REUSABLE SHOPPING PRODUCTS

Canvas Bags - These are so sturdy and work great for carrying every type of grocery item. Because they are so strong it means less trips. Any canvas bags will suffice.

Colony Co. - A wonderful resource for produce bags and durable canvas grocery style and lunch bags.

Mesh Produce Bags - These are awesome for fruits and each time we are shopping with them someone asks us where we got them. Never leave home without them!

Muslin Produce Bags - These produce bags are good for veggies and bulk. Because we buy in bulk and are a family of four, I find the X-Large are the most appropriate size.
