I find I am now able to buy all my loose greengroceries using “the Friend” cover (and other similar covers) as bags. What has surprised me is how resistant they are. I expected perhaps one or two uses, but they just go on and on. They are very tough and thank goodness I have been able to reduce all the wasteful plastic and carboard surrounding so many pre-packed items.
