(Closed) ReSnackIt Review and Giveaway Ends 6/30

Have you ever stopped to think about how many plastic baggies you throw away? ReSnackIt wants to help you make informed decisions about the one-time use baggies you use, so you can make a change for the better! Reusable bags are the eco-friendly way to store your food while on the go!

Did you know? A few facts for you from ReSnackIt...

-Approximately 20 million baggies are thrown away every week in US schools 

-An average family spends $300 per year on snack packing materials

-It takes 1,000 years for a plastic bag to break down and as it does, toxic substances leach into the soil and enters the food chain

I was sent this Pink Zebra Sandwich Bag to review. First of all, this pattern is just too darn cute for words! I love the pink and brown together!

The sandwich bags measure approximately 7”W x 6”L. The outside is 100% cotton, and the lining in non-dyed nylon. The material is lead free, BPA free, phthalate free, and PVC free which makes their products food safe. The lining also helps food retain it's moisture too. They are also made right here in the USA!

This sandwich bag has the classic style and shape you see from most reusable sandwich bags out on the market right now. However, the cool part that I love the most is that both the layers are folded over when you close the bag and not just the flap. This helps keep you food fresher, and the contents INSIDE the bag, and not all over during transportation.  Although I wish the velcro was horizontal instead of vertical to aid in keeping a tighter seal, it's nice to be able to customize the size of the bag if you need to. Just fold down more or less depending on what's in the bag. So it is in fact a nice feature.

The sandwich bag is made really well, and will definitely hold up to a lot of abuse from young children! Always a plus. :) I think I would prefer the sandwich size bag for even snacks because it's a nice and deep size to keep the contents inside and help you avoid spills from little ones too. The extra trim around the whole bag really adds to the style of this pattern especially, but it also makes the bag feel more sturdy and durable. It seems to really help in keeping moisture inside better that just having just a serged edge too...a little extra barrier there! 

You can machine or hand wash ReSnackIt products, and machine or air dry them as well. Obviously hand washing and air drying will prolong the life of the product.
 

Price: Sandwich Bags are $9.99.

The Verdict: These are super cute, super functional reusable products! The materials hold up really well, and are made to last. The only thing I would prefer is that organic cotton be used. Oh, and I wish the ReSnackIt logo was sewn on the front flap instead of the back. It's just too cute to hide it on the back! :)
