Researching resealable/reusable bags

Ziplock bags and such are just killing me these days, so I'm looking into something like thoes "stasher" bags. Does anyone have suggestions as to which are the best for people like us with frail, painful hands?

I'll include a photo of what I'm looking for, just as a reference. Thanks everyone!

  1. Boy, I hear you on this one, ! Honestly, if you have a Dollar Tree or Aldi in your area, they have products like these (not always year round) and you can get a feel for which ones you like before you spend a lot of money. We use bags like these for our kids lunches and we found cool zipper pouches (meant for food) that work for small snacks like pretzels, crackers, and chips (those zipper bags were an Aldi find). Walmart also carries silicone bags now, too. Really, I think it's okay to start with a small purchase and see how it works for you and how it holds up before you invest in a full set, if that makes sense. You can check online for availability in your local stores. This will save you from driving to Walmart, Aldi, or Dollar Tree only to find they don't have what you're looking for. I personally don't like to shop from Temu, but they do have slicons bags for sale. I can't speak to the quality or durability, though.

    I don't have an brand preferences, personally. They all have some pros and cons and even the sliders and zippers can be tricky if your hands are feeling especially stiff.

    But, I hope you get some helpful feedback and find what works best for you. I also will check out those reviews and even check Amazon from product reviews to get a sense of a product's quality. I try to read positive and negative reviews, too, just to make sure I get a full picture before I invest in purchasing a product.

    Best, Erin, Team Member.
