Good reusable food storage bags

I've been trying to wean myself off plastic bags because they're expensive and create a lot of waste. This bag set comes in handy for us as it contains larger bags suitable for marinating food which can create a lot of waste. I've had no issues with leaks and the pouches wash well - I hand wash them and actually use a pasta dryer to dry the pouches. Washing them out can be frustrating, but it reduces both our costs and our waste, so I think it's worth it. If we put a lot of tomatoes/acidic foods in the bags they may discolor a bit but if they produce too much smell and color we wash them with baking soda and that seems to help a lot. We spray the inside of the bag with cooking spray before storing the tomatoes/sour foods in the bags, this reduces staining although the cooking spray can be difficult to wash out of the bags over time. Sometimes the cooking spray can get a bit sticky in the bag. Nothing is perfect. But this range of bags seems to us to be one of the best because the sizes are more convenient. We don't pack a lot of meals and tend to use plastic bags for marinating, storing leftovers and freezing food for long-term storage, so smaller bags aren't used as often. I love gallon bags - I use them all the time. Overall I find this a very useful accessory in the kitchen.
