Pros

    Double zip seal, prevents freezer burn, helps save money, reuseable in some cases

    We all know the value of buying in bulk and saving money. I buy my meats in bulk at Sam's Club and I separate it into meal sized portions and freeze it. Of course a lot of people buy those vacuum sealers but why waste your money when there is Ziploc Freezer bags!

    Why Ziploc?

   
I buy my meat in bulk and also my Ziploc 1 Gallon Freezer Bags, after all it's only fitting for saving me money. The double zipper lock on the bags is supposed to be sufficient but I go one step further. After I separate the meat into dinner sized portions I zip the bag almost all the way, then I stick a straw into the bag and seal off the best I can with my fingers and suck the air out of the bag. Although I don't get it all out I do get 95% of it out of there, thus doing my part to avoid freezer burn.

    The less air in a package when frozen means a lessor chance of freezer burn on the meats. Since I am trying to save money buying in bulk, why take a chance ruining the meat because of freezer burn. I have not lost any meat to freezer burn yet doing it this way.

    My wife does give me a weird look when she sees me doing it, but hey I never claimed to be normal anyway...lol Now I never reuse a bag that has had meat in it, yeah I know some would wash them out and reuse them. But I had food poisoning once and I am petrified of it happening because I was that skimpy. I will reuse one that has had cereal, dry noodles and such but never bags used to store meat. My families health is more important than saving a few pennies on a freezer bag.

    Bottom Line

   
Ziploc Freezer bags come in many sizes to fit many different needs. Buying in bulk (I buy a case at a time) saves me money and can save you money as well. They are made sturdy, prevent freezer burn and are easy to use. They also take up less space in your freezer and a well packed freezer will also help prevent freezer burn. I don't skimp when it comes to my family, but that doesn't mean I can't save money either.

I agree, and I also use these in my home business. I have manila folders for each company I work with. I scotch tape a sandwich size zip loc on the inside left side of the folder. Then, as I have small items like cd backups and USPS certified receipts, I place those in the ziploc bag and zip it. No more lost items! Keep up the good reviews!
