Replace Plastic Baggies with Reusies #win

July 11, 2010 By Erin Tales

I never used as many little plastic baggies as I have now as a mom. I use plastic baggies to hold things I don’t want to get wet in theme parks, snacks, little games and toys I want to keep organized. And when they have been “used”, I throw them out. I am just adding to pollution and the landfill. Coming from a mom who uses cloth to clean … and cloth diapered her son … plastic baggies are bad for my image!

So I am in love with the newest trend, reusable baggies. Pretty much, you can use them just the same way you would use regular plastic baggies – although I wouldn’t push the “keep dry” angle since they don’t seal air tight. You can get these reusable baggies from companies like Reusies, which sells Sandwich and Snack Size Baggies. ReUsies are 100% cotton lined with a leak-resistant nylon and are secured with Velcro® closures. They are easy to open, yet hard for food to fall out of!

Snack Size

Sandwich Size baggies are 7.5″ x 6″, big enough for a sandwich you take to lunch. Snack Size baggies are 6 x 5″ and perfect for crackers and pretzels. The outside of the material is soft and cotton, the inside is the leak resistant nylon. The baggies can be machine washed, dishwasher washed or washed by hand. Right now I either wash by hand or throw them in the washer when I am doing a load of clothes.

The patterns they have are fabulous. If you have pirate-loving boys you want to check out “Arrgh Sandwich” – it’s too cute and I have it in snack and sandwich size. But there are plenty of options that mom and kids wouldn’t mind bringing to lunch at school or work!

ReUsies are an awesome alternative to plastic sandwich and snack bags. ReUsies will save you money and help eliminate the estimated 500 billion to 1 trillion plastic bags that are used and discarded worldwide each year. So let’s work together to make lunch boxes waste-free. Save your money and the environment with Reusies.com.

Sandwich Size Reusies are $8.75 each. Snack Size Reusies are $6.95 each.
