Now, don't get me wrong, there is a definite distinction as to WHICH ziploc bags I will wash. I will always throw away anything that had meat in it, or other foods that harbour mass amounts of bacteria. Plastic is porous after all, and I'm not taking chances. I do however, wash the bags that I put bread into. I found that making 1-2 loaves a week, they keep best in plastic, but it seems a waste to throw the bags away every week. So, I'll wash them.
As long as you stick to only bag washing bread bags, then I think you are okay. The big ziplocks are pricey, because the boxes only come with 15 or 30 bags which isn't a lot. I don't think you are crazy.
ReplyDeleteBut if you start washing the smaller bags or snack bags.. well, then you might be crossing the line. ;)
AAAAHAHAHAHAHA
ReplyDeleteI laugh at my mom for doing this, but at the same time, I can see myself doing the same. The idea of disposing of plastics after single use is disturbing for me, and yet we are surrounded with products that facilitate such a sin.
