When it comes to back to school shopping, it’s easy for moms to remember the clothes, school supplies, backpacks and other basics but one thing we often forget are the more common things our kids will need. One name you might want to keep your eye on is the EcoZip brand.
These amazing, green sandwich bags make packing lunch for the kiddies a breeze! You just fill one side, flip it, fill it, and zip that side, too. Of course, you can use them for far more than just lunch, but we will get into all of that in a minute. The sandwich bags include a larger side which fits a sandwich and a smaller side that is perfect for a snack.
If you find that you need to have a larger space and just want to use one bag (say you’re carrying an abundance of cookies) you can easily unzip the center and you’re good to go. So, in essence, one box of EcoZip sandwich bags gives you access to three sizes of bags, which are connected for convenience’s sake.
We received the sandwich/snack bags for review and found them to be more than adequate in size for a sandwich and snack. While these are all reasons to appreciate (and want to use) EcoZip, it’s the environmental friendliness that really makes me love the EcoZip brand.
The fact that these bags are made with less plastic makes them incredibly good for the environment. I am not going to tell you to avoid using sandwich bags because using them makes sense when you’re packing a lunch. They are inexpensive and easy to deal with. However, it doesn’t make them good for the environment. EcoZip may still be made of plastic, but using less plastic makes them a better option. When you add that to the fact that they are far handier and you get more than one size bag in each box then you definitely have a winner.
Depending on the size of the bags you buy, you can do far more with them than just lunches, too. We are planning a move and I am using one of the larger bags we were sent to store any USB cords and other cords for my gadgets. This puts them all in one spot and lessens the worry that comes with not being able to find them, which would happen if they were packed away in various boxes. I did something similar with my game microphones that we have to play the music/singing games for the various consoles we own. For the kids, we use them for art supplies, snacks, and craft dividers. The possibilities are pretty endless.
EcoZip bags are available in a number of stores both online and in your local area. From a local perspective some stores that carry EcoZip include Mid-Atlantic Kroger locations, Buehlers, Shopro, Stop + Shop, A+P, and Food Emporium. On the EcoZip website you can purchase boxes of the bags at $3.99 a box (any size) or three boxes (one of each size) for $9.99.
