I must drive check out assistants barmy as I pretty much never use a plastic bag to put my fruit and veg in. I just can’t see the point of putting a head of broccoli or bunch of bananas  into a plastic bag. The only time I draw the line is if it’s pears which get bruised and dented so easily or if I have more than three of something!

I should probably invest less than a tenner in a set of one of these from Onya, tulle bags that are strong, see through and so lightweight that they won’t tip the scales ….

Onya Weigh Bag For Fruit And Vegetables

Other features include:

• Ideal for washing fruit and veg – these ingenious little bags are also designed so you can use them as a colander too
• Breathable storage prolongs life – most fruit ‘n’ veg types store better in a breathable net – not sitting in a plastic bag where they can sweat and bruise etc.
• Simply hang the bags on a hook in the pantry and again the produce will last much longer
• Just as useful in the Health Food shop for: nuts, grains, rice and lentils etc.
• Can even be used as a laundry bag for small and delicate items
• 5 mesh bags tuck into one little bag made from parachute material with karabiner hook.
