Meh, I reuse everything multiple times. More to the question, I don't buy ziploc bags, or plastic wrap for that matter. I get plenty of stuff online that comes in resealable bags, so I keep those. Small bags go in a cigar box on top of the fridge, larger bags in the drawer. Just wrapped a tomato and onion in pieces of plastic from other goods.
Ex-MIL had a fit about me using store bags to wrap leftovers. "OMG! You don't know what kind of rats were in that factory!" Yeah. Rats are notorious for eating long-chain polymers. Plastic factories are overrun with vermin!
Seriously y'all, plastic is easily cleaned and reusable. And it's not like bacteria are chowing down on dry plastic. LOL, my Greatest Gen grandma used to turn Ziploc bags inside out and clean them with soap! Why not?
Pro tip: Take plastic grocery bags, mash 'em flat, roll tight and throw a rubber band on. Portable trash bags the size of a lipstick, uh, stick, thing.
What do you get online that comes in resealable bags?
