Perfect for diabetics
The snack size are perfect for diabetics. We are only alloted so many grapes, nuts & raisins per day. When I buy in large amounts I measure everything into the baggies. Then I can just grab my allotment for the day. It is perfect to take with me when I dont know how long I will be away from home. Perfect to take to the movies.

Beautiful deviled-eggs
When I am asked to bring a dish I always want to bring deviled eggs but they are hard to transport because they move on the plate and create a mess. I now travel with the stuffing for the egg white in a Ziploc Bag. When I reach my destination I snip the corner of the bag and decorate the egg whites and end up with beautiful stuffed deviled eggs.

Making a strainer
Put one Ziploc Bag with holes inside another Ziploc Bag without holes to use for a strainer or to marinade or even bread your food without the mess. We just started camping and you need many conviences when you are limeted for space. This would eliminate the use of bowls that take up a lot of space on the counter and in the refrigerator when cooking.

Dip It
For a fun spin on outdoor entertaining, create a dipping station so guests can put their personal twist on grilled favorites. Get creative by making several unique dips and serve them with grilled staples like fish, vegetables or meat. Try Miller’s grilled beef kebab recipe with three complimentary dips: chipotle-lime mayo, wasabi soy sauce and roasted red pepper. To offer your guests even more variety, try making the kebabs with beef, chicken, shrimp or Portobello mushrooms.

Getting to the bottom of flour
I hate when I use my canister for flour and sugar etc.. and the scoop cannot get the last bit to use up when baking/cooking. I use the gallon size and quart size as a liner in my canisters and now when I want to et the las bit I can just pull the Ziploc Bag out and pour into measuring cup. This also helps keep the critters out by zipping up the bags in the canister.
