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’ve been trying to reduce the amount of plastic/paper used in the kitchen/for food prep the last couple months. I would LOVE these reusable bags. particularly for sandwiches, grapes, pretzels. pretzels are a small addiction of mine… particularly the sourdough ones!

Nuts. I love the idea of these. I made and my husband or son lost it at work or school. It was kind of hard and I tried to make them again, with not very good luck ๐

We always keep tons of fruit and cut vegetables on hand for snacks…I’m super fortunate that my 5 year old asks for healthy stuff FIRST when he wants a snack. I also make sure I have string cheese, yogurt and rice cakes because those things are big in my house, too.
Erica says
I liked Againbags as well.

I love to keep almonds and apples on hand. They are both a quick and easy snack and they allow for a bit of variety since they are both easily incorporated into multiple recipes.

We usually have pretzels and fruit on hand and use small plastic bowls to put in lunch sacks. Those can get a bit bulky. These bags would be great. Thanks for the giveaway!
