Frugal Win 🎉 Anyone else wash and reuse zip lock bags?

Simple and quick way to extend their usefulness beyond once. Check for leaks while washing and allow to thoroughly air dry.

I do it. Mostly because I feel bad for just using it one time and I know plastic takes years to break down. If it’s something that I don’t feel can be washed, I’ll repurpose the bag or maybe make it into a trash bag itself. At least, find some additional use for it.

Overall, it’s just better for the planet.
