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!

    Wow. Wow. Wow. I would definitely use them for groceries. Also for carrying loads of stuff to and from church. I could use them to deliver meals. I could use them when traveling so I could actually find that extra tub of wipes when I need it. Picnics. Taking water toys to the pool. I could leave them in the trunk!!!!!

  5. Carolyn says

    What a wonderful, eco-friendly idea for groceries. Much more tidy (and easier to clean) than reusable bags!

  6. Susan says

    These would be great for groceries and to take giveaways to the thrift store.

  7. Ruth M says

    I would mostly use them for groceries, but would also come in handy on road trips!

    Thanks for the opportunity to win!

  8. rachael says

    I would use them to do some serious schoolwork organizing! I already have a system for groceries, but that is still a great idea!

  14. Audra says

    Ohh this would be great for so many things … just started letter of week with my son and this would be great to sort stuff in … in the truck …. for things that need to be sorted to other rooms … mail as it is brought in the house ….

  15. Laurel says

    I already subscribe to your feed, like you on Facebook and everything else!

  16. Laurel says

    Very cool! I would use them for the what seems like endless moves our two college kids make. They would be great to pack up and move their stuff in.

  17. Jenna says

    I would use these for groceries! Also for taking my supplies to and from school!

  20. Kelly@The Simplified Family says

    I am a cheerleading coach and would love to have them to carry poms, water bottles, and other cheer essentials.

  21. Kristen says

    I’d use them for the groceries….brilliant! I share your pet peeve. 🙂

  23. Sue says

    I would love these for my groceries! I would also use them for long trips with the kids – they each get one – whatever fits in them they can bring in the car !!

  25. Lauren says

    I would totally <3 these CRESBI crates!!!! We live on the second floor and grocery shopping is my husband and I's most challenging task. We will load up our arms with the handles of the plastic shopping bags just so that we do not have to come back down for another load. Not to mention how all the groceries fall out of or THROUGH the flimsy shopping bags and end up rolling around the back of the car. I found a full glass spaghetti sauce jar under the stroller in the back once…we had gone shopping a week earlier…Ooops.

    Thank you for all that you share!

  26. Melanie says

    I think I’d use them in my car for all of the stuff that collects in the car. Easy to transfer right back into the house.

  27. Heather says

    These would be amazing for hauling groceries and just trunk organization!

  29. JD says

    I never knew such a product existed. We only grocery shop once a month and these would be perfect for the back of our SUV. Brilliant idea.

  30. Jen Perry says

    I almost got giddy when I saw this post. Collapsable crates? I have 2 kids involved in different sports. I always need to carry drinks and snacks in my momvan (not to mention sporting equipment, bleacher seats, blankets, warm-ups, etc) and these would be perfect for organizing that hot mess.

  33. Amy Martin says

    Looking at the different colors and having several (7) kids, four at home full time, these would be great to organize laundry for everyone. We’re limited to a small laundry closet in the home we rent so having them collapse they’d fit easily on the shelf where only one laundry basket sits!

  35. Cathleen says

    WOW! these are amazing! this is the first I have seen them.
    They would be so useful! I would use them for the groceries like you, but as a bookkeeper I also tote around a lot of paper work and files and these would be great! Color coded for each client!

    Very useful! Love ’em!

  37. Katherine says

    I would love those for groceries! I have been using reusable bags, but even if I line my stuff up on the conveyor belt in categories, some things still get squished.

  38. Tara says

    Wow…these are awesome. I love boxes & organizing. I would use them for groceries, or perhaps to keep my kids’ games organized.

  39. Heather says

    I would love to use them for groceries and probably many other things. I love that they are collapsible!

  40. Heidi says

    I would use the CRESBI bins for regular grocery shopping trips and for the farmers market. I might designate one bin for road trip items: sunscreen, snacks, water, a couple toys, etc.
