Hi Ann

Washed-out plastic bags - ugh!  Can't she use ordinary glass jars, which 
most kitchens accumulate quite quickly?   I'm sure she could buy some if 
necessary, as a once-off.  Plastic bags in the long run will be more 
expensive, more prone to breaking in the freezer and bad for the environment 
in their own small way.

We use glass jars in preference to anything else in our Milk Bank.  In fact, 
it's awful when new donors send their milk in plastic bags, before we can 
get jars to them.  We have never had any problems with freezing etc, and we 
are using temps of down to minus 18 degrees C.  For one investment, the jars 
can be used over and over again, and for home use need only be washed well 
in hot soapy water and rinsed.

Best wishes
