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 love to use these as temporary storage for my daughter’s clothes between when she outgrowns them and when I donate them. I’d also use some in my car.

I would use these for groceries!
Kim says
I would love to use the crates for groceries, instead of the bags I already use. I like that they wouldn’t tip over, that they are reusable, and that they are great for organizing before you even get in the door. They would save effort too, in that they would allow me to makes less trips in back and forth to the house. Fun colors too!
Nancy says
These looks wonderful. Just what I need in my car.
Krista says

I would use them to organize my office and my car! I travel a lot for work as an x-ray tech and I always need to bring things with me and somehow they end up staying in my car!
Love your site.
Bridget says
Hi. These are great! I would definitely use them for groceries as well as packing our things for the upcoming softball & baseball seasons. These crates would be terrific to carry my kids gloves, hats and balls, sunscreen & bug spray, snacks, blankets, etc. I could keep it all organized in my truck and carry it to the field so easily!!! Thanks for introducing us to these!!!

I would use them both to tote groceries as well as temporary sorting spots (you know, like when going through papers to put them into trash, shred, file piles).
Amy says
Wow! I so need these! We just moved up to a compact SUV from a very small compact car. I love the space but at a loss as to use the back effectively. These would be fabulous and even the cooler would help as I like to do multi stores in one trip.
Jill says
I stumbled upon your blog a few weeks ago and just love it! I am intrigued by these crates and would love to win them! I have to say I am tired of all the shopping bags floating around my kitchen and vehicle and also don’t like it when things get jumbled together. Thanks for offering these to one lucky winner!
Courtney says
I would use these when I coupon.
Anne R says
I would use these when I shop at the wholesale club. I go once a month and have a trunk full of items. These would keep everything neat and tidy in the trunk of the car! Thanks for the opportunity to win these!

Groceries
Ann says
I would use them in the back of the van for groceries, and for recycling, and anytime I need to “tote” something. Collapsibles are so nice! Yay for this give away!!!
Megan says
I would use them to organize groceries and school supplies. Not at the same time of course 🙂
Mariah says
I would use them to keep groceries from rolling all over the place in my car.

I would use my Cresbi crate at the grocery store.
Diana says
I would definitely use these for grocery shopping. Even sorting items in the cart to keep them from rolling around would make shopping easier! Especially when you’re short and toting a one-year-old in your back carrier!
Nichole says
This is the first time I’ve heard of this product. This would be a definite help with grocery shopping!
Anne says
These would be perfect for books and papers in my car!

Trish says
With 4 kids, I’d use them in the back of my car and maybe even in the house!
Kristine says
Cool! I’ve seen these before but never thought of using them in the grocery store. I would probably use them to hold baby toys, dog toys, or keep them in the trunk of my car to hold groceries or car emergency stuff.
