UPDATE: This giveaway in now closed.

Congrats to:

Kerrie — {Wilson.kerrie@…}

The school year is almost here for Dave (I know there are many schools who have already started) and one thing Dave and I don’t exactly love doing is packing lunches every single day.

However, this year, I’m a little more excited to pack lunches because (thanks to a fun giveaway I did last spring) we have an assortment of reusable AgainBags that we’ll be using in place of hundreds of plastic storage bags.

If you’d like to cut back on your consumption of plastic sandwich and snack bags {and have something FUN for packing lunches this year}, I have the perfect product for you!

AgainBags! 

AgainBags.com is a company that specializes in hand-made, reusable lunch and snack bags that are lead-free, phthalate-free, BPA-free, AND they come in fabulous colors and patterns…

They also have a brand new Active Wrap set that is absolutely perfect for lunches because the sandwich bag/wrap actually folds out into a “place mat” which I imagine would be nice for sticky, “germy” desks at school or at the office!

These bags are fantastic for sandwiches, wraps, fruits, veggies, cookies, bars, chips, pretzels, crackers, and pretty much any other food you want to carry with you.

I know I’m excited to use the AgainBags this year… and even more excited that they are offering two gift certificates as this weekend’s giveaway!

    Go tos: frozen pb&j sandwiches and frozen yogurt for my son. Also pretzels, we stock up during Meijer’s frequent 11 for $10 sales. 🙂

    I’ve really changed up my kids lunches this year & here is what I have done or will be doing:

    * Burritos (leftover rice, chicken, & cheese) or bean & cheese

    * Chicken Salad w/ Crackers

    * Bagel w/ peanut butter or cream cheese

    * Grilled Cheese or Bacon Grilled Cheese

    * Chicken Nuggets ( All white meat & bought on sale with coupons or homemade)

    * Lunchmeat Sandwich or Wrap ( Only when lunchmeat is on sale or have coupons)

    *Pizza ( leftovers cut in bite-size pieces without the crust)

    * Peanut Butter & Honey or Jelly

    * Hotdog Quesadillas ( sliced hotdogs & cheese between two flour tortilas. Microwave for 30-45 seconds & cut into triangles) w/ketchup in seperate container to dip them in

    & More. I also round these meals out with fresh fruit or natural applesauce pouches (bought on sale) veggie sticks or veggie chips, & bottled water. That way they have a balance of what they enjoy & what is also good for them.

    I would love to win these pouches. I have three in school right now who I make lunches for every day! Thanks for the opportunity. Mrs.Clark

    PB&J and chewy granola bars are my kids favorites in lunch boxes. Goldfish are great to keep in the car for on the run snacks since they don’t get melt in the hot car in the summer.

  4. kim rutherford says

    My go to lunch staple is the sandwich.
    These Agian bags look really neat.

  5. Erynn says

    These bags seem like a great investment! My favorite go to snack I always keep in my diaper bag is Trader Joe’s mini peanut butter crackers – cheap and a good snack or a filling lunch if needed.

  6. Jen says

    My go-to lunch staple is granola bars! My kids love them. They also like it when I pack pretzel sticks, fruit snacks or goldfish crackers. Grape tomatoes are a big hit too! All of these little tiny items take up lots of plastic bags. I’d love to try the Againbags.

  8. Cindy Perez says

    I’ve been taking sandwiches made with Sandwich Thins, hummus and veggies, yogurt, fruit. These bags sound very cool.

  10. Rebecca L says

    My husband’s go-to lunch food would be Trader Joe’s honey wheat pretzel sticks and a jar of peanut butter. He leaves the jar at his desk and just brings in a portion of pretzels sticks each day. He’s a bit of a PB-aholic 🙂 We try to cut down on plastic bag use by putting similar items together – all fruits and veggies go in the same bag, all nuts, crackers, pretzels, etc go in the same bag, and I use a reusable container for the sandwich so it doesn’t get squished. I would love a chance to win these reusable bags though and cut down plastic use even more!

  12. Derondah says

    I already like you on Facebook!

    Go to lunch staples–turkey or roast beef slices on a lite english muffin with the skinny cow cheese wedges, pretzels, pita chips & hummus, raw veggies to munch on, fresh fruit. Sometimes the tried and true PB & J sandwich!

  13. Katy says

    I don’t have to pack lunches, because at my daughter’s school everyone eats the school lunch…it’s delish! However, I do have two little ones and these bags would be great for keeping snacks in the diaper bag.

  15. Ayisha says

    For the kiddos, my go to’s are always typical lunch options, but I have been switching things up with sandwich wraps instead of a bread sandwich. These again bags would be great!

  20. Ashley says

    I love an apple and peanut butter for a snack! I know they would taste better if I brought them in these cute bags!

  22. Mel says

    What a great giveaway! I don’t even have a kids, but I would so use this in my own lunches (or my husbands!)

    My lunch time staple is fresh fruit and something salty. No matter what the main part of my lunch is, I always need some fruit and little salt to round out the meal!

    Thanks!

  23. Rebecca K says

    I just liked you on FB! Thanks for all of your tips and articles – I love reading your blog 🙂

  24. Rebecca K says

    My go-to lunch staples for work are peanut butter sandwiches and oranges. Easy to make/pack and easy to store with no refrigeration!

  28. Allison S says

    I just liked your page on Facebook. I recently discovered your site through Money Saving Mom and LOVE it! One of the first things I do in the morning is check and see what the post of the day is. My family is in some major need of organizational help!

  29. Allisn S says

    These bags are so neat. I cannot tell you how many plastic bags I waste daily packing my daughters lunch. These would save so much money!!

  30. Sandy M says

    These are very cute and useful bags that I appreciate the chance to win. I am new to SOL site which has help me transform and learn tips and trick to make my life a Simple Organized Life.
    These bags would sure cut the cost of so many bags I use for both my and my husbands packed lunch. Thanks again for the oportunity and Please Keep Up The Great Job you are doing!

  31. Brittany says

    I usually bring leftovers for work, because I have access to a microwave. My husband however takes a sandwich nearly everyday.

  32. Laura says

    My go-to lunch is a turkey sandwich and baby carrots–I eat it every day! Reusable bags is a brilliant idea!

  33. Heather M says

    I make fruit salad every Sunday and separate it out for the week. I also like snacking on healthy cereal, oatmeal and baby carrots.

  34. Carrie Davis says

    Our must have for my daughter’s lunches or snacks is raw veggies – she LOVES green peppers, raw onions, raw green beans, etc.!

  37. Karena says

    I make jello up on Sunday after we get home from church. I line the counter with my reusable cups and fill it up with Jello. Easy to just grab them from the fridge and pop in my lunch bag. I also get a weeks’ worth of pretzel flats all ready to go and then grab one when packing my lunch. The little time it takes to do this saves me a bunch of time each day preparing my lunch.
    Very cute reusable bags!!

  39. Laura Thompson says

    My boys sometimes get sick of sandwiches for lunch, so I will change it up and pack pasta instead. I will usually make a big batch at the beginning of the week and then pack indiviual amounts each day with the topping they like (marinara, butter, cheese, etc.). There is microwave in the school cafeteria so they can heat it up. I love the reusable bags for all of our lunches. I use them almost everyday and could use some new ones :).

  40. Nanete says

    Thanks for a chance to win. I would love to try these bags to cut down on plastic bags.
