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!

Alisha says
Watched 5 videos and showed the whole family! These are cool. No more plastic bags. I think these sturdy market totes are a good solution.
kathy says
I would use them for groceries.
Tara says
I try to shop locally and organically for produce, so the farmer’s market is my main grocery store during growing season. We eat stacks of garden fresh produce, but I hate that I bring home tons of boxes and crates from berries/cherries and other fruits. I do my best to return them each week to reuse them, but that means I have to store them until my next trip back. I think I would just use these crates and leave the boxes right there at the market.
Linda says
These look very cool! I would use them to organize my scrapbooking supplies and out in the garage for the pool supplies. They look like they could be used anywhere.
Dawn says

Beyond the grocery shopping idea – which I would definitely use it for – I would use it to organize my yarn for carry-around projects. Keeping the pattern, hooks, stitch minder, yarn, etc. all in one place!!
Julie says
I would definitely use these for at the very least grocery shopping. I hate it when my fruit and veggies get jumbled together. When that happens it usually means there are bruised fruits and we all know that kids don’t eat bruised fruit!! Plus then my groceries won’t fall out of the back of my truck when I open the door.

Kristi says
I don’t have a sewing room, so I think they would be great to organize my sewing supplies. That way when I want to sew, my supplies will be easy to transport to my dinning room where I have a makeshift sewing area.
