 <br><br>I only heard about this plastic ban thing second hand, I went looking to read up on it on line, and it looks pretty comprehensive and is coming fast.

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Wow, I don't know what to say, they have worked perfect for me, been economical, I think I have largely been using this brand for about 3 years, never had a zipper seal pop open. Never had a zipper fail to work, I did once or twice have the zipper closer thing fall off after closing the bag but I thought I was just being clumsy. The below picture is  as I was stacking them still warm, into the freezer in that picture, they are 9 high, so the lowest bag has 8 pints above it pressing down without a problem, and I think I still managed to get a few more on top after that picture.

But you do have me worried now. I don't want to stock up on a few thousand if there may be questions of quality. I will give this last batch a good test before I buy more.]]></content:encoded>

If you notice in the news lately a lot of talk about banning single use plastic, I don't know what will come of this talk, but  since freezing is my favorite way to store food from the garden I am going to be stocking up big time,and I mean big time, just in case!! 110 dollars will buy 1000 bags,cheap if you ask me!

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[One rancid, and one starting to be so. You must use freezer bags for the soups, sandwich types are just to thin. From memory the 8x7 inch size is perfect for holding 1 pint. I buy them from the dollar store something like 12 or 15 in a box. The per bag cost from memory works out to be somewhere around 15-20 cents per meal. The red tab bags in the picture are the best. Here is a tip if you do up large quantities like I do, 50 pints or so in size. That is a lot of hot meals to throw right in to a freezer. I have two 5 gallon pails of cold water 3/4 full, by the stove, as I scoop a pint quantity out of the steaming hot pot, I pour it into the bag, close the bag and drop it into one of the pails of cold water By the time I have finished filling 50 bags, or more, the soup bags have all cooled down enough that you can take them straight out of the pails and place into the freezer.<br>Another great thing about this method is cooking, I just toss the bag in a bowl and nuke it, or on the gas stove set the bag into a pot of boiling water...clean up is easy. ( I am a lazy man after all, and proudly so)]]></content:encoded>

When it is turkey or beef etc I get the bones for soup stock.  Getting 8 turkey carcasses at once is great.  One year he dropped off a bunch near Christmas.   No room/time to deal with them so I took them to work and put them in the small chest freezer we have.  It got unplugged accidentally.  About three weeks later someone opened it...  Well its funny now.]]></content:encoded>
