Moms Wear Your Tees Blog: reusable sandwich bags

Kids Konserve was founded by two mothers who wanted to set example of conservation for their children and empower them to be the examples of change for the future! According to the EPA, each year the U.S. consumes 380 BILLION plastic bags, sacks, and wraps! Kids Konserve is dedicated to the cause of helping make your life easier one less plastic bag at a time by providing waste-free lunch kits and other reusable products.

I was very happy to be able to review Kids Konserve Snak Pak. My kids and I love to go out and do fun stuff and it is always nice to have a snack handy or pack a little picnic! The Kids Konserve Snak Pak is the perfect waste-free solution for on the go snacks. I love the reusable cotton drawstring bag which measures 9" x 13". It is a great size and the draw strings help keep things from escaping! I also love that you can throw it in the wash. It comes with a very cute matching cloth napkin and reusable food kozy, the Kids Konserve reusable plastic baggie. The food kozy is very easy to use with velcro closure and very easy to wash. It also comes with a reusable 304 food-grade stainless steel leak-proof food container. I really love the stainless steel food container because it is so easy to wash and does not hold any food colors or odors like plastic ones do. It feels great having a ready to go NON-TOXIC, Non-Leaching, BPA-free, PVC-free, Phthalate-free, and Lead-free snack option all ready to use. I also love that it is so stylish I would use it for my own light lunch without kids and feel pretty sassy!

You can check out Kids Konserve to see all their waste-free lunch kits and reusable bottles. Kids Konserve has generously offered a 15% discount code valid until June 30- "yourtees". Enjoy!

My daughter starts kindergarten next year and I will be packing her lunch and snacks so I am excited to have discovered ReUsies, a re-usable alternative to sandwich/snack bags. ReUsies™ are 100% cotton lined with leak-resistant nylon (BPA, Lead and Phthalate free) and are secured with Velcro® closures. Each is made in the U.S.A. one has the potential to eliminate hundreds of plastic bags.

ReUsies was founded by Seattle moms with a hope that the footprint we leave behind for future generations will be much smaller. "We take pride in our product and we hope you enjoy them too...We developed ReUsies™ for their waste-free quality, but many customers primary reason for purchasing our product was to eliminate plastic from being in direct contact with their family’s food. Whatever your reason, know you have made a good choice!"

ReUsies come in two sizes- snack and sandwich. We tried ReUsies out and found they worked great and the velcro closures were easy for my daughter to use.
The snack size holds a half sandwich perfectly and is also just right for holding some grapes or pretzels. The sandwich bag is great for holding a full sandwich or a larger snack. Right now, we are enjoying them for trips out around town and I am very excited to know that they will be useful for Sierra's lunches next year. They are also easy to care for. I just wiped them clean with a sponge and air dried, but you can also machine wash or wash in the dishwasher!

ReUsies did provide me with sandwich and snack ReUsies in hopes that I would share my honest opinions. I did not receive any monetary compensation and the opinions expressed are my own.
