    Theres no reason to put most produce in bags. I don’t know why people are obsessed with plastic. People even put bananas in bags… Theyre already bagged!

        You realize you’re supposed to wash your produce when you get home, right? There’s still pesticides on there.

          I do, it’s just a psychological thing I guess, I’ve started taking my own reusable bag to the grocery store these days to cut down on plastic though

    I’d proudly and, like a snob, tell you that I’ve ascended beyond plastic bags by using reusable nets.

    But I also keep forgetting the nets at home, so I use the plastic bags and promise myself not to forget. Only to forget again. FUCK.

    Dont lick your finger, the veggies get sprayed with water. Wet your finger with the clean water and the bag will open for you. Just like everything else in this life: Its better when its wetter.

    The plastic bag is folded on the sides. I have much more success if I start by pulling there, than attacking the opening directly. Hard to explain but you’ll figure it out.

      I just find the non sealed end and make the pspspspsp (cat call) finger motion and it opens up well enough when I have to use the bags

        That requires friction between fingers and bag to be higher than friction between the two sides of the plastic bag, and for me it never is
