Mesh Produce Bags

Anybody seen them around here?
Amazon has them but I would rather buy local if possible.

Good grief they are expensive!!

Hahaha that's a mistake.

Thanks, WS! I did contact him. He doesn't sell to the stores but wanted to come over and sell directly. I let it go. Was hoping someone has seen them at the $ store or somewhere. Thanks!

I've never seen them in any stores around here but I haven't been to the dollar store in a long time. As soon as you buy them online, 4 different places will suddenly stock them.

Remember "paper or plastic"?  Where did all the paper bags go?

It's irritating that I will now have to buy bags to line the bathroom waste baskets.

SL has large paper bags but you have to ask for paper instead of plastic if you want one. I will use that in the bathroom. What is still a mystery to me is what to use for wet garbage to put out on the street.

There are biodegradable "plastic" garbage bags for sale in the U.S. I'm sure they'll find their way here soon.

All sizes.

Until a supposedly better garbage bag comes here,
the Jumbo-70 garbage bags
at Ferrecentro Cuevas (the hardware store at Morelos 195, on the corner with Juarez in Chapala)
sells garbage bags which have a sticker stating

"Bolsas Ecoplasticos" ~ Fabrication de Polietieno.  
The sticker displays an ecology logo.  This is all I know.

I just reuse my produce bags over and over.  Also, use them for fridge storage items.

Lining bathroom wastebaskets? Dunno.
We've lived here 9 years now & I mostly lurk this board, so it's probably time to post w/ consistent handle.

Thanks annette, I will check out those bags!

Walmart could also use ecologically friendly bags as well and then I could reuse those instead of buying them but no, they sell the bags people carry and they lose the expense of plastic bags.

And available on Amazon Mexico...

BTW, I didn't do anything to the Amazon Mexico site but when I went looking for these this morning, it has now linked into the U.S. Amazon site. Now, if they could transfer my wish list and tell me if the products are available on Amazon Mexico, I would be in seventh heaven.
