Lots-o-produce bags!
We've had a bunch of thin fabric come through Green Bag Lady lately. I pile it up, take it home & wash it. When the pile gets big, I make a slew of produce bags out of it. I have been busy lately, 92 bags busy. We are going to take lots of them to the Farmers Market here and encourage people to use them instead of the plastic ones, but I have 30 earmarked for you!How about 10 sets of 3 for TEN of you? Sound grand? :)

PS, thank you for your lovely comments so far. To answer a question asked in the comments:
Q: Are the produce bags just for transport or can they be used in the frig?
A: They are for both, I keep my lettuce in them in the frig all the time. If I use them for this or for any wet produce, I wash them.

Oh what a great idea to go along with the tote shopping bags!
I would say the most common thing I purchase is bananas, even my little dog Mack, the Shih-tzu, gets a piece!
Thanks for this give-away and keep up the awesome work.

These are a great idea! It seems like I'm constantly going to the store just for produce since we go through it so quickly. We get bananas, mangos, avocados, tomatoes, spinach and berries most often. Thanks!

You've been busy! I think this is a great idea. That's the next step on my green ladder - produce bags! Thanks for the chance at your giveaway.
I love reusable bags and would love to have one to carry all the apples I am constantly buying for my little apple-lover even if I don't win, thanks!

We always have a little bit of everything. The favorites to buy are apples right now since it is time to make apple butter.
I would be so excited to get a bag!!!! You have a great idea (I have been thinking of making some bags myself...so question...how much fabric do you use per bag).

What I buy most often? The holy trinity: onions, carrots and celery. From: cherri1976 at hotmail dot com
I love my Green Bag Lady Bags!! and would love a set of Green Bag Lady Produce Bags!
I am a BIG buyer of bananas, apples, onions, tomatoes, and lettuce. They are almost always on my weekly shopping list.

We use your produce bags all the time, would love to have more!! We use them mostly for spring mix, herbs, and carrots at our farmers market, love them!!

I have and use one of your fabric totes, thank you. I'd love to win some produce bags, but at the risk of sounding foolish, are they for transport only of my celery, carrots, lettuce and onions, or do you leave the produce in them when they are stored in the fridge? I'd love to eliminate plastic produce bags.I wrap celery in foil. gbs88 at yahoo dot com
I LOVE my Green Bag Lady shopping bags. The addition of produce bags would be lovely. I think that the most often purchased produce here is bananas, potatoes, carrots, lettuce, onions, green peppers, cucumbers, and tomatoes.

Our most-purchased item is bananas, but i never use a bag for them - haha. Next in line is plums/pears/nectarines. It seems my younger child is at a stage where he will only eat fruit, so we go through a lot each week. aehaas (at)gmail dot com
I dont have one of your bags yet so i am crossing my fingers!! I share my produce with my pet rabbit so we go through a lot of cilantro, parsley, berries, chiles (for me!) avocado, eggplant and apples. :)

Bananas are the fruit we tend to purchase the most of..
Tomatoes are what product I buy at farmer's markets. Most times they are so much better than store bought. And since I no longer have a garden, then "tomatoes, here I come!" Thanks for the giveaway!

The produce item that is on the list every week is bananas. I have an organic garden and grow most of my vegetables and we have fruit trees. We live in Calif and so far no bananna trees around, lol.

Hi GreenLady! Sadly I lost my green bag lady 9169 today! I used it for my work, I carried thousand of papers, taxes also gum and chocolates! I was robbed this afternoon, and now it's with the thieves! I hope finally it get to someone better than that kind of people.
So, I would be glad to have a new bag with me again.
Wish you and your family the best!

We use reusable shopping bags all the time, but I never thought about produce bags too! What a great idea! The fruit I buy most often is bananas. I'm so glad they are available year-round. Going to slice one onto my Cheerios right now! LOL

Thanks!

I would love to win the produce bag and a free tote bag (I am a Newbie)! I would also love to learn how to make them myself. I would use them for my fruits (bananas and apples) and salad makings. Thank you so much for this opportunity to win! It is an awesome thing thing that you do for our world!

Oh, these would be great! I refuse to use plastic produce bags so I put all my stuff directly in the cart - which grosses me out thinking about what's on the cart!
We buy all kinds of produce as we are trying to eat more meatless meals. Beans, squash, peppers, bananas, apples...
