I'm looking for food-safe, reusable alternatives to plastic Ziploc bags. I bulk prepare a week's meal on the weekend, portion, and freeze them. I'm hoping they have wider openings for portioning soups.

Stasher bags. I've switched to them a couple of months ago, and they've exceeded my expectations. I made a switch in an effort to remove plastic for storing my kid's food. I was hesitant to try reusable storage bags, worried that they'd be a waste of money. But they're actually quite useful and functional. 

Stasher bags are made from high-quality silicone, making them far more durable and long-lasting than single-use Ziploc bags. They can be reused countless times without breaking down or losing their seal.

The bags, once sealed, provide a strong, airtight seal, which helps prevent freezer burn and keeps food fresher for longer.

They’re freezer-safe, microwave-safe, dishwasher-safe, and can even go in boiling water.

You can opt for freestanding Stasher bags for soups.

OXO's ever so reliable, and its reusable silicone bags are a good option to replace plastic bags. 

I like them because they’re durable and perfect for meal prep or freezing leftovers. The leakproof seal is good for storing liquids. They’re easy to clean (dishwasher safe) and way better for the environment than single-use plastic bags.

I love Ziploc Endurables because they’re super versatile and durable, perfect for everything from storing leftovers to meal prep. These reusable bags are heat-safe, so you can use them in the oven or microwave, and they’re freezer-friendly too, which is always a plus. They’re eco-friendly, cutting down on single-use plastic, and they hold up really well over time.
