Thanks for the review. I've noticed a time or two that guests at the motel
use them when traveling.

: I didn't mark this off topic as I think lots of us here are interested in
: storage products. I think the subject line is clear enough to warn off
: anyone offended by a frank discussion of ziploc bags.
:
: Let me preface this review by clearly stating my bias towards plastic
: interlocking zipper-style closure bags, of any brand. I have boxes of them
: in every size from the little snack size to the biggest ones I can find. I
: save and reuse them (not ones with food - I'm too lazy to wash them out),
: and my bag stash is a considerable force to be reckoned with.
:
: When Ziploc came out with the Big Bags, I hunted them down. I found them
at
: my local Super Target, after striking out at several large grocery stores.
: In the Super Target, they were with the other Ziploc bags, not with the
: storage bins. I purchased both the Extra Large and the Extra Extra Large
: bags. I can't remember exactly how much they cost - it was about $4 for
: each. You get 4 XL bags and 3 XXL bags, respectively.
:
: The XL bag holds a twin-size quilt easily. Or my entire Halloween fabric
: stash, but Spike and Giles had to sit on the bag for me so I could get it
: closed. The XXL bag can hold 2 twin-size quilts easily. It is long, so it
is
: awkward to carry, but I don't suppose most people would attempt to use it
as
: a purse. I currently have my Halloween stash in one XL bag, and 2 UFOs in
an
: XXL bag. I put them in the bags to tidy up my sewing area, and move them
out
: of the way as we decorate for Christmas.
:
: I did find the ziploc closure to be difficult to get closed. It would
: benefit greatly from the zipper slider that they use on some of their
other
: bags - like the gallon-size, but I'm not sure how that would work with the
: handle at the top of the bag.
:
: The bags are thicker plastic than standard food-storage bags, and seem
: sturdy. They are folded as a set in the box, so you can't pull out just
one
: bag from the box. You must take them all out, unfold them, take the one
you
: want, then fold up the others to go back in the box.
:
: There is some controversy over storing fabric in plastic bags. I am not
: going to address that here. This is merely passing along product
information
: to be used (or discarded) as you wish.
