Since I normally use reusable shopping bags, I was running low on the reg. plastic one I save and use for my son's dirty diapers. I had the opportunity reuse a few large plastic ziplock/bags. One was a ziplock of some frozen bananas/strawberries, I freeze for smoothies after they get a bit too ripe..didn't have to rinse. Another from some garlic bread...didn't rinse. And the other was from a GIANT bag of frozen peas...again didn't rinse. So feels good to re-purpose 3 plastic bags and didn't waste any water.
