#ziploc containers

[hafanforever]

When Frozen first came out, among the things I noticed being sold were three different types of Ziploc bags. So when Frozen II was coming out, of course they released the same kinds of Ziploc bags with images from the movie! 😁

So I have pictured here the boxes holding all three different types of bags from both films.

On the bottom picture, I have three containers of Elsa, which are another product of Ziploc called Twist n Loc, where the lid can be twisted to lock on to the container. Unfortunately, while these containers are still being sold online, their counterparts from the second movie are virtually nowhere to be found. 😔 A few weeks ago, I ordered what I thought to be the Frozen II containers from Amazon, but it turns out that the seller posted the wrong picture and sent me the Frozen containers. 🤨 I didn’t want to pay for something that was wrongly advertised and what I already own, so I have returned them.

Witchy Tip

You know what is absolutely bangin' for budget witchcraft?

Those little Ziploc containers.

Seriously. I got a bunch of the 8-oz ones on a whim (because they were cheap) and they've turned out to be a godsend. They're easy to open, close, fill, empty, label, clean, reuse, you name it. They're obviously food-safe, top-rack dishwasher safe for sterilization (if that's ever a concern), and microwave safe, so you don't have to worry about harmful chemicals leaching into your materials if you use them for herb storage.

That and they come in a bunch of sizes, from tiny to quite large, take a fair amount of wear and tear, and have a thousand-and-one uses.

Fill them with your herbs and powders. Use them to store and organize small components. Plop in a little potting soil and seeds, put them in the sun, and use them as indoor plant starters (the lid helps it function as a miniature greenhouse).

And did I mention they're CHEAP?

Ziploc containers may not have the same ambiance as a shelf full of glass jars, but damned if they aren't some of the handiest things I've come across in a long time.

The first thing I looked for at my new grocery store was for these Ziploc containers. They had them!
