MY REVIEW:

I am making an effort to be more green every day. Recently I noticed that I really do use a lot of plastic bags. I have been using them for bringing sandwiches or snacks to work and even putting my daily vitamins in them. Sometimes you can get away with getting another use out of them, but I admit I am very guilty of just tossing them after one use.

I received a two-pack of ReUsies for review. One sandwich size: Approx. 7.5″ x 6″ and one snack size: Approx. 6″ x 5″. The sandwich size can fit a large sandwich. The last time I bought bread it was extra large slices, so I was happy to see that it fit. The snack size is perfect for just the right amount of whatever snack you may choose. It may even help me with portion control! I do not need to be stuffing a large plastic bag with Cheetos, thank you.

There are so many fun patterns to choose from. Perfect if you have children. They can each have their own design so lunches do not get mixed up.

Anything that I can wash in the dishwasher, I am a complete fan. After the first time washing your ReUsies in the washing machine to prevent fabric bleeding, you can then toss them in the dishwasher. Just turn them inside out and wash them like you would any other fabric and they are ready to go for the next use.

Since I will not be sacrificing convenience by replacing plastic bags with ReUsies, I see myself using them often. I suggest you try them out, too!
