ReUsies Review (& Giveaway Ends 2/9)

Sponsored by Tomoson.com

ABOUT:

ReUsies™ are a re-usable alternative to sandwich/snack bags, each one has the potential to eliminate hundreds of plastic bags. ReUsies™ are 100% cotton lined with leak-resistant nylon and are secured with Velcro® closures.

Available in two sizes:

Snack: approx. 6” w / 5” h
The snack size holds a half sandwich or whole sandwich with the crust cut off! It is good for smaller quantities of crackers, pretzels, apple slices, etc.

Sandwich: approx. 7.5” w/ 6”h
The sandwich size holds a typical “grown up”- sized sandwich, full bagel, or larger quantity of snacks.

A typical lunch would contain one sandwich and two snack-sized bags or three snack-sized bags.

ReUsies™ can be machine washed and dried, washed in the dishwasher, or for longest life simply wiped clean with a soapy sponge and air dried.

MY THOUGHTS:

I love the idea of replacing my plastic sandwich bags with ReUsies.  They are not only adorable, but a great size and machine washable!  There are so many times when I fill a sandwich bag with some pretzels or goldfish to take on errands for my little guy and I feel so wasteful.  ReUsies are kid-friendly as they have a Velcro closure and my son thinks its cool to eat his snacks out of his colorful ReUsies rather than a boring plastic bag.  I also feel better not contributing yet another plastic bag to a landfill.

Overall, ReUsies are perfect for snacks and lunches, the small one is perfect for my son and the bigger one is perfect for me!  I also love that ReUsies are more durable and are not going to get gross and crinkly in my purse.  When my sons start taking lunches to school, I am definitely going to try to push ReUsies on them as that is a lot of sandwich bags they will be throwing away in their lifetime at school!

BUY IT: You can buy ReUsies directly from the ReUsies website or check to see if there is a store in your area that sells them.

WIN IT: (1) US winner will receive a 2-pack of ReUsies which includes 1 snack and 1 sandwich bag.  (Winner will provide a list of their top 3 pattern choices and one will be sent out as available.)
