Reusable Snack Bags by Plum Creek Mercantile

For decades zip lock bags have been a go-to for holding snacks. But trying to reuse them can be messy and eventually they fall apart. That’s why we really like these reusable cloth snack bags from Plum Creek Mercantile.

The reusable bags are a great alternative to plastic bags, while not as bulky as reusable storage containers. The bags are made of 100% cotton twill so no plastic material is involved. The downside is that they can’t be used for wet foods, but they’d be great for any dry food snacks.

The bags come in a number of fabric designs and sizes. They run $4.75 - $5.25 depending on size, or $25 for a set of 5 snack bags (2 large, 2 medium, 1 small) – available at Plum Creek Mercantile.

How are they with foods that leave oil behind? Like, say, peanut butter cookies?

I love this idea!! I try to reuse my ziplock bags, but I knew there had to be a better solution out there...

Cosmetics bags! I use a variety of small pouches for foods - vinyl for cucumbers or wet foods and cotton for dried fruit or dry foods.

Look around your travel supplies - you probably already have usable bags.

I bought a set of 4 bags from Plum Creek about 4 months ago and they're holding up great. I use them for sandwiches, fruits, veggies, crackers, cookies, everything. I've gotten a couple stains here and there but I honestly don't care. The fabric on my set is pretty swirly and crazy so it's barely noticeable. I'd definitely recommend these, they're really awesome.
