I have always insisted on Ziploc bags, nothing else...My husband was processing some meat last night and he complained constantly, the bags rip at the bottom and do not seal as they used to...I garden and store all the ceggies I can in bags and had experienced the same thing...the plastic is just as thick and durable...we are now going to search out other bagging options.....Please restore the oldie but goodie bags...please

I understand the need to improve things in our ever changing world but don't fix what isn't broken! Your freezer bags WERE the best on the market. Then you tried to improve what was already a exceptional product. You didn't need 'blue tabs' for opening. They have only created a bigger more glaring problem that you did not have before. Just stick to a quality bag that closes and seals well. Keep a strong ml and be done. Very disappointed! And in that disappointment comes loss of brand allegiance. DON'T FIX WHAT WAS NOT BROKEN IN THE FIRST PLACE

We use these for everything! The freezer ones are our favorite due to the added thickness. Rather than rinse and reuse them,….I store the used ones near my trash can and will put stinky trash in them and zip it closed. Works well for tossing out pet poo too. That way each bag gets used twice!

I've been using this product forever with no issues, it was great. Then this new easy open tab happened and EVERY SINGLE one of the freezer bags I've used from the last two packs (at least 40 bags and counting) the seal just keeps ripping off the one side and I can't seal it back up. I could handle it if it was a few bags, but not every single bag, how frustrating! Apparently I'm not the only one throwing all of my money down the drain on these "new and improved" bags. Will be looking for alternative brands.

I have used Ziploc bags for many years. The 'new' tab seal is a good design with poor workmanship or a poor design. Most of the time when I unzip the bag, the bag tears just below the seam. Also the bags are very difficult to unzip. they tend to stick together too tight.

my favorite bags. I read something recently saying that the storage bags were only slightly thinner than the freezer bags and could be used equally. I ordered both and the freezer bags feel better, and stand up way better in the freezer. the freezer bags are a superior product and worth the extra $

I couldn’t open the bag bc it was sealed too tight! Had my hand band open it and he had trouble too but finally got it unsealed! Every bag was like that.Must have been a bad batch bc we never had that problem before! Wish Sam would sell Zipper closures.

Better than the competition, but several limitations. Bags hold up well for short-term, drier items. I froze blueberries and raspberries in gallon bags and they did quite well. I could open and close the bags several times without much trouble. After awhile, the bags did not seal quite as well. For items with more liquid in them, the bags are okay initially, but the corners start to leak, especially after thawing something frozen. They are also not great for use as ice packs. Even with two bags, both sealed, they leaked when the ice melted.

After a few weeks in the freezer, I noticed the bags were getting filled with air. I submerge the bags when sealing to get out as much air as possible. The plastic is tight around the food when I put it in the freezer, but then slowly fills up with air. It does not matter what the food is. This is the only brand that does this. These bags did not always do that.

I have been using Ziploc bags for years, but someone broke them! The new design of the easy open tab makes the bags break. I have to use scissors to cut them open! I don't see how these passed any kind of testing! I will be buying a different brand for all of my storage needs.
