What is ONE part of your weekly grind that uses the MOST plastic?
Have you thought about what part of your daily or weekly routine uses up the most plastic? Can you pinpoint where your biggest waste comes from?
When we started Honeydew Goods we wanted to kick off with a product that would have a MAJOR impact on our single use plastic consumption without causing us to change too many habits. Because, well….#toomanykids and life and work and short term memories.
So we decided we’d take a month to see what we really saw coming into our house that was just useless plastic we couldn't really reuse. Over the course of a couple weeks we realized our biggest PLASTIC waste was from the grocery store!
OK. Ok. Maybe this isn’t super revolutionary to you. We’ve all got A THOUSAND reusable tote bags….you have one from Breast Cancer Awareness foundations, from your dentist, from Trader Joes and Aldi.
But what about the SMALL bags? The ones you put your 10 avocados in. You get 10 avocados a week right? Cuz we sure do. Ok, what about your apples and peppers and lemons and limes? We saw our pile of useless flimsy bags grow and grow over the course of a few weeks that we began to research what options we had.

There are tons of options for nylon bags, hardy plastic bags, farmers jute bags. But we decided we wanted something that would leave NO footprint when the time came to dispose of it.
Enter these Organic RAW Cotton Produce Bags with a beautiful wooden toggle. These bags were an instant hit for us for so many reasons:
- Their 100% Organic Cotton so they are breathable and stretch easily.
- They are double stitched so they can handle serious weight
- They have tags that reflect the weight of the bag, also known as the Tare Weight.
Throwing these in our reusable big bags has been a game changer for our shopping experience. To be able to just grab one instead of pull off the flimsy plastic ones at the store off their super tight rollers is so cathartic.
No more licking your fingers and pressing them back and forth with those things to try and finally get them open. No more grabbing 10 avocados and letting them roll all over the place in the cart getting just totally coated in germs.
Plus, with having a few littles always around, it has made shopping enjoyable for them too. They love the responsibility of adding produce to them and pushing the wooden toggle tight.
Your grocery cart never looked so good and your produce will thank you for the added protection!
