Reusable sandwich/snack bags?

[wendibird22]

Anyone use reusable sandwich and snack bags and have a brand to recommend?

I saw Lunchskins at my Wegmans the other day and was intrigued. And I see that Itsy Ritzy score high on Amazon for having a zipper instead of velcro.

We mostly use Sistema containers but sometimes need a baggie instead and I thought I'd try to switch away from disposable ziplocks.

We have some Lunchskins and they're ok, but not great. Because they don't close tightly, they will do nothing at all to keep food fresh. That's not usually a problem for lunches, but if you want to carry snacks around in them, anything crunchy will go stale within a day. Washing them in the dishwasher is also difficult because bits of food get stuck in the velcro closures. I have some Reusies that have similar problems, but I like them better because their velcro strips are long and you can roll up any excess bag to get a tighter seal. (they're also on Plum District right now).

I love my Itzy Ritzy bags. They're lined so you can put wet items in them and they zipper closed so snacks don't go stale as quickly. They're the bags I always reach for first.

I like Snack Taxis. They have help up really well after multiple washings. An etsy seller was recommended here: astitchofmine. She has velcro topped bags that are awesome and have held up to tons of washing as well.

I have some Lunchskins (http://www.lunchskins.com/) as well as Snack Taxis and prefer the Snack Taxis (http://www.snacktaxi.com/sandwich-sacks.html)because they fold over when you close them so it helps keep air out, crumbs in, etc.

Itzy Ritzy! Melaine posted a code in the Bargains forum the other day for 50% off, but it may have expired already.

Thanks all. Looks like Itzy Ritzy is the favorite. The code expired, bummer, but now I'll keep my eye out for some deals.

Those look like they are made by Itzy Ritzy.

Off to look for coupon codes!

I'll add another vote for Itzy Ritzy. I have a couple that I bought for my twins. They have been using them consistently for over a year and have held up super well. They are a pink and green and even with regular washing, the fabric has no stains and isn't faded. I love that you can just flip them inside out and give a quick rinse if they aren't that dirty.
