They are not the same, and probably more expensive, but I have been 
using mesh bags fro PolyNet.  polynetinc AT aol.com.  About $.04 each.  
There is another supplier "Pacon" or something like that.  I got no 
response from info AT paconmfg.com, as I recall.  This year, for the first 
time, I have been using the mesh bags for tomatoes, potatoes, peaches, 
peppers, and okra; I am well pleased.  At farmers markets, it 
eliminates the basket switching problem, allows consumers a good view 
of the product, and makes things go faster.
