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.

These are great. I like to carry snacks with me, like almonds, and this would be much better than using little baggies.

Well, we usually keep some granola bars and chips on hand. Not the healthiest things, perhaps, but they do work with my allergies!

Kelly says
A necessity in our household is chocolate chip cookies although, the healthy snacks we always keep on hand are carrot sticks. My girls love them! Otherwise, chocolate, being an antioxidant is our [my] go-to stress-relieving snack:)

PW says
I pack a lunch everyday for myself and my husband. I am excited that there are re-usable bags now. I pack fruit, veggies, chips, pretzels. We do wash and re-use our plastic bags when we can, but this is so “greener” and I like that they can be washed.
