We don't use clam shells but do re-use the pint and quart plastic
containers that food from the supermarket comes in. We reuse them until
they get cracked or don't come clean.
The local market stands/stores around here generally have their fruits
displayed in pint or quart containers. When you purchase, they dump the
items into a clean plastic bag and they keep the containers. I learned
from the, so that's how I do things at my farm, too. No one's complained.
