mylar is really expensive, is it really mylar?

What is the advantage for mylar over regular plastic?


The bags aren’t so expensive. But the shipping is because just a few of the bigger bags have weight.
I shop from sites that give a set price on whatever amount you order, shipping at $4.95 such as honevillegrain.com.

They ship all over the U.S. doesn’t matter if you order $20 bucks or $200 bucks worth of goods, shipping is $4.95.

Oh and mylar keeps out oxygen, moisture and LIGHT.

Ok, I get it, Mylar is only Dupont’s product name/trade name

Basically all these other products including the one I am using are Mylar too as long as they have a metal coating. I just checked, mine all have a metal film too.

They are just your standard long term food storage bags that I bought from the grocery store. 10x cheaper than the “Mylar” brand.

Honeyville sells Mylar bags? I didn’t see them on their website.
