cresbi crates

I don’t know about you, but one of my biggest pet peeves is when my groceries get all jumbled together, smashed, or even ruined because the bagger doesn’t take his or her time to neatly bag them.

I always make it a point to thank and compliment any cashier and/or bagger who neatly organizes my groceries by type (boxes together, fruits and veggies together, meats separate from everything else, etc). I appreciate their extra attention to detail and I find that they can usually fit more items in a smaller amount of space if they do it neatly.

Maybe I’m just really weird though 🙂

Well, because of my somewhat obsessive grocery packing regimen, I’m just a little giddy to share today’s giveaway with all of you… the CRESBI Crates!

Ok, so if you’re wondering what in the world a “CRESBI Crate” is, let me explain…

CRESBI is actually an acronym that stands for Collapsable Reusable, Environmentally friendly, Stackable, Box, Idea. This video does a nice job of demonstrating how the crates can be used.

Not only is CRESBI one of our January sponsors, they are also offering a very generous giveaway of their grocery shopping crates!

I’ve been using their Colossal 6 Pack which provides more than enough room for my weekly groceries. I love the bright colors, I love how quickly and easily the crates fold down, and I love that none of my groceries get smashed or end up rolling around in the back of my car on the way home.

Nora actually uses the baby CRESBI Crate to carry toys and other objects around the house. It’s pretty cute!

Nora and the crates

Being an organizer, I immediately thought of 101 other uses for the CRESBI crates — like toys, craft supplies, packing for a quick trip, potlucks, and so much more.

I know I had never seen anything like the CRESBI crates before… so if you’re new to this concept too, you might want to check out a few more of their YouTube video clips to see these crates in action.

Oh, but make sure you come back and enter the giveaway!

    I would use them in my Jeep to keep my groceries and other shopping bags from falling over while driving.

  3. Beth B. says

    I love these! I have never seen these! I would use these shopping for many things, not just groceries!

  4. Eugenia says

    Would love to have those crates to take with me to Aldi’s. I do have some good bags, but the crates would have definite advantages – and then they could be used at home to store bathroom supplies!

  9. Deryl says

    These would be great for groceries and even general trunk organization.

  11. Courtney says

    These would be amazing because I too am a crazy grocery organizer who despises smashed groceries. It always amazes me that milk on top of bananas makes sense to some cashiers. I do a lot of grocery shopping with four kiddos so these would make my life a lot easier!

  16. Terry says

    Will used for groceries and storage around the house. They look awesome!

  19. Jamie says

    I’ve been able to manage getting nearly 3 weeks worth of meals out of my 1 massive grocery shopping trip – which means the back of my subaru is packed to the max with bags and boxes (all reusable) – these would be an awesome addition to my stash!

  21. Grace says

    I would mostly use them for groceries but I’m sure I could find plenty of other uses too!

  22. deb weaver says

    I’d use these crates to take products to the farmers market. At the end of the day, I can redistribute, break down empty crates and head for the hills!

  23. Cheryl says

    I am the same way with my groceries I like all my things in categories . So I would use this in the back of my card and then it would be easier to bring everything into house- no bags ripping!

  24. Jackie Bales says

    I would love them for my grocery shopping. Love your blog! Thanks!

  27. CG says

    These crates are such a neat idea! It’s quite practical for them to be collapsible- at least it won’t take up too much space.

    I’d use it mainly to organize my groceries and miscellaneous kid gear in my minivan.

    Maybe even one for trash collection?

  28. Roberta says

    I would use these crates for organizing my home sewing small business. They would be great for holding my patterns and misc fabric scraps as well as ribbons, notions, etc. Love that they fold down and would use for groceries as well. Great item!! Also love your blog and read daily- thanks!

  29. Debbie says

    What a great idea! I’d use them for carrying groceries in the car and also for holding the kids’ toys.

  31. Michelle O. says

    I would use a couple for keeping in my vehicle for groceries, and then the others I would use for toys in the play area. Thanks for the chance to win 🙂

  32. Nelly says

    I’d use them for groceries as well as many types of things for storage in the house. They would definitely be put to good use at my home. I follow your blog on facebook and e-mail.

  33. Tara says

    I would love to use these crates for groceries!! I use all recyclable bags where ever I shop. These would help organize my car also! Love them!!

  35. Shelly S. says

    I love the idea of using them to keep groceries from rolling around in the trunk!

  38. Ruth Stark says

    I would use them mainly organizing my shopping trips finds. Thanks for the ideas!
