Expensive Zip-Lock Bags? Not for Me!

My 1970 aliyah to Israel predates zip-locked bags. When we first made aliyah, cheap giveaway plastic bags were rare. Now there's talk of joining the "no free bag" world, but I wouldn't invest in zip-locks. Over the years I've gotten some and hoarded them until they cracked. I've also tried washing them out.

In all honesty, I do not like zip-lock bags!

Every year before Passover I buy myself these:

They are simple food bags, in two sizes, that are very inexpensive. Considering that there are two hundred in each package and I don't don't use them daily, I have an enormous stock in my closet. After last Passover, instead of keeping them out, I put the new only used on Passover packages in the Passover closet.
