During that time, my grocery shopping trips got bigger. Whenever I go, I really go all week, maybe two, and that means storing lots of fresh produce. What this made me realize, though, is that I use a tonne of these plastic product bags. You know, those green roll bags that are impossible to open? Yes, these. Because I’ve been trying to be more aware of my impact today and because I’m always looking for stylish solutions that don’t involve a lot of plastic bags floating around my fridge, I couldn’t be more excited about Food52’s New launch of the Five Two brand: products.
These are reusable bags to be exact. The bags come in three different sizes and, mainly, in two different wefts. The first is a woven net, perfect for fruits such as apples or oranges. The second is a narrow mesh fabric bag, great for herbs and green leaves. The closed weft also has a hidden feature. If you spray them with a reusable spray bottle (which you definitely need), this will help keep your herbs and vegetables fresh longer in the refrigerator. The bags only come in gray, which is smart as it helps to hide any stains that may arise, and each one comes with a cord so you can ensure that your product is safe and protected. They can contain anything – be it rice, popcorn, nuts, as well as products, of course – the possibilities are endless. They can be machine washed and, best of all, Five Two also added its tare weight to the side of the bag, so you can easily see how much the product actually weighs in the bag.
Frankly, I couldn’t be more excited about these grants. Each set comes with 8, which may not be enough for all of your products in the store, but it will certainly help to limit the amount of plastic you are pulling out of the roll. Or you can take two sets and get rid of the plastic completely.
From things that are worth spending a little more on products you never realized you needed, The Case For reviews present compelling arguments for products that will update your life.
