What Brand Plastic Wrap Do You Use?

Sooner — Thu, 07 Jul 2016 03:32:22 GMT

I need to buy plastic wrap again, and I have found lately that any I buy is thin and cheap junk that is awful to try to work with. I have not bought from the big box stores like Sams (don't have Costco), so I thought I would see if any of you have found a brand you like.

I almost ordered some from King Arthur Flour--thought I would check here first.

THANKS for opinions and experiences!

We buy a store label from a store named Super Saver because I was having the same issues you mentioned.

I would not part with my Press 'n Seal! I was lucky to be selected as one of the testers for this product before it went on the market. We all loved it and couldn't wait for it to come out. I haven't used anything else since!

I use Reynolds plastic wrap. I don't think it's still readily available anymore. I noticed that it disappeared from all the markets.

I went into a discount store and saw that they had it there for $1.25 a box. I purchased 50 boxes. When it runs out, I am going to be so upset.

It's still available from Amazon for about $12 a box.

Alcoa bought out Reynolds in 1999

Stretch-Tite..I used to think they were all the same (i.e., not very good) but after 15 years or so of using it, I have learned not to even waste my money on anything else..

I use a product called ZIP-SAFE. It is available at Publix here in Florida. The box comes with a very handy cutting device to easily slice off a proper length of wrap, without all the hassle of many other brands.

I use a lot of plastic wrap, and it is one thing on which I won't skimp! That being said, I luckily found a bargain brand that will rival the Reynold's plastic wrap that is no longer made. It is Great Value Professional Strength Plastic Wrap found at Wal-Mart. Even though a store brand, it is still kind of expensive but works so well! For other needs where I need to reseal something over and over again, I like Press and Seal.

THANK YOU THANKS! I will check these out. I feel like I"m in the clutches of a giant killer squid when I try to tear off and untangle this flimsy stuff!

I've been using Boulder brand from Aldi. Not too thin, easy to pull out of the package without getting stuck to itself, and sticks well when wrapped.

Kroger Store Brand works great. Saran Wrap is awful to work with. I do like Press & Seal, but not enough to spend the extra little bit on it. I'll buy it if it's on sale or if I'm not at a Kroger & need plastic wrap.

I use Glad Wrap.

To be honest, I haven't tried others except Saran Wrap, way back in the day, and I hated that one. Went to Glad Wrap so long ago I cannot even remember when and just never changed.

I don't really use a ton of it, so what I use works great for me.

A few years ago I purchased one of those dispenser things from here for cellophane wrap and I use that. Makes using cellophane wrap a bit easier. I even had a cover made for it, since it doesn't fit in the drawer with all the other boxes of wraps and such.

Stretch-tight from Costco. Frankly, I find all of the plastic wraps frustrating (in that Charlie Brown-kite-string-in-a-knot kind of way...)

ITA. We keep ours in a Stretch-Tite dispenser.

Stretch Tight....REALLY GOOD

I'm going to have to try Stretch-tite (per all the recommends), but I have been using Glad Press n Seal since it came out and I really like it. It's easy to use and keeps everything sealed tightly.
