Tips

We pack several Big Bags with us when we go on scuba diving trips ... one we use as a "dry" bag on the boat and one to use for a "wet" bag. We've turned lots of divers on to using these!

Anytime you're headed for the beach or pool, make sure you pack plenty of Ziploc® Brand Big Bags. Their convenient built-in handles make it easy to carry home wet swimsuits and towels.

Keep a Ziploc® Brand Big Bag with the Double Zipper Seal filled with toys your kids love and grab it on the way out to restaurants or long road trips. (Just be sure not to leave kids unsupervised with Big Bags.)

A great low-calorie snack that travels? Make sugar-free gelatin right inside the smaller Ziploc® Containers.

Use extra-small Ziploc® Brand Containers to store headphones and keep them tangle free in your handbag or gym bag.

Peaches arrive at the picnic unbruised when wrapped in a napkin and placed in a Ziploc® Brand Container.

When on the road, store your chips, cookies and crackers in Ziploc® Brand Containers to lock in freshness and to protect snacks from getting crushed.

I fill a few freezer bags with water and freeze them. They are great to use as ice packs or to cool off the kids in the summer.

Last week, I went rafting on the Guadalupe River in New Braunfels, Texas. I wanted to take my new digital camera to get some pictures of the river, since it is usually tame enough to tube on. I put my digital camera in a quart size freezer bag inside my purse (which was belted around my waist)because I thought I might get splashed! Never did I think that I would be flipped out of the raft into rough rapids and water over my head. But that's what happened. I am happy to say that I did not drown, and my camera was dry as a bone inside the Ziploc Bag after taking an accidental dive into the raging Guadalupe River! My digital camera is as good as new because Ziploc Bags really do not leak! I don't advise this manuever just to test them, but I'm sold!

If you're taking salad on the road, keep it from wilting by filling a Ziploc® Brand Freezer Bag with ice and setting it on top of the salad container.

As an avid fisher, my husband and I put four rubber worms in each snack size Ziploc bag. This way we don't have to carry a large package of worms, giving us color variety and the colors don't blend together. We can also add fish scent to the bags we want scented. They will marinate in the scent until time to use. Helps keep a neat tackle box.

I use the snack bags for my medications when we are traveling. Instead of carrying a lot of bottles, I put what I need to take in a snack bag and then I can just throw it out when I'm done. I do that with morning, evening, and bedtime medications. Then I know if I've taken what I am suppose to everyday.
