Who’s giving you free Ziploc bags , I have to buy mine

I was the +2 poster. I don't use ziplocs for my suitcases, I use regular plastic bags that I get from stores for free. That said, my kids come home with stuff in ziplocs all the time, which I do save and reuse I may start using them for packing.
