Seriously? Over $7 per box?
Did you know that these are less than $2 in the local stores?

I do the same thing with fruit bags. I always have a roll handy, which I pick up at any grocery store. Nobody minds selling me a roll. I use a bag tie to secure it.

They are also great for no mess salad mixing. Prepare all your salad ingredients in the bag, add dressing when you’re ready, seal and shake well. Perfectly dressed salad and no mess!

I use it when I want to marinate veggies before roasting/grilling. Dump all the cut up veggies drizzle olive oil and spices and put in fridge to marinate. No mess…
