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!

    These crates would come in handy to organize stuff in the car.

  2. Kat says

    I would love to try these. I would use them for transporting all my dog supplies on trips and for CostCo trips.

  6. kristin says

    i would love to use them in the back of my truck to organize and one by the front door so my husband remembers to take stuff out to his car.

  8. Jennifer says

    LOVE these crates because of their sturdiness and indestructibility. Like your Nora did, I can see my toddler reappropriating them for himself to carry his vehicles all over the house. I would love to have these for stocking up on pantry supplies on my grocery trips. Also look great for big trips to the public library!! Thank you for this opportunity!

    Being that I am a single, working mom with a 2 year old son who just graduated college, they could and would help me tremendously. I could use them to organize my son’s car/travel/adventure toys and supplies in my small car. I could also use them to organize my financials. Also I could use them to organize drinks from the grocery store because I already have reusable bags for the other stuff and I pack and sit them so sturdy in the car that they never move. It is just the drinks…and fruit. LOL. But there are so many endless possibilities for the use of the crates.

  14. Deb says

    Those are sooo cool. I would put them in the trunk for organization when out and about……groceries, Goodwill, library books, all that stuff that needs corralling and organizing…….

  16. Brenda says

    I subscribe by email, but I usually juct check the blog before I get the email–can’t wait!

  17. Kristy says

    I would use them for the trunk of my car for groceries and also for organizing and carrying cleaning supplies when cleaning my house!

    Thanks for sharing!

  19. Brenda says

    I would do the same thing you do: use them to corrall everything in the back of the van! It would prevent broken bags on the way to the house too!

  21. Jessie says

    I am a teacher so I would most likely take them to my classroom where they would get used for sure!!!

  22. MJ Gerd says

    I will use these to organize my kids room. Legos and small parts to tall the toys!!! It will help me achieve my new years resolution

  24. Rachel says

    I’d use them for grocery shopping! I love organizing while at the grocery store check-out, too.

  28. Suzi says

    These are genius! I would use these for bringing food to family events, and for bringing home groceries!!!

  32. Kristin says

    Costco! These are perfect for trips to warehouse stores 🙂 I never buy enough at the regular grocery store to fill more than one reusable bag, but I can and will do some damage at a Costco or Sams.

  34. Carla says

    I would use these in my trunk to store all my field work gear! I have so many things flopping around, sometimes it takes me ages to find stuff.
    Hard hat
    Reflective vest
    Eye protection
    Range finder
    Binoculars
    Flagging tape
    Measuring tape (industrial style!)
    Batteries

    Safety footwear
    Rain gear
    Snacks
    Water bottles
    Clipboard and field forms
    Cell phone and car charger
    Laptop
    Car charger-converter gadget

    Not to mention the normal trunk items:
    Car jack
    Car tools
    Emergency kit with big blanket
    Bike rack/carrier
    Grocery shopping cloth bags
    Cat carriers for pet travel (to vet – ugh!)

    The list goes on! These are an amazing idea and EXACTLY what I should have!!!
    Thanks for sharing.

  36. Lissa says

    I would use them grocery shopping as they are eliminating plastic bags in my city

  38. rebecca says

    I would use them in the car to corral all the junk that somehow appears when you have five kids. I love the idea of packing them and then loading on the belt so your groceries are already sorted and ready to be put away when you get home.

  39. barbara says

    These are new to me. I am a frustrated organizer, never knowing what to do, how to do it, what to use to do it. I am looking forward to having some of these to organize everything. I particularly loved the photo of your trip to the grocery store. Love to organize my bathroom closets too.
