Update: This giveaway is now closed.
Congrats to Steph (sjhills_05@…)
Look for an email from me soon!
Even though the school year is over, there will still be plenty of opportunities to pack picnic lunches, snacks for an afternoon away from home, and sack lunches for anyone who works year round.
And I don’t know about you, but even in the summer months, we go through our fair share of plastic lunch/snack bags. Since we always pack sack lunches, there are many days when we will each use 3 or 4 plastic baggies… and then throw them away when we’re finished eating.
Not only are those bags an added expense on our grocery budget, they aren’t great for the landfills either.
So I was thrilled when I came across AgainBags — a company that specializes in hand-made (in the USA) reusable lunch and snack bags. But not just any reusable lunch/snack bags… the AgainBags come in a variety of styles and sizes, they are dishwasher and washing machine safe, they are lead-free, phthalate-free, BPA-free, AND they come in fabulous colors and patterns {see below}!
I’m still not sure why I never thought of using reusable sandwich and snack bags — especially since I’ve used reusable lunch bags and water bottles for many years.
First time for everything I suppose 🙂
I’m excited to start using the AgainBags… and even more excited that Jenn {the owner} is offering a fabulous giveaway package this weekend only!
As you can see from the photos, 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 try to keep some sort of fruit and nuts on hand for snack.
Melissa says
My husband and I pack our lunches for work every day so I try to vary the snacks so we don’t grow tired of any one food. Some of the snacks we rotate through are sunflower seeds, carrots, dried plums, raisins, cashews, pretzels, grapes, and crackers. Like many families we too use a lot of plastic zipper bags when we pack our lunches. I think reusable bags are a fantastic idea and I know they’d see a lot of action in our home.

One snack I always have in my bag – gluten free pretzels!
Leanne says
My husband and I started “eating clean” about 2 months ago. This life style change means we eat 5-6 times a day, which means I use a whole lot of plastic bags of all sizes EVERYDAY! I have organic grapes, carrots, or snap peas with me at all times! I pre-make all of our meals, which are placed in plastic bags. We only have room in our refrigerator/freezer for so many tupperware containers.
I would love to like you and again bags on Facebook or Twitter, but we are kind of old fashion and do not have those accounts. But I do LOVE your website. The fact that you are a volleyball player and from West Michigan makes you that much better.

I always keep grapes, assorted crackers, cherrios, and dried fruit on hand for my 21-month-old. These would be very handy for traveling or when I run errands with my son. I love that they are reusable and dishwasher safe. I hate the thought of putting all the baggies in the landfills.
