I've been using cloth grocery bags for years. I received a pile of them when I worked for the company that markets the EcoLogo, back in the late 1990s. The looks I used to get from the cashiers.....
I've always tried not use plastic produce bags. I only use them if I am buying multiples of something (such as limes or lemons). A single item (like a broccoli or celery head) just gets put into my shopping cart as is. As part of my eco-challenge, I've been meaning to purchase some reusable produce bags, but haven't gotten around to it yet.
You can imagine my surprise when I opened a package sent to me in the mail this past week. My sister-in-law sent me an early birthday present - 4 reusable mesh produce bags. Made by credobags(http://www.credobags.com/) , mine are 100% organic cotton. They have washed up beautifully. I used them a couple of days ago for my groceries - and I love them! I don't know why I haven't bought them before this.
Next on my list - reusable bulk bags.
