    Default Do you wash and reuse baggies?

    I started again. It doesn't seem to be as much trouble as it was when I gave it up last time. I've been washing and reusing foil as well. How do you wash your baggies? Do you use anything special to wash or dry them?

    I wash and re-use the green bags we buy which keep your vegetables fresher for longer!

    I don't buy or use baggies persay. I do however wash and reuse other bags that stuff comes in... cereal, cheese, bread, etc.

    I used to. But I barely use them anymore and when I do, it's usually for frozen foods and I usually end up tearing the bag.

    I also save my bread bags for my home made bread

    I've had food poisoning before (semonela (sp)) and really don't trust re-using them.

    I don't wash and re-use mine. We barely use aluminum foil due to the ill-efefcts it can have on your health so, no, I don't wash and re-use it either.

    I have many times, not if they have had meat stored in them.
    I do almost always reuse the wax bag that breakfast cereal comes in, they are great for freezing meats and I never have freezer burn. I also reuse some of the foil bags that snacks come in, they too are great for freezing.

    I do as long as it's not meat being stored in them or spaghetti sauce.
