Wet foods, never. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-re-use-ziploc-bags#post-420257 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 19:48:28 +0000 Arden 420257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I always reuse them. Unless they held raw meat or something like that, they are easy enough to wash well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-re-use-ziploc-bags#post-420256 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 19:48:16 +0000 lavender 420256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes- dry snacks also. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-re-use-ziploc-bags#post-420166 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 18:43:05 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 420166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't use them that often. I throw them out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-re-use-ziploc-bags#post-420079 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 17:23:44 +0000 Maysprout 420079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We wash and reuse. Sometimes if we have a lot to do I'll toss the ones that need washing but I always feel really bad then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-re-use-ziploc-bags#post-420075 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 17:20:24 +0000 birdofafeather 420075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>not really, but we dont' use ziplocs very often. we have other reusable containers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-re-use-ziploc-bags#post-420068 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 17:16:28 +0000 BoogieBea 420068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We try to. I feel like it's wasteful otherwise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-re-use-ziploc-bags#post-420008 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 16:47:02 +0000 autumnlove 420008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just started reusing bags for dry snacks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-re-use-ziploc-bags#post-420003 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 16:44:52 +0000 Sweet T 420003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I reuse the ones I use for DS's snacks, usually graham crackers. I never reuse them if they had meat or liquids in them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-re-use-ziploc-bags#post-419972 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 16:33:42 +0000 anonysquire 419972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would never even think to reuse them. But I am not a recycler. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-re-use-ziploc-bags#post-419963 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 16:31:52 +0000 Meridian 419963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, unless they've held meat or anything liquidy! Often times we'll store cookies or bread items, and I don't mind washing and re-using those. But only the sturdier freezer bags, not sandwich bags! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-re-use-ziploc-bags#post-419957 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 16:30:19 +0000 MrsBrewer 419957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always! Unless there is meat in the bags (cooked or raw) I normally always buy the heavy duty freezer bags though so they are really study and I will keep washing and reusing them until there is a hole or something in them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-re-use-ziploc-bags#post-419953 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 16:28:46 +0000 DigAPony 419953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I re-use them for dry food items. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-re-use-ziploc-bags#post-419936 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 16:22:38 +0000 Alivoo01 419936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends on what was in them initially, but I try to because i feel like they're a waste if it's one time use! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-re-use-ziploc-bags#post-419800 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 15:50:52 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 419800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mostly yes, but I try to only use them for dry snacks for that purpose. I feel bad throwing plastic away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-re-use-ziploc-bags#post-419795 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 15:49:22 +0000 Turd Ferguson 419795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tororojo: Same. If it's something dry/snacky I'll reuse 'em, but for anything produce-y/liquid-y, I'll toss 'em. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-re-use-ziploc-bags#post-419793 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 15:47:40 +0000 tororojo 419793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes I re-use ziplocks that I put snacks in--like popcorn, candy, etc. I feel like I'm saving the earth if I can get a few uses out of them, although usually I try to use bowls w/lids for that stuff instead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-re-use-ziploc-bags#post-419786 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 15:45:33 +0000 mrbee 419786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We reuse them if they've only been used to hold non food items, like blocks or legos or puzzle pieces.</p> <p>If they've been used to hold food (or frozen soup) though, we'll throw those out. I feel bad though - feels like such a waste!!</p> <p>Do you re-use Ziploc bags? </p>
