I freeze some things in regular ziplock bags and I've never had a problem with them. Note: I always use up that frozen food within a couple of months and normally way less time. What is special about their freezer bags that warrants twice the price of the regular ones? I've always wondered. |

You also seem to be up early. Or are you still up late? I was up for an hour before I posted that - a little early (3:30) for me to get up but I always get up around 4am work days and weekends. Have done that for over 45 years now. I've always loved the pre-dawn hour(s). "The early bird gets the worm"... however, "The second mouse gets the cheese" heheh > > It's Saturday morning - Time to get a new stash of frozen pizzas, > extra cheese, and broccoli! I recently discovered a decent "snack" frozen pizza. Bought a couple for grandsons coming for a visit and was told they like them. Well I tried one and I like them too. Not for a meal but just for a late night snack. Totino's Party Pizza (10.2oz). They're retangular and just 1/2 of one is a nice little snack. |

In my area, no. They do open by 6am though. Sausage biscuit and hash browns for $2.00 plus tax is hard to beat and tasty. (ignoring ingredients on that combo). I discovered that when I had to drive somewhere to get free wifi. I get free wifi at home now and it rules. SO much faster than dial-up: Rather than dial-up speed of up to 53 Kbps, this wifi gets up to 54 Mbps) My sister sent me a Christmas card with a $25 McDonalds gift card. oh yeah! :-D |

I've always wondered. Over a couple of months, no. The freezer bags are thicker and control freezer burn somewhat better than the regular bags. Cindy Hamilton |

Not liquids. > >Jill I don't use Zip-Locs for liquids either, sometimes they do leak, how do I know this, I use them for marinating but always in a bowl.... they do save on the quantity of marinade needed. I mostly use them for freezing fresh meats like roasts that I first wrap with Saran to prevent freezer burn and then into the Zip-Lock. Everytime I use Zip-Locs it ****es me off that they don't make and refuse to make a two quart size. It's gotten to the point that I'm ready to boycot Zip-Loc... the plastic bags at the produce section work as well if not better and they are free... after wraping in Saran place the item in a produce bag, squeeze out the air twist the open end and tie a knot in it, voila... screw you, Zip-Loc! In fact the produce manager knows me and gave me an entire roll of bags. Zip-Loc really should make a two quart and a three quart size, the gallon size is the least useful. a lot of wasted space. The typical 2-3 pound piece of meat really needs a 2 qt size, the 1 qt is two small but the gallon size is way too big. I've phoned Zip-Loc on this issue, however their people who answer their phone are rudest know nothings of any company I've ever contacted, and I contact lots. The vast majority of major companys are very receptive to comments and most all send me a stack of coupons, even for items 'll never use. Last time Lays sent me a dozen coupons for free chips, kept one and gave the rest to the grands. Zip-Loc wouldn't give the perspiration from their crotch, the snotnosed young imbecile was not at all interested in relaying my comment about making 2 qt bags... shoulda told the **** that zip-lock couldn't make proper sized condoms and their one quart was too small for me... perhaps the Zip-Loc gals all take the prolapsed gallon size. |

I've always wondered. Longer storage with a fresher product. People with chest freezers can save a lot of money using seasonal sales items from meats to veggies and fruits for a year or more with them. Regular packaging, including adding a ziplock over it is not the same preservation level. |
