Replacing Ziploc

June 17, 2009

Plastic baggies seem to be a kitchen essential but there’s a downside – they are flimsy, not easily reusable and PLASTIC!   Genius moms have overcome this by designing reusable, food safe bags to replace your Ziploc addiction.  They are great for snack or lunch time holding chips, apples, sandwiches and more.

These bags are food safe, extremely durable, grease-proof and can even be thrown in the dishwasher.  Many patterns to choose from!  2 for $12.

 

il_430xn_69074212Rosy und Posy – My favorite finds are always on Etsy and this mother daughter duo has plastic free lunch bags, made with cotton and lined with 100% unbleached cotton muslin.  My favorite thing about Etsy is the customization possibilities so find your favorite fabric and customize an order.  $4 – $6 per bag.

I have to say that the fabric choices are really not to my liking but here they are
1. – the plain DIY kit
2. – The blue sharks
3. – The red apples

My favorite print is the Blue Shark! I would LOVE these – I use a ziploc bag for my lunch every single day, and these would be both eco-friendly and eco-nomical! :-D

I love the Blue Sharks print. (I also think the “White” design-your-own is awesome too!)

Thanks!
