[Philmont]: Excellent bathing / laundry suggestion item

When I read Steve Mac Intyres reply saying he could not find the Ziploc Big
Bags mentioned in the below thread, I had to go to the local Wally World
(Wal-Mart) and look for them. The store here in my area New York still has
a package of 8ea - 13"x 14 1/8" size for $6.74. The shelf I found them on
looked like it had been resupplied not to long ago, there was a large
quantity of these packages too. They are sold here as a camping accessory, I
found them with the camping equipment gadgets. I did not look in the
household area where you would normally find Ziplocs, I have no idea if they
are there too.

I have looked for these to buy more of them and the stores in TN doesn't
carry them any more. We had some of these last year and were great for
anything.
