I have to admit, I've always been a sucker for plastic bags. From leftovers to half-cut fruits, they're just so convenient to use. But I made it one of my goals to reduce the amount of plastic I use in my household. Then, a friend of mine told me about these Stasher Reusable Bags ($32, originally $43), which have since become a staple kitchen gadget of mine. Ahead, I share why I've fallen in love with them and why you should scoop them up while they're discounted during Amazon's Big Spring Sale.
I'll be honest: The thought of washing every bag I ever used really turned me off, so I wasn't sure if I would like them. Nonetheless, I listened to my friend's recommendations and bought a pack to give them a shot. That was four months ago, and now I own several. Silicone Based
It only took a few uses to convince me I needed more. The quality is far more durable than I expected, and they don't feel like they will rip or tear easily. The best part? They're both microwave and dishwasher-safe, made from food-grade platinum silicone. My fear of cleaning them was quickly debunked when I tossed my first one in my nightly dishwasher run. I simply pulled it out the next morning, and it was ready to go again.
As for how often I use them? Daily! I have a large half-gallon size one I love to use to marinate food and leave overnight. I most often use the sandwich size to store fruits and veggies that I've already cut up. I even use one to keep an open can of cat food. Plus, they go beyond just the kitchen. I've used mine on a few occasions for personal care products while traveling.
Without a doubt, Stasher bags are the best investment I've made in a long time. If you, too, are sold and want to try a few for yourself, keep reading to shop some of our favorites, many of which are under $25 for Amazon's Big Spring Sale.
