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!

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 my crates to keep my piles of paperwork organized by category.

  2. Jeanine says

    These would be great to use for picnics, corralling items in closets, grocery shopping, etc.

  5. Rebecca says

    I would use these in the back of our vehicle to keep things from sliding around.

  6. Mea says

    I would use these to help organize our many ingredients and staples on our many store trips 🙂

  11. Jennifer Madigan says

    I already subscribe and always look forward to the new posts daily.

  12. susan g says

    Love that these are collapsible and stackable – would be great for groceries, trip and general car organization.

  13. Jennifer Madigan says

    I would really be able to use these crates. We recently moved into a 3rd floor apartment and there are always times when I’m looking for a way to carry everything up the stairs. This would be awesome and we would be able to keep the containers contained.

  14. Tracy Y says

    They would come in so handy for carrying casserole dishes. I could use them for camping as well!!!

  16. Ruth says

    Thank you for sharing about the CRESBI. Really cool. I would use them for carrying things in the back of my van.! I will be so nice to keep things from sliding around.

  18. Teresa says

    I would use these for Groceries,toys,camping and so many other things.

  20. Rebecca says

    These look amazing! I would use them for groceries of course, but also to take packages to the post office or keep thrift store purchases in check, especially breakables. I want these NOW. Very cool idea.

  21. Bill says

    Great idea- they should hit up Krogers- Remke and Sam’s club to sell these.

  22. natalie says

    I would use CRESBI crates to organize all the books and groups in my classroom. As a classroom teacher I am always organizing, rearranging and adding things to my classroom to keep the rest of my twenty-six kids organized too!

  23. Cathy H says

    I already subscribe to your emails and love reading them everyday :)!

  24. Cathy H says

    I would love to use these when grocery shopping!! I usually go grocery shopping once a month and travel about 45 minutes away, these would be great to keep them organized and not have them rolling around in the back of the car!!

  27. Debra F says

    I have collapsible crates built into my car, but we have increasingly been taking the husbands car grocery shopping and of course it doesn’t have anything like that. And we miss having a way to keep everything from rolling around back there!

  29. Kellie R. says

    These would be so great to keep in the trunk for loading groceries after a trip to the warehouse store…still have to pick up dome boxes, thought, for my son to do ‘construction’ (more like de-construction!).

  31. tbb says

    I would use these CRESBI Crates in my suv. I hate that my tote bags won’t stay upright in the storage part of my suv.

  32. Barb says

    These have multiple uses and I like the fact that they fold down for storing.

  34. Natasha says

    I have been eyeing my SIL’s grocery bins from her store in Canada – these would be an awesome and even more portable option for hauling all the goods home from the store!

  35. Janice says

    These are awesome! They could be used for anything as they are so sturdy and collapsible (I like that they save on space when not in use-very practical and clever). We are in the process of packing for a move (we’re doing it ourselves), so my immediate need/use would be for the items that I need to be packed for more sturdiness, as sometimes in a move, things get banged around, resulting in breakage, because of the flexible nature of boxes.That’s my immediate need. After that the possibilities are limitless. Could be for packing apples when we go to the apple orchard, for organizing my garden tools or if they are the right size, buy hanging folders and use them for filing. It would be great if they could be stacked on top of one another.

  38. Peggy Fernandes says

    What a fab idea. I would love them for my groceries too. I always wind up with crushed chips or a broken egg. Also great to contain those “must haves” in the car.

  40. Beth says

    Groceries. We shop at Costco often and have to “bag it” myself anyway but these would speed that up!
