With two kids, and a husband who fortunately takes a lunch everyday to work, I have noticed that I go through sandwich baggies like crazy. I use one when we go out with cheerios or a snack in them, I use them for leftovers, and everyday my husband uses one for his sandwich. Well I have found the perfect solution: Fresh Snack Pack. Not only did a mom, Crystal Figlietti, create this product but it also received an award from the National Parenting Center!
A Fresh Snack Pack is a Durable, Washable, and best of all Reusable bag. The creator brags on her site that even though her kids have passed the 100th day of school, they are still using the same sandwich bag! I love that! Not only is it less waste for the environment, but also saving me money from buying box after box of cheap baggies that fall apart anyways!
Fresh Snack Pack Features:
Material: Made of a thick, durable EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate), which is meant to be reusable. EVA is also a BPA free and phthalate free plastic so it is non-toxic. It is safe for the storage and contact with food according to the FDA.
Production: All Snack Packs are made ethically in China.
Appearance: These bags are clear so you can easily see what you have packed in them. I have seen other reusable containers that were colored or fabric and with two kids you don’t have a lot of time to figure out what is what!
The Fresh Snack Packs come in two different sizes and are perfect for whatever your lunch or snacks entail. So you can fill up your Fresh Snack Pack and toss in your briefcase, diaper bag, purse, or lunch tote. I even use these bags around the house when I have little snacks for the kids. Aidan loves to carry around the Snack Size bag with Teddy Grahams in it! These bags can also be laid flat and used as a placemat so you are not eating off some dirty table or getting crumbs all over. Best of all you can flip the bags so they stand up and hold food for you too!
Sandwich Size is 8″ x 6″ closed and fits a whole sandwich or a large portion of fruit or snacks.
Open 8″ x 17 1/2″ when opened flat.
Snack Size is 6″ x 4″ closed and is perfect for a handful of crackers or fruit. Open 6″ x 12″ when opened flat.
Overall, I love these bags and now they are a staple item in our everyday routines here. I just wash and dry them at the end of the day and fill them up for the next. I love that I don’t have to worry about toxins or chemicals on them and that they are easy enough for my son to use and for me to use one handed!
Buy It: Visit Fresh Snack Pack and you can purchase these bags directly from their website!
Well since I hate not sharing items I love with you guys, I have teamed up with Fresh Snack Packs to giveaway a set of these great bags to one lucky winner! Winner will receive: 1 sandwich and 2 snack size bags!

I hate buying sandwich baggies just to use once and throw away. I’ve tried washing and drying them, but that’s not for me. I would love to win these. Hopefully they clean up and dry more easily than regular baggies.

I found out that they are not dishwasher safe which made me 🙁 .
But I can put up with that in exchange for all the good qualities 🙂 like being PVC Free and non-toxic.

I love that these are clear, so we can see what is in them. And they look more like the regular baggies than other reusable ones – so my husband is more likely to try them out. And they sell them in my home state (KY) – near where some family lives! 😉 I couldn’t find any info no whether or not they were recyclable, though…
Thanks for the opportunity!!
