Ziploc type bags

Don't know if anyone is looking for ziplocs but I found some at the 99p shop yesterday. They're called Home Extra Slider Food Bags.

yeah, most big supermarket chains will probably have a range of ziploc equivalents (I've got my lunch in one right now)

I was just about to post the same thing.  The only thing is (in my area of London, anyway!) they tend to be in the bigger Tesco stores, not the metros or locals.

I like the slidy ones that they have here in the UK better than the traditional Ziploc ones that they had in the US, where you have to get the two edges to interlock. I always had trouble getting those to close the whole way. Morrison's sells bunches of grapes already in the slidy bags.

Our Sainsburys hasn't had them for ages and we only have a small Tesco here so that's probably why I haven't seen them there either.  Anyway, just thought I'd mention it.

We get ours from Costco. Ziplock branded and all. I think they have both the sliding type and the classic pinch close. We only get the classic style ones..

Yes Ma'am Me too! I bought the freezer quart ones...I have tried the Tesco and Sainbury "freezer" bags and they leak when you defrost so I broke down and bought the bulk at costco.
I am now a happy person and think I have converted a few peeps around here

I wish we had a costco! I get mine sent over in care packages from the US.  Now I know to beg you Costco ladies instead  ;)

i too have had issues with the tesco and sainsbury ones, in that i can only use them once and they aren't sturdy enough to freeze in without leakage.  i don't mind them for kids lunches etc, but get the costco ones for freezing and multi use purposes.
