I’m not a big fan of reusing baggies. I’ll reuse baggies that have pretzels, chips, or crackers in them, but I don’t like reusing them when I carry deli meat or chicken and I’m not such a big fan of carrying fruits or vegetables either. I’m always worried about forgetting which baggie contained what and cross-contaminating them.

Do you use sandwich bags or sandwich sized zip lock bags? I use the later and take them home, rinse them out and leave them to dry (upside down on a paper towel holder I no longer use since I banned paper towels) before tucking them away to reuse. Again. And again. And again. Until they finally fall apart ages later…

That’s a great idea! I try to save and reuse sandwich baggies for dry stuff like pretzels, crackers, etc. But it does add up, and I feel so wasteful throwing away so much plastic. This could be a potential solution, though probably not for something like baby carrots. Hmmm, I’ll have to give it some thought…
