<\/a>1.\u00a0<\/strong>Start with a large reusable bag,\u00a0<\/strong>big enough to hold all your impulse buys and tall things like bread or bunches of greens. 2.<\/strong> Instead of throwing your empty berry baskets and egg cartons<\/strong> into the recycling bin, ask vendors if they might use them to package their own goods(even if \u00a0they can’t, they’ll appreciate the gesture). 3.<\/strong> Some markets and vendors still only accept cash<\/strong> and you don’t want to miss out on the last bunch of kale due to an emergency ATM run. \u00a04.<\/strong> Sometimes you’ll find a nifty new fruit or veg, but have no idea what to do with it when you get home. Look up some recipes on a smartphone or tablet<\/strong> before adding the new produce to your shopping bag. 5.<\/strong>\u00a0Its hot out there! Bring a water bottle<\/strong> to keep hydrated! 6.\u00a0<\/strong>Keep your newly purchased goods from rolling around in your big shopping bag by containing each variety in its own reusable mesh produce bag.<\/strong> Alternatively you can reuse paper bags or those thin plastic produce bags you get in the grocery store.
