I pack lunches and snack for my family daily so I am always looking for ways to reduce waste or cost of the items I use to make them. I bought this set of six reusable bags. The set comes with three clear silicone bags and three food safe polyester lined fabric bags. The bags I received have this cute fruit design on the fabric and a black zipper closure with a coordinating carrying handle. These reusable bags save me money by letting me avoid buying those disposable bags or plastic wraps and allows me to keep waste to a minimum.

I use the fabric bags to pack dry items such as veggie chips, cookies or pretzels and the silicone bags for wet or sticky items such as cut vegetables, fruits and homemade granola bars. I like that the fun patterned fabric bags add a little whimsy to our rather boring plain lunchboxes. The silicone bags are leakproof and waterproof. My husband drops them down into his cooler full of ice in the morning before he leaves for work. His food stays fresh and dry throughout the day even as the ice begins to melt.

These bags are NOT machine washable nor are they microwave or dishwasher safe. I hand wash them in with dish soap and warm water and then turn them over on my cup rack to dry. These bags also should not be used to hold hot foods because the heat can damage the liner or seals of the bags. These bags are BPA Free and freezer safe. The clear silicone bags measure about 8 inches tall and 8 inches wide. The fabric bags are about 7 inches tall and 7 1/2 inches wide.
