GreenTime Bags Review & Giveaway

Picture
I have always liked the idea of reusable sandwich 
and snack bags, especially with lots of kids in the house
we tend to use a lot of baggies with food leftovers, 
snacks for on the go and in the car or my husband and I
taking lunches to work. 

My 6 year old has some obsession with baggies as well! 
Every time I need one for leftovers or to put something small in
 or whatever the need may be it seems they are always gone!
Cleaning the play room I always find baggies full of the 
funniest things! 
 Since I received these GreenTime Sandwich & Snack 
bags to review I really have noticed just how much we use
baggies on a regular basis. I have always been one to keep 
and reuse them, I am always shaking out the cracker and
snack crumbs and putting them back in the pantry next
to all the crackers, pretzels and things the kids always
like to have on hand so they can be reused again and again. 
 I don't have a lunch sack/bag for work and usually just
grab a large ziplock to store my left overs or sandwich in
and easily keep it all together. I was excited to try out the 
GreenTime Sandwich Bag the other day
I love the cute fabric, so much better looking than a
clear baggie so bonus for the fashion/style side!
They have a large selection to choose from!
I used the small sandwich bag and it fit nice and snug
I then decided to try it in the larger bag..
 a lot more room and perfect if you wanted to toss in a few
carrots & celery sticks or something to go along side it. 
Great also to fill either one of them alone with pretzels, chips
or anything else you want to take along with your meal.
 Easily secures with velcro to keep it fresh until its ready to enjoy.

 According to GreenTime website every day on average a 
person throws 3-4 baggies away! I would say we throw
that many away in a week or longer at the very most, but
not a day. And I am sure alot of that is due to the fact that we
reuse them so much. Still that's a lot of bags going to the landfills.

These bags are so simple and easy to clean and reuse as well 
so its not alot of extra work on your end if that's whats holding
you back. The nylon and perva fabric allows your food to stay
fresh for 24 hours so you can make & pack your food the
night before as well and easily wipe out the liner. If needed 
they are also hand or machine washable. 

You can also find reusable produce bags and cloth napkins
on their website, so be sure to check them out too!

Thousands of bags get thrown away each year.
Greentime offers products that help eliminate the use of
 plastic and paper, saving the landfills and helping you be waste free!
