Testing, Testing...
Friends of Friends are great, aren't they? Last year I said yes (of course) when they were purging and wanted to get rid of a huge box of Hot Air Balloon Fabric-aka. Ripstop Nylon!
I wanted to make a reusable shopping bag that I could fit in a small purse and would hold a ton! I placed 6 jars of spaghetti sauce in this bag hung it on the door for 24 hrs. Seams stayed intact and when I put it through the washing machine, it came out the same as it went in.
Here is how small it gets when put in its own attached pocket.
I made a really icky peanut butter and jelly sandwich and placed it in my new reusable sandwich baggie. Built in the same style as a fold over sandwich bag it was put to the test.

I got so addicted to making these I made a trifecta: Sandwich bag (6 x 6 x 1), a chips bag (5 x 6 x 3) that folds over onto Velcro and a smaller version (3 x 6 x 2) that would be awesome for pretzels or Goldfish.
Can you believe the color choices?!?! Not only is there black but also black with silver on the other side and a gold one too!

Besides my sister who is getting a set to do her own product testing, I want to giveaway two more sets in honor of my 100th blog posting (which won't happen until next week but who's counting!). All you have to do is leave a comment telling me your kids (or your own) favorite portable lunch. I will close the comments on Tuesday at 11:59pm and I will ship internationally because I know you eat lunch too! Plus you get to pick the colors of your bags!
Good luck and happy lunching!
