Do you re-use ziploc plastic bags?

It seems such a waste throwing them out. But they are so useful in the freezer and fridge.

Have you found a satisfactory way of washing and drying them? Or a 'greener' alternative.

I used to, don't use them much anymore.
wash, turn inside out and air dry on the draining board.

I wash them and dry them inside out propped up on top of cutlery.I hate throwing them out.

I use tubs instead. The sort that come from the chinese takeaway. You can also get them in supermarkets or the £1shop. Can go from fridge/freezer to microwave. I reuse them 100's of times before they start to crack.

I don't use many but yes I do reuse. Turn inside out, wash thoroughly and air dry. I throw them out when the zip no longer works or they have holes in.

Such as we have I try to re-use, but they are a pig to wash and dry properly. One of the reasons I use tubs instead wherever I can.
