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!

For sure the car for groceries, but honestly, I could think of uses in almost any room in our house!

I can think of many uses for the Cresbi Crates. 1. grocery shopping 2. Keep in my mini van because you never know when you might need something to put something in. I go garage sales and it would be great to put my finds in. I have you on as a RSS feed on MY Yahoo page. I am new to your site and I love it. I found you on Pinterest

These look awesome! I would use them for groceries or to help keep the car organized. We pull bins out to keep ongoing crafting projects from taking over the house, these would be great! I subscribed to rss.

i would use these for grocery shopping! I dont like getting a bunch of plastic bags, so i bring big reusable bags, but always end up rearranging everything because the cashiers dont stack them well. I hate smooshed groceries!! these look awesome!
i think they would also be good for road trips (snacks, toys ans things to entertain the kids…)

definately would use it for groceries in the trunk. i really share that pet peeve. i take all the time of organize groceries before their scanned and i certainly learn patience when that grouping by like-items are no longer such in the bags. I love the idea.

Wow – I would use those crates to take my groceries from the car to my apt on the second floor. Plus I always try to get the bagger to use as little bags as possible so this would be a great option.
