average 6-8 each week.

We buy a lot of produce… I probably use 6 or 7 a week. These would be great to have!

I would say between 4 and 6. Happy Earth Day!

Safe to say that we go through about 8-12 bags a week! That’s a lot seeing as how we just moved from an area that was really hard to find good quality produce almost all year. Our new neighborhood looks like it has great Farmer’s Markets and we can’t wait for this year’s fruit and veggie bounty!! Happy Earth Day!

sadly about 8.

10 easily, though I do reuse them once they come in my house or recycle them.

I use entirely TOO many of the plastic bags. Having reusable ones instead would really help me to cut back.

I probably use about 10 per week

On average? Wow, that’s a hard number to come up with. Depending on the week it could be anywhere from 4 to 8.

I think I use about 3-4 plastic bags each week, but these are such a great idea!
