Silicone Baggies

Has anyone else used silicone baggies? I’ve been wondering if they’re really worth the switch.

When I did a big produce haul recently, I washed everything and stored it in gallon-size plastic baggies. After juicing through ten bags, I started feeling guilty about the waste. I still had seven more bags waiting and tossing them out just felt wrong.

At one point, I had four baggies drying upside down over plastic cups on the counter, rotating them out as they dried. It worked, but it was a bit of a pain. A bag drying rack would definitely make things easier. I even looked on YouTube for reviews and heard that Aldi sometimes carries silicone bags under the Crofton brand. If my local store has them, I might try one next time I am able to go out shopping again. I really dislike not just being able to zip up to the store. Note: Date is April 19, 2020.

Update: I went by Target and for one 1/2-gallon Stasher brand bag, it was $19.99. I thought that was too expensive for me so I passed.

Update 2023: I picked up a set of Joie brand silicone bags from Walmart in various sizes. So far, they’ve held up well — no issues, and I’ve reused them multiple times. It’s been a solid switch that cuts down on waste without the guilt of single-use plastic.
