I have all kinds of recycled bags and use them all the time. I didn't have a produce bag and found these on Amazon. I wasn't too sure of what I'd be getting and was in for pleasant surprise. The mesh is stronger than it looks and can stretch. I bought a bunch of bananas and the grocery clerk put them in the mesh bag and pulled the draw string. There was room for much more! These are so good to have around for produce. Make sure this is the size for your needs. I wouldn't be without them ever I'm a picky consumer and take my time looking for exactly what I need. After looking around on Amazon for some time I bought them. Glad I did. You'll be glad you did too.Great for keeping vegetables longer in the frig...So far this has been an excellent addition to my grocery shopping trips. I love that they are organic and have had multiple compliments on them.
