I use the gallon (larger sizes too) ziplock bags to store my knitted projects to prevent them from being snagged during storage, accidental spills while traveling. Have used them to carry works in process and the bags hold up to the challenge. Of course they are great for storing food or any other item you choose.
We love these ziplock bags for so many things. They hold up well and very durable and have so may uses. We use these for leftovers, snacks, crafts, parts and pieces for things.. I also love them when traveling for shower supplies, makeup ect.
I use ziploc bags for sooo many things! Freezing extra meat, storing leftovers in fridge, you see what it is! Unlike a container. I use them to keep my deli purchased cold cuts fresh. Snacks for my granddaughter! Batteries that need to be recycled! The list goes on... couldn't live without them :)
