What's in the bag?

Move over tin foil, there is a new kitchen accessory in town! Behold the pizza storage bag! And why did no one think of this sooner? I mean really. We had the plastic, we had the copyrighted and the knock-off Zip-lock mechanics, we have the education in geometry... what was preventing the invention of this bag until now?

So here is how I found it and then I will tell you how to find it. Yesterday I was walking through Soho doing some research on a few different subjects in my personal and professional life. I was able to cross pollinate some store visits to satisfy multiple subjects (something I learned from my college advisor!). 

SIDE NOTE: If you do not have an Urban Outfitters within a 10 mile radius of you, then I truly apologize for the absence of joy that this store brings to almost everyone that I know. With that being said, sign up for their email distribution and be sure to visit the nearest location the next time you travel. I will be happy to help you find that location, should you need assistance. 

My preferred location, and the one that I have frequented and been apart of the many transformations since my early college years, is the Broadway and Houston location in NoHo. It is now 3 floors (use to only be 1) of romantic and cavernous merchandise. They have really expanded beyond the apparel and accessories realm. They are not afraid of offending anyone about anything and they are consistently trying to bring you back to your youth while keeping up with every uber hip trend. On the third 3rd floor, which is mostly about making your home look the way you dress... is where is found the pizza bags... tucked away in a corner. With no fault to the merchandising team for hiding this small wonder... this is a HUGE store and if you have ever been in it or in any UO, you know that they are chalk full of gadgets and gizmos a plenty (hello Little Mermaid!). With that being said, not everything can be front and center, highlighted and item of the day. BUT... these, these are something else in my book... or blog. At first I grab one pack. They were 6 for $6. The one to one ratio was not great, but come on... great idea. I could find a way to re-use there right? So I grabbed a pack for me, a pack or my mother-in-law (because I have seen that refrigerator all too many times full of leftover pizza) and a pack for my sister-in-laws new boyfriend... because he is going to need a gift under the tree from us and he is a dude... who has a roommate... so they have leftover pizza, right? 

So where else can you get them? I Googled these little wonders and it looks like people are selling them on eBay of course. But the company that is making them is Mama Fresco's Pizza Saver. They have a website that lists the many stores that they are selling them to, but here are a few that maybe in your area in case there is not an UO, let alone an UO that sells the pizza savers.


or check your local Bed, Bath and Beyond, Gracious Home or Fortunoff.

Can you stocking stuffer for the college student? Single guy? Newly weds? Family? 
Pizza Pizza!
