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!

  4. Holly F. says

    These would be great for the car, but I’m thinking they would be so fun in the playroom!

  7. Jasmin says

    i just found you recently on FB and love your site! i would use the crates for grocery shopping & organizing my sons stuff….scattered all over the house 🙂

  8. Kelly M says

    Me again, Andrea…I have subscribed via RSS for a while now….and enjoy your writing very much 🙂

  10. Brenda says

    I would use them not only for in my car but having different colored crates for family members and when something is left down stairs that needs to go up the crate can collect the stuff and when family members see their crate or anothers full they can kindly carry the crate(S) up stairs empty and return when they come back down.

  11. Melyssa Lee says

    I have a million ideas for these but organizing the back of my yukon is number 1! Thanks!

  12. rachel v. says

    with 5 boys there are several ways that we would use these! toys, winter stuff, groceries, school stuff….

  13. Kelly M says

    Love those CRESBI crates! I live an hour away from shopping opportunities….would love them for organizing my purchases since I buy such a variety and large amount of things when I do shop. Thanks!

  14. Mandy says

    Those would be great for the trunk of my car as well as in the entryway to sort out stuff.

  15. Jennifer Kruse says

    I would store them in the trunk, of our car, to put blankets, bottle water, etc. . .
    Thank you!

  16. Kathy Darnell says

    I would use them for my groceries as they always slide all over the trunk

  17. Ceili Yablonsky says

    I would use them to organize my work when I have to clean clients properties. Then they could collapse down until I needed them again.

  20. Katie Jones says

    I would use the CRESBI crates to help with organizing my mess of a house! I would organize my papers and then also use them to playfully separate my son’s different items of clothing and blankets or pretty soon, his toys!!! 🙂

  23. Cassie S says

    I just subscribed to your email list. I have always kept up with your stuff on Facebook but now I won’t miss anything you send out. Thanks for all of your wonderful information and inspirations!

  25. Tammy Skipper (@Tammy_Skipper) says

    Those are pretty cool! I’ve gotten rid of all my small ‘soft’ reusable bags in favor or heavier duty, canvas style totes to use them more like these crates but love the extra sturdiness these would offer (and still collapsable!). Honestly though, if I win, I’m pretty sure my husband would steal them for the garage 🙂

  28. Julie Hamilton says

    I would use them for groceries in the back of my husband’s pickup truck!

  29. Cassie S. says

    I would use these crates at ALDIs!!!! Oh my goodness I would LOVE these!

  31. Debbie Sanders says

    These would be great to help pack the car for our summer vaca to Disney! We are bringing the grandparents, brother-in-laws family, plus four teens! I need all the help I can get! lol!

    Love SOL read it everyday!

  32. Tari says

    OOOH, I’d love these, I have to tote youth group and office supplies, and the fold-ability of these crates would be perfect so I can just stash them in the back of the car. Brilliant!

  33. Amber says

    I would use the crates for toys and groceries, and I am sure many other things. I do some custom cakes and baking that they would work wonderful for also.

  35. Deb Wigley says

    Love these! I would use them to organize our trunk space of our van. 6 people and their stuff can sometimes get our of control!!

  37. Miranda says

    I wouldn’t have thought to bring them into the grocery store. I definitely need to get some of these!

  38. Sue says

    These look fantastic! Would use them at the grocery stores for sure, and also for my recycling cans and bottles to go to the store!

  40. julie says

    i would totally use them for groceries as I shop at Aldi and take my own bags
