Going Green with the Grizls

Don’t you just get so tired of throwing stuff out? Disposable sandwich bags, napkins, paper towels, etc. It seems so silly to waste money on stuff that’s just going to end up in the trash. Even though I try really hard to be “green” I use all those products. A lot. Especially paper towels. Eric got this huge deal on paper towels awhile ago through Staples and now I have a floor to ceiling stack of bulk paper towels in my basement. So I feel like I have to use them…..ugh! So I try to compensate in other ways by using less of the other stuff. I love using cloth sandwich and snack bags. Eric even takes them to work. ;)

When Done with Disposables contacted me to review a few of her products, I was ecstatic when she said she would send a snack bag! You can never have too many and Grady needed one of his own (the few I have are rather girly). In addition to the snack bag, she also sent the most adorable bib for Haley! The prints she sent were right on. She couldn’t have chosen better prints for our family. Grady got a Thomas the Train Snack Bag (he’s train obsessed lately) and Haley got a Purple Guitar Bib (Eric plays guitar and we have them everywhere in our house). I smiled when I opened the package and saw the prints because we didn’t even discuss what I wanted! In addition to snack bags and bibs, you’ll also find handmade cloth wipes! You can never have too many of those either!

Grady snatched up the snack bag as soon as I opened the package. He was super excited that there were “choo choos” on it. He has a little trouble getting the zipper open and closed, but he’s only 2. With some practice he’ll be able to open it himself with no problems. The sewing quality is excellent. Nice straight stitches and the zipper functions perfectly. She sells several different sizes and we have a medium size. It has plenty of room for a snack and is even big enough to fit a sandwich in there. It’s cleaned up nicely so far. All you need to do is wipe it out after each use, or you can throw it in the washer. I’ll keep you updated on how it fares after prolonged use, but I think it will do very well.

Like I said above, the bib she sent for Haley is ADORABLE. I haven’t used it much yet since Haley doesn’t really need a bib at the moment, but she’s been starting to drool a little, so I’ve put it on her a few times. It’s washed up great so far, and again, the sewing is excellent. The thing I like best about this bib is that the closure is snaps instead of velcro. Velcro gets so yucky after awhile, so I know that this will look nicer so much longer (and she won’t be able to pull it off either)! One side is a cotton fabric and the other looks to be minkee. It’s so soft!

Both products are made extremely well and in the process of living a “greener” lifestyle, I get to support a WAHM as well!

  1. The reusable snack bags are such a wonderful idea! I could definitely use those in my household.

  2. We love reusable snack bags too, and not just for snacks. We also use them to carry crayons, cloths, etc. when we go out.

  3. I have been dying to try some reusable snack bags and those are absolutely adorable. I am loving her prints. They are to cute

  4. Rahel Moore says:

    I like the fact that the snack bag is zippered. I prefer to keep the food well contained instead of it coming out because it is snapped or velcro.

  5. Bethany Beer says:

    So cute!

  6. We use Tupperware for all of our snack and sandwich needs. I also use cloth napkins. I do buy the occasional roll of paper towels but it takes us months to use up a roll. I love the snap on the bib too! I find that my kids yank off velcro bibs and end up a mess.

  7. Michelle Ferguson says:

    I am horrible about using disposable pale towels and sandwich bags! These reusable sandwich bags are aawesome and I definitely wouldn’t buy disposable bags if I had these!

  8. I got some reuseable snack bags as gifts and these look really cool too especially for kids!

  9. I would love to move DH to all reusables. CUrrently we use all glass tupperware in our lunches to reduce our consumption.

  10. I love re-usable snack bags but they cost so much as a start up! I started having my son bring home ziplock baggies after lunch so I could wash and re-use but it didn’t usually work out so these would be great!

  11. Hannah Avery says:

    I absolutely love the bandana bibs! It would be so nice to have for a drooler!

  12. These products look awesome! I’m trying to be done using plastic bags and the like- it would be great to have some of these bags. Not to mention the prints are adorable. :)

  13. Julie O'Brien says:

    I think it’s great that people use re-useable diapers, but I just prefer the ones I buy in the store. I do use reusable snack packages, and containers, recycle and conserve water. I try to help be green.

  14. Such a great idea, we need some snack bags in my home. I love all of the prints!

  15. We are slowly getting more and more green — we just recently made the switch to cloth napkins, next will be ‘un-paper towels’ :)

  16. This looks really neat! I’m sure we’d love it!

  17. I do feel guilty about not being more green conscious. Especially since we’ve had our daughter. Every time we tear off a paper towel I see the waste we’re causing. I’d love to get more reusable bags for snacks and sandwiches as well because we’d use them instead of the plastic we’ve been using.

  18. Reusable snack bags are a great idea! I need to get some of these!

  19. That snack bag is great. I love the print.
