Sick of hand washing ziploc bags and paper coffee filters only

8. Wax paper bags (see Whole Foods) or foil or paper towels

around the food before putting it in plastic bags. My bags remain clean. I use foil wrapped around the wax bags and can often reuse the foil. I use glass jars: if you get a little battery or hand-pump air pump made for plastic bags, you can puncture a metal lid (maybe plastic, I don’t know) once with a push pin, suck air out of the jar and use tape or stickers to cover the hole; it holds a long time. I use the reusable stretchy plastic lids to cover regular containers or to directly cover the cut side of a watermelon or onion, etc. I just bought some cloth bags for produce, but haven’t tried them yet. I have some mesh cloth bags for replacing plastic produce bags at the store, but I admit to not having made using them a practice.
