Definitely worth the extra little effort to save them. I use a LeSportSac for my lunch bag, because I really liked it and wanted something pretty after years of brown bagging it. :) I second dreamy1’s sentiment, and would add that you’re also saving our environment.

Techincally they are disposable, and I used to just throw them away, but if I just put pretzels in them, and I'm going to put pretzels in them the next day, why toss it? For a lunch bag, I use an insulated one with a freezer pack in it to keep my lunch cold. We have an office of about 100 people, and 2 refrigerators. So I have to keep it in my cube most of the time. Similar to some at this site. http://www.reusablebags.com/ And I don't think you're being cheap, I mean, if you can save 1 1/2 cents per day, that's only like $5.50/year. That to me is one load of laundry! I am the same way, but I do it with plastic zipper baggies.
